I say this with no sarcasm meant or implied: Congrats on getting new ownership, guys

Deathbeam is actually explaining the 'internal' keyword wrong. C# has what are known as assemblies, which are either executables (actual .exe) or dynamically linked libraries (.dll). These assemblies can be created by/contain multiple files. So, what he wants is a way to say "these files belong to a framework assembly, so most of what's in them should be hidden from the public." 'Internal' says that only code that's in the same assembly can access it.

They turn up the graphics on level 6.

Eh, it's pretty cheap if you're actually coding for a living. It costs maybe an hour or two of work.

You do realize that you can customize PhpStorm's appearance? Just like with every other IDE? I use a modified version of the ubiquitous Son of Obsidian theme for both PhpStorm and Visual Studio. Looks great.

What are you referring to when you mention 'code completion'? Intellisense? Actual code generation (say, dumb getters and setters)? I tend to like both, mainly because of my disabled hands. Less typing = good for me.

Anyone have any experience with cloud based PaaS hosting? I've heard of PHP Fog, and apparently Heroku has PHP hosting capabilities (poorly documented and not advertised). I'm curious to see if anyone's tried PaaS hosting, and what their thoughts are.

I recently bought a few names through hover.com. A bit expensive ($15 each), but a great control panel. and they were recommended by Leo Laporte, who generally knows his stuff. No complaints.

++PhpStorm. The new version even auto-detects if you have a popular MVC framework.

Bullshit. And, quite frankly, I'm getting tired of you spamming the board with your unfounded "OOP is the bestest" tripe*. Consider this a warning: any further posts that merely cheerlead OOP will be considered trolling and dealt with as such. *Lest you think I don't 'get' OOP, I use it every day, both in PHP and C#.

I've been using the free trial of PhpStorm for the last week or so. I'm loving it. Does just about everything I'm looking for out of the box, and is simple to tweak. Even better, it's still reasonably quick in my VM setup. Definitely buying a licence when the evaluation period ends.

I'm looking at getting PhpStorm (and RubyMine, made by the same company). Thoughts? Impressions?

And, just to clarify how that happens: Gurus are selected on merit. For us, it means being active and helpful. Posting merely to increase post count is frowned on. So, if you (or anyone) wants to be a Guru, simply do your best to help others. If you're consistent, we'll notice.

Figured this list should have the actual Mozilla Developer Center stuff: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript

Not a book, but a decent article on writing good JavaScript: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/the-essentials-of-writing-high-quality-javascript/
