programmers salary, php
There is an interesting article on www.bestcodingpractices.com about programmers salary comparison posted bye Travis Hawkins. According to his resarch, he claims that ".net" developers earns most per hour. PHP comes second by the way and he thinks the main reason of this is the enormous community of php developers. I think making dependency of earning less to population of developers is a really interesting point of view. I can't say i totally agree all the ideas of him but he is right in some ways though.

ajax, php, framework
AJAX is a booming trend in web development technologies nowadays. With no doubt, it helps web developers to create websites working smoother, faster and more capable than before.. There are lots of AJAX frameworks written for PHP but i want to announce one which got my attention most with its clearity and ease of use.
AJAX Agent is a framework for taking the advantage of AJAX in PHP. It only needs three lines of code to invoke a remote scripting call. It is also an open source project what means to me that it will be getting involved in next days. Simple examples of it's capabilities can be seen
here. It has a little but yet enough documentation to start using it.
Framework can be downloaded from it's homepage at,

reusable, classes, functions
The way of being a professional coder lays on the path of how proper and reusable the code is. A good developer should always keep the source tidy and understandable. Biggest benefit of this ofcourse time. For example you are always using the same custom functions for accessing a database. So it would be a quicker way if you use a class for handling the database works. A project in a class structure is always reusable because you can slice it into parts for what you need. Otherwise you dig the soup of code for functions. I know many developer don't use classes because of they don't know how powerful the class logic is.

project handling, php
You have a time limited contract for building a project, now where to start working?
Being organized is the first and the most important issue. Start with thinking how much detail you can handle at most in the given time. Think it as a building and slice it to the blocks in your mind. Don't forget that impossible to build is nothing with slicing it. Your perspective should be from whole to the single parts. Also don't waste much time for detailing and documenting every block at first. Code every single part at least for having the working project in simplest way. Then use your remaining time's 3/4 for enhancing the parts. Releasing a beta after that period can be very useful. Taking feedback from customers will prevent turning backs which will be harder at final or release candidates. And use your last portion of time for refining and bugfixing your project.
When detailing blocks, group them and create hierarchies between these groups. Think every group as a floor and every block as a room. Like the building structures every floor should be standing upon another one is what called hierarchy in our case. So keeping the building standing up depends on the stability of the every single floor. You should have floors with similar stabilities from beginning to end. This helps you have a working example of the final project. I can explain why having a working project is so important in every stage of the project with giving an example. Every human begins his/her life as an embryo. At the beginning, an embryo is too simple comparing to a born baby but it is an alive organism from the beginning in a simplest way.
Think the biggest you can build. Build with keeping all parts together. These are the keys to achieve the main goal.
