PAMPA 1.0 - Jaxer included!

Update - Windows Home Fixed!
Version 1.0b contains hot fixes for Window$ Home Edition plus some little change to make PAMPA more robust than before during process managment.
If you already downloaded version 1.0 you can download only the Tray executable and rename it as PAMPA.exe

Please tell me if you have still problems, hoping this b version will be the final 'till 1.1 ;-)

Update
Final Version 1.0 now served via Google Code ;-)


I am proud to announce the first Release Candidate final 1.0 release of my tiny precious PAMPA, jumped from version 0.7 to 1.0 and rewrote from the scratch considering every suggestion its users gave me during these years (project born in 2006 and completely revisited for version 1.0)

What is PAMPA-J


PAMPA means Portable Apache, MySQL, and PHP Application, in this release with Aptana Jaxer included!
(shell I consider PAMPA-J a portable Aptana Cloud?)

What does it mean: Portable


PAMPA is the first customizable and portable WAMP environment that includes Jaxer and that is completely free (but of course donations are always appreciated).
You can launch PAMPA from an USB driver, a CD-ROM (without native database write capabilities), an external Hard Disk, your Hard Disk itself, configuring MySQL data folders, session folders via php.ini, Apache folders, Jaxer folders, and reading logs, changing configuration, in a truly simple way.

Where is it?


For some reason Google Code policy is to ask sourceforge about projects with the same name, so in Google Code I had to change PAMPA project name into PAMPA-J, considering that somebody created an empty PAMPA project in sourceforge 1 year ago, while PAMPA exists at least since February 2006 ... anyway, the link I provided already should not show the RC release yet, while this one, directly from the svn, is the unofficial Release Candidate 1 Direct Download

How does it work?


All you need to do is to choose a folder to decompress PAMPA and then launch PAMPA.exe from that folder, wherever it is.
The result, by default, should be a fully configured Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Jaxer environment for your Window$ 2000/XP/Vista/7 Operating System.
I am working to create a better "splash page" to introduce PAMPA, but right now the Release Candidate shows simply the Document Root with links for some file, Jaxer public folder included ;-)

What's in



  • Apache 2.2.11

  • MySQL 5.1.30-community

  • PHP 5.3.0 alpha 3 (RC1)

  • Jaxer 1.0.2.4347

  • phpMyAdmin 3.1.2



Why all this effort for a Release Candidate?
Because I am looking forward for your feedback, in order to release the first portable WAMP plus Jaxer environment with all you need to develop for your own or for distributions your applications and with all you need (in a reasonable way :D)

PAMPA-J is out, have fun! 8-)

8 Things you should not be afraid of as a Developer

Change In Software Development there is no such thing as stagnancy. Everything you develop now is just another version of a component that will probably change in the future. Change is the most common thing in Software Development, and you're better of accepting it as a fact. Expect future changes to everything you develop, and therefor design your Code more modular. This makes changes more easy and increases the Quality at the same time. Adapt the concepts of DRY and YAGNI . You will often come to the Situation, where you look at your Code and imagine that you could have done that "better". Don't let this thought prevent you from sleeping. Take action immediately and Refactor ! If you don't do it now, you will probably never do it. The longer you wait, the harder and more costly it gets. And you slowly grow up a mess you cant deal with anymore. "Good code is code that is easy to change. Code tends to change until it is no longer easy to change. All code bec...

So we just got back from a little Canadian weekend with Thee Oh Sees. We had a blast. There is a lot going on in our world at the moment so we've been a bit busy - sorry for the lack of updates here. We have a whole bunch of upcoming shows, check out the shows section to your right - these include shows with SEX CHURCH, a mini-tour with PYGMY SHREWS, a couple of shows with RUSSIAN CIRCLES, and a little European tour in December. If any of you euros cant make it to see us in December, we will be back in January for a little over a month, and we are very excited. We have a new LP done, it will be out in March on Sacred Bones Records and much touring in support of it shall follow. We have also been informed that Karmic Swamp Records is repressing the "Think" 7" that came out last year. There were only a handful of those pressed so hopefully people that missed out on getting them can grab one now. We will post here when it is available. Also, thanks to everyone who has o...

Why REST is so important

Image
This post is dedicated to REST, an architectural style of shaping webservices and the most misunderstood concept in the history of IT. This post is addressed to you who is designing webservice apis not being fully aware what REST actually means. I'm trying to give you the idea. This post is also addressed to you who think to know what REST means, when in reality you have no clue, just yet. Yes i have met such people in the past - plenty of them. It's not going into the details of the Richardson Maturity Model , and it's not gonna make you a REST expert. There are plenty of guides on the web for that: slides, youtube videos, blogposts, books and more. Rather than going into the details, i'm going to link some good resources at the end of this post. So lets start with The meaning of REST Representational State Transfer. This sentence is not only what REST stands for, it is also the tiniest possible description of what REST actually means. Didn't get it? Read it aga...
