CakePHP is by far the best open source framework for PHP development as it offers a number of unique features that make web development easy and enjoyable.
CakePHP is easily the best form of PHP for developing websites. PHP is a very flexible coding language, but at times it is the very PHP that leads to haphazard and untidy programming. The friendly PHP community and flexibility make web development using PHP fulfilling experience, but when programmers insert files and codes from diverse sources in the PHP code, things can get a little messy. PHP in the right hands is an excellent tool; PHP, in inexperienced hands, can create a lot of trouble.
PHP is an evolving language and, with the passage of time, new positive changes constantly increasing the utility value of PHP. There are numerous frameworks in the market; these frameworks add value to PHP, make it possible to … Read More
Rentacoder.com is a really helpful website. It is similar to eLance.com, but it specializes more in programming and coding while eLance.com covers more general services such as writing, translation, legal, accounting, etc.
It is more difficult to register on Rentacoder than on eLance. Similarly, Rentacoder has been burned by credit card fraud so you must take additional steps to validate your card for payment. The sign up process consists of the usual completion of the sign up form, setting up your credit card as the payment method, scanning or faxing both sides of the card to Rentacoder, and then receiving a phone call from Rentacoder validating the card. This is handled quickly and efficiently.
One reason for using Rentacoder over eLance is the minimum project cost on eLance is $ 50.00 and Rentacoder does not have a minimum.
C was the most popular programming language in December 2020, according to the TIOBE Index.
This time last year, C was below Java in these rankings, but the latter programming language has lost 4.72% of popularity share since December 2019, which has allow C to claim the top spot.
According to the Index, Python – which is in third place – has gained the most popularity compared to December 2019, increasing by 1.9%.
TIOBE noted that it will be announcing its 2020 programming language of the year in January 2021, and will base this on which programming language has increased the most in the ratings over the course of 2020.
It noted that Python will almost certainly win this award as it has seen much more growth than any other programming language – with the closest competitors being C++ with 0.71%, Groovy with 0.69%, and R with 0.6%.
Intel unveiled ControlFlag – a machine programming research system that can autonomously detect errors in code. Even in its infancy, this self-supervised system shows promise as a productivity tool to assist software developers with the labor-intensive task of debugging.
In preliminary tests, ControlFlag trained and learned novel defects on over 1 billion unlabeled lines of production-quality code.
ControlFlag and debugging
In a world increasingly run by software, developers continue to spend a disproportionate amount of time fixing bugs rather than coding. It’s estimated that of the $1.25 trillion that software development costs the IT industry every year, 50 percent is spent debugging code.
Debugging is expected to take an even bigger toll on developers and the industry at large. As we progress into an era of heterogenous architectures — one defined by a mix of purpose-built processors to manage the massive sea of data available today — the software required
Here’s what the National Museum of African American History and Culture in D.C. has in store for the month of December.
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture unveiled its plan Thursday for a month’s worth of digital programming, initiatives and interactive media for December.
One of the key features of the recently-announced programming is a daylong “cross-country digital community initiative” called “24 hours in a Time of Change.” The event will be hosted Dec. 11.
The program will highlight the trials, failures and triumphs that Americans have faced in 2020, from the coronavirus pandemic to the social upheaval that pushed issues of racial equity and police brutality to the forefront of national conversation.
The Smithsonian will stream live programming from 10 of its museums and centers throughout the 24-hour sharing period.
On top of that event, there will be a number of featured programs, such as
New streaming platform discovery+ will launch on January 4, 2021
It will feature programming from some of America’s most popular channels such as HGTV, TLC, OWN, Investigative Discovery, Animal Planet, Food Network, BBC, A&E, The HISTORY Channel, and Lifetime
Discovery+ will also feature exclusive new original series
Plans range from from $4.99 to $6.99 a month
Each discovery+ account will allow four people to stream at once for no extra charge
Yes, it’s true! Discovery Communications is launching its very own streaming platform, aptly named discovery+, early next year. Now if you’re reading this and are already overwhelmed by the growing number of streaming services on the market, we can relate. It can be hard to know which streaming service is the overall best value for you and your family.
Here’s the skinny: If you love Chip and Joanna Gaines, Bobby Flay, Oprah Winfrey, and Martha Stewart, discovery+ will most

New York Theatre Workshop has announced its Holiday Follies on December 16, as well as the launch of the NYTW Digital Archive which will include a work-in-process sneak preview of Martha Redbone & Aaron Whitby’s The Talking Circles exclusively for NYTW Members and Repeat Defenders.
NEW YORK THEATRE WORKSHOP’S HOLIDAY FOLLIES
On Wednesday December 16th at 7PM EST, New York Theatre Workshop will host a one-night-only holiday variety show, New York Theatre Workshop’s Holiday Follies. The evening will include festive holiday classics, dance-both nice and naughty!-and some Follies fun to bring folks together for some laughs this season. A hundred years ago, New York City was in the grips of a global pandemic, but the Ziegfeld Follies soldiered on, featuring the stars of the day, including WC Fields, Will Rogers and Fanny Brice. While we’re unable to be together in person this holiday season, NYTW wants to honor this tradition

“We think ControlFlag is a powerful new tool that could dramatically reduce the time and money required to evaluate and debug code. According to studies, software developers spend approximately 50% of the time debugging. With ControlFlag, and systems like it, I imagine a world where programmers spend notably less time debugging and more time on what I believe human programmers do best—expressing creative, new ideas to machines,” said Justin Gottschlich, principal scientist and director/founder of machine programming research at Intel Labs, in a
