CE 6.0 - why the codename "Yamazaki" ?

CE 6.0 - why the codename “Yamazaki” ?
I’ve been asked why we used the name “Yamazaki” as a codename for CE 6.0 - There’s some history behind the naming of Windows CE versions, here’s the short version…
Before the Windows CE product was released we had an internal set of tools known as the Oem Adaptation Kit also known as the OAK - an OAK of course is a type of tree.

The initial releases of Windows CE were therefore named after trees, as follows.

Windows CE 1.0 - Alder (Nov 1996)
Windows CE 2.0 - Birch (Nov 1997)
Windows CE 3.0 - Cedar (Apr 2000)
Interestingly, there was a second team within the Windows CE group that worked on the tools, I guess you could consider tools to be something that makes a job easier, or cuts the job down to size - therefore the tools releases were named after things that cut down trees - as follows…

Windows CE 1.0 - Alder - Tools: Axe
Windows CE 2.0 - Birch - Tools: Buzzsaw
Windows CE 3.0 - Cedar - Tools: Chainsaw
For Windows CE 4.0 the original plan was to call the O/S DougFir (DouglasFir), the thing that cuts down DougFir trees was going to be Dozer (BullDozer) - interestingly, at Windows CE 4.0 the o/s team and tools teams merged together to form a new, combined team - the codenames for the operating system and tools also changed at this time from trees/tools to Whiskeys - so the codenames for Windows CE 4.0 onwards are as follows.

Windows CE 4.0 - Talisker (Jan 2002)
Windows CE 4.1 - Jameson (Jun 2002)
Windows CE 4.2 - McKendric (Apr 2003)
Windows CE 5.0 - Macallan (Aug 2004)
Windows CE 5.0 Network Device Feature Pack - Tomatin (Apr 2006)
Windows CE 6.0 - Yamazaki (Sep 2006)

Free proxy us.feuvan.net reloaded

Yesterday I mailed surpasshosting service and asked them to transfer my host to another shared machine with a new IP which is not in the black list of GFW.

So, if you want to browse Wikipedia or just anonymously, type http://us.feuvan.net in your favorite Internet browser, then enjoy it.

Again, thanks to PHProxy!

> After the author of PHProxy stoped the development, several months later, the IP address of us.feuvan.net is banned by GFC again.

Effective PHP Develop Environment Part.1

Most PHP newbies will ask such a question: Is there any IDE for PHP like Visual Studio for C++/C# or Eclipse for Java ?

Zend Studio ( Commercial ) is Zend Corp’s solution, and someone may like PHPEclipse (Free, based on Eclipse) or PHPed/PHPEdit/Komodo, sth else.

But what’s important for productive code is Debug / Profiling / Code Analysis functions. As you know, Zend Studio provides these function all in one as an intergrated environment, while other editors like PHPEclipse need external debugger to provide these important functions. Xdebug is an almost perfect solution.

FUNCTIONALITY
>
> The Xdebug extension helps you debugging your script by providing a lot of valuable debug information. The debug information that Xdebug can provide includes the following:
>
> stack and function traces in error messages with:
> full parameter display for user defined functions
> function name, file name and line indications
> support for member functions
> memory allocation
> protection for infinite recursions
>
> Xdebug also provides:
>
> profiling information for PHP scripts
> script execution analysis
> * capabilities to debug your scripts interactively with a debug client
>

Supported:
VIM (Free): plugin of DBGp client.
Komodo (Commercial): intergrated
PHPEdit: intergrated
PHPEclipse:
net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.xdebug.core, net.sourceforge.phpeclipse.xdebug.ui

You can debug local/remote PHP scripts by configure php.ini on the target environment for these parameters :

remote_host, remote_port, you know how to configure
>
> remote_mode req/jit,
>
> remote_handler GDB/DBGp, I suggest DBGp.

In Part.2 I’ll give out an example of installation and configuration from scratch on a Debian/Linux system, and debug client on Windows.
