Read moreExtPHP: An ExtJS Converter/Wrapper for PHP Developers
It is something that I had to think about in my day job, because my team is migrating to PHP for web development and I believe that we simply do not have enough time for them to learn JavaScript’s intricacies, I needed to be the one person who would have to wrestle JavaScript when problems happened.

Read moreKodachi 0.5.1 now skinnable (and more)
Kodachi v0.5.1 is out! It’s good news for developers who want to write plug-ins or if you wish to change the look and feel of the application: A demo plug-in is now included. All it does is add a new direct word to Kodachi’s vocabulary: ‘Demo’. Type it, select some action, and it will display a Growl-like notification confirming your action. A very easy starting place for budding plug-in developers.- Kodachi’s user interface is now skinnable. Actually this goes a bit beyond a simple skin as you can change its behaviour alltogether. Note that when launching Kodachi, you will now see the new demo skin, called ‘Bezel’, that I created. If you are familiar with QuickSilver, this is certainly an interface you are already used to. If you wish to work with the old interface, simply disable the ‘BezelInterface’ plug-in.- The installer now checks which version of .Net is installed on your PC, if any, and offers to install the correct version if necessary.Download Kodachi 0.5.1
