PHP In Action

Two very nice quotes from the (excellent) book PHP in Action:


Zwei sehr nette Zitate aus dem (im übrigens sehr guten) Buch PHP in Action:

Chapter 4: Understanding objects and classes

If you want to confess a crime, you can say, I shot the sheriff.

If you want to write an academic paper about it, you express the same things differently, something like this: The shooting of the sheriff was carried out by the present author.

Once and only once

Then one or more of the following happens:

(…)

We try to fix a bug, but we're not changing the code that is actually causing the problem. Instead, we change a duplicate of it. So the fix doesn't work, and if we're not even aware of the duplication, we may have no idea why. This is frustrating. At this point it's tempting to get drunk or bang your head against the wall. Unfortunately, neither of these procedures is considered good software engineering pratice.

I love it when reading a textbook really is fun.

Ich mag es, wenn es so richtig Spaß macht, ein Sachbuch zu lesen.
