Recently installed the Zend Studio for Eclipse and took it upon myself to get Android Development setup as well. I also found Magento works best with ZendServer, although it does require a few work arounds to get Magento to work with ZendServer.
However with that being said I’m pretty much happy to have one IDE that I can do both Web Development, and Android Development in one IDE!
Now if only I can setup C# development, and Eclipse not be such a resource/memory hog.
If anyone desires I can write up a more detailed step by step guide, however at this point I think its pretty easy to figure out, with the links I provided.
177 kilobytes of awesomeness! I’d highly recommend the link in full HD than my embed to enjoy, or better yet if you’ve got a good graphics card like an late model NVIDIA or ATI then download the tiny executable.
The secret behind all this is procedural content generation. in a nutshell, instead of storing a movie as-is we’re storing a certain number of mathematical formulas for image and audio manipulation as well as the “recipe” how to apply those small bits of code in a way that what you see comes out. And while it’s running your computer’s graphics card cares for the actual displaying ot the world, just like in modern 3D games. Formulas+recipe are of course way smaller than the end result, and with a few additional sprinkles of magic compression fairy dust we get down to under 200 kilobytes, which is way less than one single high quality image of this show would take.
Been trying to get as up to speed as fast as possible with Magento for some future modules I have planned and have been reading this book, php|Architects Guide to Programming with Magento. So far it has been a very insightful read, although it is somewhat dated as their are section mentioning bundled products as a future feature but doesn’t go into details of the new product type. Magento now has bundled products. However there are lots of insightful chapters on other things that I have not picked up on. Some of which I was aware of just from reading Magento’s Community forum’s, Wiki entries and other people’s blog postings and just simply playing with Magento myself.
They do offer the book in a PDF form for a dirt cheap price of $29.99 and is well worth the small amount their asking for it for anyone who’s really wanting to get good understanding of the internal’s of Magento. It isn’t a very complex book but just enough complexity for anyone who has had previous programming experience with PHP and such to pick it up and hit the ground running. If I had to give a rating it would be four stars out of five.
