PHP > ASP.NET? + SWFObject + Google Javascript Libraries API

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010 at 9:15 pm

Actually…I’m not entirely convinced of the above statement (PHP > ASP.NET). I just know that within the last week, I was building something in ASP.NET. Today I was building something in PHP. Both were simple CRUDs…actually, more like C(reate) R(etrieve) U(pdate)s…(btw, the D(elete) is the last one). And PHP was so much easier to develop in, a bit harder to debug (my errors consisted of: Parse error on line: #) but….everything is just so much faster and simpler!

Even with drag and drop controls, Visual Studio design view, etc…I found it more fun and easier to develop in PHP.

Anyways, it was good to develop in both and stay away from ASP Classic.

I developed some good PHP today, finished what I needed to do. Back to my .NET project!

Man…I walked home today and thought of 2 other things to blog about but I can’t remember them now that I’m at home >:( I’ve got some defective RAM and the only ROM I came across was the Royal Ontario Museum.

OMG i just spent like, 20 minutes putting that button in…the reason was that this google page:
http://code.google.com/apis/libraries/devguide.html#swfobject has some code,
load request: google.load(“swfobject, 2.2″);
but they forgot 2 quotes, it should be
load request: google.load(“swfobject”, “2.2”); !

DAMN YOU GOOGLE! HELP ME OUT AND FRUSTRATE ME AT THE SAME TIME ! If you weren’t the best (minus Wave and Talk), I’d hate you! But no…I (would) still love (to work for) you.

/malnourished. will develop for food.

Finally, a .NET project!

I’m excited! I’m putting my textbook knowledge to good use on a project that could be built in ASP Classic VB…but I thought I’d finally step out of my comfort zone and attempt something harder.

I’m excited, not only am I using .NET, I’m also learning about this Google Bar Chart API which lets me create an image like this:

Out of code like this:
<img src=”http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=bhg&agent=jgcharts&chs=340×240&chxt=x,y&chf=bg,s,F3F3F3&chd=t:16.7,16.7,0,66.6&chbh=a,0,35&chds=0,100&chxr=0,0,100&chxl=1:|1.25%20%%20-%203.50%20%|%3E3.50%20%%20-%205.75%20%|%3E5.75%20%%20-%208.00%20%|%3E8.00%20%%20-%2010.25%20%&chco=0079C1&chm=t16.7%,000000,0,0,13|t16.7%,000000,0,1,13|t0%,000000,0,2,13|t66.6%,FFFFFF,0,3,13″>

I have plans to go to Taste of the Danforth today and Jersey Boys tomorrow…but in the meantime, I hope to be coding. I just know I’m gonna think about this project during these 2 events…it’s gonna pop into my head and my mind is gonna wander, thinking about solutions to the problem.

Excited! I <3 projects that motivate me. Especially when they’re work projects because I know I can’t not do it…I know my laziness, ADD, never finishing attitude won’t come into play here…because that sort of Warren only shows up during personal projects, not for work projects. /can’t wait to go home and code :D

Damn you syntax! Why you gotta be all…similar but different

ELSEIF or ELSE IF?

do IF statements need END IF or can you just use parenthesis { }

OR or || ?

AND or && ?

!= or <>?

NOT(statement) or !(statement) ?

Why is x=y sometimes a comparison, not a declaration (it might be just VB that does that?)

VB uses &, PHP uses ., JavaScript uses +…C# uses…I don’t remember… + I think? Why must concatenation have so many different methods

” or \” or “” ?

<!–– ––> or <%-- --%> or /* */

‘ or // ?

Don’t get me started on Arrays! Sometimes Dynamic, sometimes size is fixed…then there’s ArrayList…

I just want to code but I always get caught up in incorrect syntax. I should really finish my Coding Language Reference. It’s really frustrating knowing what to code but getting caught up on “grammar”.

Like, I know how to eat and apple but I don’t know how to cut it or bite into it or liquefy it…or…that’s a terrible analogy

I’m feeling a dry spell of good posts lately. This is no exception.
