Comment on Who Killed the Webmaster? by MTLtechdude

I though webmasters had gone the way of the Cou Cou bird when bubble 1.0 burst but am still surprised when I see Job postings for webmasters specially when they are posted by medium to large businesses who actually run their business online. The fact is real Webmasters were always a myth, like unicorns many people believed in them but I have yet to meet anyone who ever met a real one, I have met good web developers, good programmers, good web designers and good system administrators, I have been in the biz foe a long time and have never met one that was good at all 4 at least not deserving the ‘Master’ title. What really peeves me these days are the Guru and Ninja titles. I am seeing these pop up here and there. Should wee look at the frequency of these mythical title titles as a sign that bubble 2.0 is about to burst?

Comment on 10 things you (probably) didn’t know about PHP. by Tim

I’m still learning PHP, but I’ve already come to love the ternary operator for simple (non-nested) assignments…it keeps code simpler and less visually jarring. To help visually parse the ternary statement, however, I place parens around each of the pieces, like so:

$var = (testvalue) ? (truevalue) : (falsevalue);

which makes it quite easy to read.

Why only 10 things?
2. I would check for MX, A, CNAME entries for a host
3. I think it’s better to use PDO now if you want to make your code database-independent to some extent.

After all these years, I’m still dating PHP but I crave Erlang so much more these days.

Very informative article and a good read. I think “webmasters” still play an important role in the industry, albeit more limited and rightly so. There will always be room in the market for the “HTML guy” because not everyone wants an all encompassing, web 2.0, collaborative community website.
