Sep 24, 2014 @ 16:09:12

The Three Devs & A Maybe podcast has released their latest episode (#44) - Guess who's back?. Host Lewis Cains rejoins the rest of the crew: Michael Budd, Fraser Hart and Edd Mann.

With Lewis back for this weeks show we have the first full-house in sometime, this sparks conversation on what he has got upto since his last appearance. Discussion starts with Fraser's and Edd's woes when trying to handle responsive email design - and how the relevant testing is somehow more painful than the dreaded 'IE'. We then move on to discuss the latest release of PHPStorm, Swift and how the Clean Coders video series helps to refine our development skills. Finally, we bring up the topic of task managers and how most of the hosts are split between using Trello and Basecamp.

Other topics mentioned include a talk about naming things, functional programming in PHP (a book) and the Clean Coders training. You can listen to this latest episode either through the downloading it for listening offline. If you enjoy the episode, consider subscribing to their feed too.

Basecamp Style Subdomains With CodeIgniter
Nov 18, 2010 @ 18:38:23

On NetTuts.com today there's a new tutorial showing you how to use the CodeIgniter framework to create Basecamp-style subdomains in your application.

CodeIgniter is a simple and lightweight PHP framework used to create powerful web applications. Today, we are going to do something nifty: we’ll combine user names and subdomains to make for a more cohesive user experience. If you’re a bit confused, this feature allows your users to access their accounts by typing in a custom url, which maps to their user name, such as harbinger.yourapp.com.

Their setup shows the homepage for the application if you go directly to the domain but changes to a login form when you hit the subdomain. There's a bit of DNS configuration involved to get the subdomains working (you'll have to add in a wildcard to catch the subdomains). They show you how to set this up on your localhost if you're working on OSX or Windows. With a few changes to the Apache server for virtual host and a basic install of CodeIgniter, they get started creating the database tables and control panel application.
