Well, if the number of DevShed articles in one category means anything, then I think PHP would be winning hands down right now. New this morning is yet another article, this one covering PHP and PostegreSQL - the installation, compiling PHP with the correct things and, of course, the sample code. They even show you how to use it in a "real life" project - an Address Book that stores name and address. For someone just starting out with PHP and PostegreSQL, or someone that's been a MySQL zealot forever, this is a good intro piece - it gives you all of the needed info, and not a whole lot of fluff.

For most of us out there, we can't afford a staff of people to come in and beat around on our websites a bit, just to see what we need to change (interface, wording, etc...) - well, this new article from SitePoint might just be the answer. In "Usability on the Cheap", they talk about how to get the same kinds of results that the big companies get when they outsource it to some "usability company". They go through a lot of the details here, including the types of testing, actually conducting the test, and pulling together the results. Too bad some of us can't even afford that kind of testing - people like me just have to post a site and cross fingers, toes, eyes, whatever...

And, finally this morning, there's an article over on the O'Reilly Network that talks about Six Common Enterprise Programming Mistakes. (The "enterprise" just refers to the level of programming they're talking about.) While the article talks more specifically about Java and JavaBeans technology, there's some good points that can be brought up from their main headers. My personal favorite: " I don't need anyone telling me what to do in my programming." I've seen too man programmers fall into this trap before. They think that they have the end-all, be-all solution for a problem and get to hacking away at it, only to discover a week or two down the road that someone already wrote a super-nice class to handle that same thing. Thanks to PHPEverywhere for the link.
