This week I’m starting my vacation, and its time to get back to all things fun. Today I got offered a spot on the Prado Developer Team, which I hope will prove to be both a challenge and a great opportunity to improve my knowledge on both the framework and PHP.

As a part-time project I’ve started building a multi-touch display surface inspired by Microsoft Surface. I’ve completed a *very* basic edition (tutorial here, and I’ve just started planning a more complicated setup along the lines of this project.

I’ll do some posts on the process as soon as I get some pictures.

I just recently came around to start reading it. This is a 100 page long text which covers computer memory in detail, with focus on how software interacts with memory. From RAM to CPU caches the text moves on to tips on how we as programmers can improve our code when it comes to memory management and performance. A really good read which I suggest every programmer should check out.
