I am constantly eyeing for emerging web technologies particularly in web development, rich media development, user-interface development and mobile development. Below is the list of them along with their current version plus the reference site if I find them available. I will be updating this post whenever possible. Please feel free to comment.

PHP is currently the most trusted web programming language. PHP is recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. Aside for being fast when it comes to execution, it is a perfect match for the most widely used database which is MySQL. Together, these open-source technologies can create power applications. PHP scripts can be written using procedural or object-oriented programming style.

During my free time, I am writing scripts for PHP Classes that I can use for my projects and sharing it back to the open source community. Here’s a list of my published classes:

EBM2BMP Class
Entitize Class
Entitize Class for PHP 5
Google Chart for PHP 5
MySQL for PHP 5

Please check back as I will be updating this post as soon as I publish more PHP classes. I hope you find these classes useful.
