Markizano.NET

2011-12-26 So, you're all probably wondering what are the big plans for www? Ever since I purchased markizano.net, I wanted to build a place where people could come and see my work, I wanted to (with permission) keep working copies of my client's sites as an empty mirror or a sandbox for testing/viewing purposes. I would keep the applications in a virtual environment and reset the database on a timed interval. I wanted to publicly host code that I had written as an example of what I can do as a developer and also to keep for myself an archive of things I've published to see how I develop as a software engineer. How does my code formatting change over time? How does my architecture develop with each new release? What new concepts do I employ as time goes on? ...

So, about six months ago, I set myself a set of goals to accomplish about this time in my life. I think now would be a good time to review those goals and see where I've come since then. I set out to accomplish my Zend/PHP5.3 certification, more security-oriented programming, and more front-end development. Since then, I have accomplished the goal of my PHP/5.3 certification, and I have started developing more applications that involve more javascript. I have not quite yet gotten involved in more security-oriented programming, but that is yet to come. I have to say I'm proud that I've accomplished what I have thus far and I would like to continue this trend. Goals for the next 6months Security-Oriented Programming I want to continue the goal of finding more security-oriented p...

In recent weeks, I've been curious about Github and how they host their private/public repositories. It was obvious they used SSH to establish the connection, which I thought was awesome from a security standpoint. However, for personal educational gain, I was curious how they did it. I ran across a Google search result that said you could host your own private GIT server . So, I followed the user's advice and found it was rather easy to use a generic SSH connection to establish your own private GIT repository. I thought it was really awesome, but after a while, I wanted to show my work off to a select few, but at the same time, the idea of just about anybody having SSH access to a user on my system just wasn't ideal. So, I looked for the authentication method used to manage users accessing the GIT server in question and found this ...

https://github.com/markizano/ZF-MVC Hey all, I just wanted to throw a heads up out to the ZF world. I've created a place where we can all come together as a community and maintain a repository of application-specific models, views and controllers. This can be an open compilation of everybody's contributed effort at minimizing work on each other by providing us with a place where generic modules can be popped out of this project and into any other project. If anybody has any generic component, such as a basic login, registration, contact-us form, or other module that's pretty generic enough that it could go in just about any ZF-based project, and you're willing to release it under the BSD license, then feel free to fork a copy of this repository, add the changes, and request a merge. I'll be working the best I can to maintain this so we can all have a ZF repository of modules, controllers and views.

I'm having to take this class at UOPX by the class title: Philosophy. I just wanted to take a moment to reflect on some of the text we are given to read and make note of my interest in this particular subject. Following is an excerpt from the text, which quite accurately depicts what I see happening around us all every day: The Cave In the Republic, Plato uses a vivid allegory to explain his two-realms philosophy. He invites us to imagine a cave in which some prisoners are bound so that they can look only at the wall in front of them. Behind them is a fire whose light casts shadows of various objects on the wall in front of the prisoners. Because the prisoners cannot see the objects themselves, they regard the shadows they see as the true reality. One of the prisoners eventually escapes from the cave and, in the light of the su...

Knowledge Knowledge, is the essence of education. Knowledge is truth. Knowledge is the collection of facts and data, statistics and analysis. Knowledge is good for retention, reference, and remark. Intelligence Intelligence is the essence of interpretation. A person can be knowledgeable, but that data is meaningless if it cannot be interpreted. Intelligence breeds the inception of concepts, spider webs of connections, and interpretations of anticipation. Intelligence is the adaptation to the surrounding environment; the interpretation of change in data over time. Smartness Smartness is the essence of wit. Smart is the ability to adapt to change quickly and efficiently, the ability to perform impromptu scenarios such that they emerge the victor of the obtained goal; Social Engineering ...

Since I've began working for this company known as Integraclick / Clickbooth based out in Sarasota, FL, I've been asked to generate a list of goals which I wish to accomplish within the next six months. A list of my goals are as follows: Zend Certification How I plan to achieve this goal:     I would like to become Zend certified in PHP/5.3, and later Zend certified in the Zend Framework. I'm going to learn the study guides and schedule to take the test sometime early February. Taking the Zend Certification on the Zend Framework will take a bit more time to study and prepare as it will be in combination with my already-scheduled online courses with UOPX . Information Security How I plan to achieve this goal:     I will start spending more of my free time studying the details of Information Security. For example, getting to know too...
