SEO – Eine Begriffsklärung
Seit etwa zwei Jahrzehnten macht ein seltsamer Begriff im Dunstkreis des Themas Webentwicklung die Runde. Ein Begriff der bei professionellen Webentwicklern mitunter einen schaalen Nachgeschmack und das Gefühl von schmierigen Gebrauchtwagenhändlern und Graumarkt Deals mit gefälschten Modelabels und Parfümmarken hinterlässt. SEO – Eine Begriffsklärung weiterlesen
.ssh directory mod for SSH keys
These commands enable a working access via SSH using keys:
chmod 0700 ~/.ssh
chmod 0600 ~/.ssh/*

25 Years of PHP
A very enlightening talk on PHP and its history. Rasmus Lerdorf thouroughly explains apparent inconsistencies and also explains why they make perfect sense. Get to know the in and outs of PHP and why it’s brilliant in its own way and why it’s so successful to this very day. This is a must-watch for every web software developer!
Symfony
Symfony is one of the most mature PHP Frameworks and many large Webapplications are built on it. Many newer Frameworks utilise and integrate Symfony components. A solid foundation and widespread industry adoption often make it the go-to toolkit for non-trivial projects.
Symfony ist eines der ausgereiftesten PHP Frameworks und wird bei in vielen großen Webapplikationen als Grundlage verwendet.

Dart & Flutter
Normaly I’m not a sucker for new programming languages that pop up seemingly out of nowhere. I was notably skeptical about Ruby and the Rails hype and even with languages that the world needs – such as Rust and Go – I do support them, but don’t jump all over them right away. Dart however I’ve been weary about ever since it showed up on my radar a few years ago. Dart & Flutter weiterlesen
The Essence of Agility
“Agile, Agile, Certified Scrum, … BULLSHIT!” – that was the initial title of this post. Good for a splash and effect, but a tad negative, I admit. 
The Agile and Scrum Craze has gotten out of hand. Buzzword driven project managment, bad project/method fits and a few other things are taxing my and many other peoples nerves when we bump into someone looking for a “Certified Scrum Master” or tell us that their 8000 employee corporation is now migrating to “Agile” and “Scrum”. Or when some webshop thinks “Agile” is some nown, and a nown that’s nothing other for a fancy words disguising total chaos and labeling it planned. The Essence of Agility weiterlesen
Obtain SSL certificate Information before redirect

Yii Framework
Yii is one of the lesser known PHP Frameworks, but it has been around for quite some time and is notably popular with professional developers who hate faffing about when building web applications. It’s a sort-of secret tip and go-to toolkit for those who hate the shoddy and sub-par data- and application models of WordPress, Drupal and the likes. It is also the foundation of the professional Craft CMS. Yii Framework weiterlesen
