Tech4Africa 2007: Thanks for the feedback
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007
When I first started doing research on the web to get contact details for Southern African businesses & individuals involved with the web and information technology, I wasn’t convinced that there would be massive interest in another technology conference in South Africa.
However, with responses from over 150 people I am pleased to say that […]
Acceptance testing PHP using selenium
Friday, January 26th, 2007
As we are approaching the final stages of one of out projects, I have been doing some serious acceptance testing to make sure that the site is functioning correctly. To set the testing up, I was given a steer in the right direction and used the Seagull wiki as a guide for the installation….hat tip […]

Tech 4 Africa - Creating momentum
Tuesday, November 28th, 2006
And so it begins….
Almost surprisingly, the feedback has been along the lines we were expecting:
people would be willing to go to JHB,
wanna know about stuff around web2.0 primarily,

Building for the web is like building a house
Thursday, November 16th, 2006
Over the past few months, I have been working a a number of quite different projects. But, even though the projects have been different from one another, I have encountered the same problems on each of them.

The Joy of wireframing
Wednesday, November 15th, 2006
Yesterday and today I was in two meetings which were wireframe sign-off and iteration meetings, and I have to say that the work put into doing the wireframes has really paid off. Both clients are happy that their needs are being understood and met, and one client even expressed joy at having something that […]
Tech 4 Africa - Technology conference
Friday, November 3rd, 2006
With the onset of an extremely cold snap of weather on the 1st November, I am longing to go back home to soak up some rays from the hot African sun during Christmas time.
Instead we will be hard at work in a cold and gloomy London, which is really not as bad as it seems. […]
Getting to grips with PEAR Quickform and Smarty
Thursday, October 26th, 2006
Over the past few months, we have done a number of projects using the php Smarty package. Smarty is a fantastic templating engine which is quite easy to use and is extremely powerful. It also enforces the distinction between presentation logic and application logic and provides a great deal of flexibility when developing.
