Picks of the Week (09–1)

without comments

This is a first of a series of posts. I am not sure I will be able to keep up with the week­ley post­ing period. Anyway, I’ll try it :-).

It is always a nice expe­ri­ence look­ing at the evo­lu­tion and growth of the dig­i­tal ecosys­tem. I find it refresh­ing when­ever one has the oppor­tu­nity of learn­ing sharp or bril­liant ideas wan­der­ing around the web. I’ll try to share my find­ings with you. Hope you like them.

Today’s picks ;-)

  • Phalanger. A PHP imple­men­ta­tion for the .NET frame­work. Documents about Features, Performance and well-tested appli­ca­tions that work suc­cess­fully on it worth reading.
