Newb here learning rails... any advice/comparison of community engine v. social stream? I'll be writing a dating site, so especially if either lends themselves to that development I'd appreciate the advice.
I have tried CommunityEngine in the old days. Currently to use it with rails3, you will have to use a specific branch mainly updated by the community to make it stable. i'm not sure if that rails3 branch is production ready yet.
I don't know community engine, but have been looking at social stream and it looks very well put together.
We upgraded social stream to a mobile platform by exposing api end points - it took a couple of months. We built separate controllers for each call rather than modifying the core classes. The platform is now flexible enough to cater for any use case and we can hook in to updates on the trunk. It's really well thought architecture and has had iterations of refactoring. (I think the webviews / javascript is a bit of a mess though)
I suggest you have a look at this - it took my tech lead a couple of weeks to be comfortable with this.

WRT communityengine - I abandoned this over 4 years ago.
https://github.com/jdp-global/communityengine/commit/31f9b267706157a63bfc103a290bd6e3d874066a
Any platform you choose needs to have a focus on APIs / web services.

I’ve been using Yii since version 1 … I’ve done lots of projects (i’d say about 50). I know Yii.
But I am being disappointed.
Yii was glorious and wonderful in 2014-2017, but after 2018 I’m not seeing same activity.
Forums are useless, old, inactive … there’s not more Yii2 extensions or modules. Everything is “old”, unfinished, discontinued …
Now I’m facing changes in my life as coder, and I was wondering whether to wait for Yii3 (because it will be a revolution), or to switch to Laravel.
Sincerely… what do you think if this “Yii environment” situation ?
Please, I would like comments from people who really know both environments, not only Laravel lovers.
Can you anyone tell me a WORKING and UPDATED extension
for social networks that works PERFECTLY ?
yii2-usuario was the best … WAS … linkedin works sometimes, facebook are not updated, and there’s no newer social since 2016
can you tell me other for datatables ?
nullref has awful support since it’s everything rewritten in Javascript so you can’t access properly relations and subrelations of models
for payments (stripe compatible for example) ?
for…
and so on…
These just last 3 examples has beautiful, crazy updated and reviewed plugins in Laravel, for example. Or even in NodeJS.
2amigos and kartiv were two perfect partners for Yii2 core … but they are not being continued … so they are pretty old
Anytime I search for any “extension” in github, all projects are 4 years ago (the newest!).
By the way … Yii3 started in 2019 … 60% done so far … and can’t be used yet for real working projects in live. So … waiting 2 years more with this so empty market of extensions ?
Let’s be clear, my problem with Yii is NOT the core (Thank you Sam and others for your infinite work!), but the community, extensions made (and/or updated) and “movement” of the ecosystem.
I know I can code myself (i’ve done lots of extensions), but it’s easy as a coder when you have good repositories with pretty new extensions and solutions, and a very active community behind. This forum has about 150 posts this year. Laravel (for example, 150 posts represents just the last 4 days). Have you notice tons of posts here with 0 replies ?
Also, Yii coders was easy to find in 2015 … now it’s 1 out of 100 maybe.
Let’s assume Yii environment has decreased drastically in the last 4 years.
I would suggest to move to laravel.
As yii and laravel uses almost similar behavior on basic level
MVC, Based on symphony, ORM
I honestly think you'll easily grap what laravel is offering.
Plus, laravel is upgrading day by day.
The answer to your question lies in your question .
Big community, Wonderful documentation, Enjoyable coding, Lot of feature and package, Popularity and ... all of them can describe Laravel.
Do not doubt and take a deep dive.
If you worked with Yii2, you should definitely use Yii3.
I'm using it for minor projects and I'm learning a lot.
The advantages are the same as always
Very fast (surely faster than Laravel)
Very complete
Very customizable
Very standard and modern (A bit difficult to start to understand it)
I recommend you to start with the demo application (it's a blog) or the base application (blank)
What's with the packages?
That on Yii2 you can only use Yii2 - compatible packages? take any package and use it, use the dependency injection container.
If we talk about the fact that the framework is outdated, then yes there is such ...
I myself wrote more than a dozen projects on Yii2.
I didn't really like Larevel, my opinion.
But the symphony, on the contrary, I was very pleased with.
The readme.md at https://github.com/NativeScript/windows-runtime says that the Windows runtime for Nativescript is in proof of concept stage, and then lists what I understand to be very deep language features that are not implemented yet.
The tone on the https://www.nativescript.org/blog/nativescript-runtime-preview-for-windows-10 announcement seems a bit more enthusiastic about the current feature set.
Being able to use Nativescript on Windows Phone (and any other platform) is incredibly appealing.
TJ, a core team member, recently posted on the forums about this:
Hey #NezzaGrey,
Thanks for reaching out, and awesome that you’re liking NativeScript :smile:. >Straight to the point though—we’re not actively working on UWP support because >1) it’s a ton of work to add a new platform and commit to supporting that >platform indefinitely, and 2) we’re not seeing nearly enough demand from our >community to justify taking on that work.
That doesn’t mean that UWP support in NativeScript will never happen, but it’s >not coming in the short term because we’re just not seeing the demand. That can >always change though. I’d encourage you to add your use case to the GitHub >issue open for adding UWP support in NativeScript: >https://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript/issues/254. Yes, the issue is >somewhat ancient, but we really do pay attention to well-thought-out comments >during roadmap discussions.
I’ll note two other things. First, our initial work on making a Windows runtime >is completely open source and available on GitHub: >https://github.com/NativeScript/windows-runtime. We’d love to have community >?>help to make the new runtime a reality.
Second, one option you have is to build your iOS and Android apps with >NativeScript and Angular, and to use our code sharing approaches (see ?>https://www.nativescript.org/blog/code-sharing-between-web-and-mobile-with->angular-and-nativescript1) to share your Angular code with other apps. You >could take that approach to share Angular code between your NativeScript apps >and your UWP apps if you use something like Electron. This approach isn’t >ideal, as you’d probably prefer to build a completely native UWP app, but it’s >something to consider if you’re open to using Electron.
Anyways, hopefully you found some of this helpful. If you have any other >questions feel free to follow up.

Mobile App Development
-Native (java,swift)
-Xamarin
-React Native
-ionic
-what else?
...Which should I choose to use in the future and why?
I'm Thai ,Sorry for my language ...Thank U
From my experience (So i might be wrong on some stuff):
-Native (java,swift):
native languages are cool is you have ressources(as employer), like time and money. Because you need 2 programmers to do 1 app on both systems. As programmer, these skills are valuable for your future employer but you (most of the time) can't do both (java and swift)
-Xamarin:
In my opinion, xamarin used to be cool when there was no "hybrid" solutions, it was really better than cordova in terms of performance
-ionic:
I spent a lot of time on ionic and the actual framework is pretty cool, big community etc. But actually, the performances arn't really good. I used Ionic for my prototypes where I didn't need to have a perfect native feel. Plus, Ionic is great if you already know a bit of HTML / CSS / JS. You can do a good app in no time.
-React Native
I switched to react 6 months ago and it's way better than Ionic. At first, the architecture is kinda hard to get but once you to everything is faster. The community grows really fast so does the plugins. The framwork is growing fast and the updates are frequent (about 1 by month) There's also the Expo tool who help's you to build on android and ios painless. The only problem with expo is, you can't use plugins who needs a reack-native link yet. Some of them are implemented over time but there's still some work for that. The Expo team is doing a really good job at giving us a tool that makes our deployements and framwork upgrades painless.
Hope it helps :)
I have been a PHP developer working with Magento for years. I'm now wanting to work on a project that has no ecommerce component, and as such Magento is not a good choice. After browsing online at the other PHP frameworks, Phalcon is touted as the best choice in terms of performance and resource use.
The main drawback I've heard is that because it's programmed C, it's hard to debug any issues that may reside in the framework. Have any PHP developers found this to be a major issue? If so, what debugging tools would you suggest to address such issues?
Thanks for your time in advance.
In short: No.
If you want more info about Phalcon, read on.
I've done http://oisie.com/en with Phalcon+mysql. Now I'm building new software with Phalcon+MongoDB and one Phalcon+Mysql. I'm with Phalcon for more then a year now developing almost every day and I can tell you, there is no such debug issues. At least I haven't had any. Phalcon is very solid framework and works blazing fast. It has all it needs to have. Developing is also very active, they are building new version already and the best part is that there shouldn't be any pain-points with Phalcon while updating it on your machine.
If you like pre-generate folders and files, you should check out this repository on github:
https://github.com/phalcon/phalcon-devtools
I've updated IDE stubs to newest version to get auto-completion working. You can find those here:
https://github.com/phalcon/phalcon-devtools/tree/master/ide
My experience with Phalcon:
Easy updates of framework. Just update your apache's or nginx's module and that's it.
I haven't had any issues after update of framework. Try develop anything with Zend v1.x and update it to 2.x You will have to update a ton of your code.. With Phalcon there is no such problem. I think it's very important in long-term projects.
My IDE is not filled up with 5000+ files of framework, so it works faster while developing.
Phalcon is precompiled, so it's fast because of low I/O and compiling. I saw guys who made server response ±40ms with Symfony, but it was such a challenge for them.. With Phalcon it's just daily stuff. You have 20-60ms response from server without any extra caching layers.
It saves money. Less CPU + less RAM = less $ for servers.
I've tried Zend and Symfony. Also years ago was working with Joomla, Drupal and WordPress. Phalcon is my main framework now and after it and don't want to look back :)
If you are starting up with Phalcon, should find useful things on my github acc: https://github.com/stars/liesislukas
Have fun ;)
P.S.
Phalcon 2 progress: https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon/wiki/Progress-2.0
Phalcon 2 is written with Zephir (language to build apache/nginx extensions): https://github.com/phalcon/zephir
I've tried writing my won extension with Zephir and it's really easy to do :) I never liked C family languages because of it's strict stuff compared to PHP. And Zephir is language, which is familiar to PHP, but you write apache/nginx extension with it. So if you even not using Phalcon framework, but you have some heavy tasks, you can easily write precompiled extension for it. Play with it ;)

I've recently begun evaluating a few project management projects for the company I work for. It's the classic case - growing company looking for the right solution (meaning, free or really cheap). It's a combination shop - Windows, Macs, and Linux on the desktop. The tech savviness, of course, ranges from newbie to unix guru.
I have yet to find anything really close to a total solution. I don't expect to find one, but I am looking for suggestions/guidance/any sort of feedback based on people's experience.
What I'm looking for:
web based
methodology independent (not looking for an agile solution, etc.)
free or really cheap
document management
timelines and milestones
task tracking and assigning
reporting
source control
development wiki
I've looked at Trac, Projectivity, Basecamp, JIRA, RT, XPlanner, and SharedPlan. I've stayed away from Bugzilla due to previous unhappy experiences with it. None of these things really does everything - some are extendable, but I'd check here before going down that path.
Thanks,
Read through Edward Tufte's long-running Ask E.T. topic Project Management Graphics (or Gantt Charts). There is no consensus answer, but a lot of things have been evaluated.

Trac - integration of tickets / wiki / commit-comments is great.
Caveat: installation can be PITA...
Check out Jira Studio. All of Atlassian's apps, hosted for you.
http://www.jira.com/
You get wiki/tracker/svn browser and more.
Have a look at Redmine, it's a Rails app. Haven't used it yet myself, but thinking about moving to it from activecollab. This applications seems to be evolved quite fast last year.
My experience of Jira (with Confluence for the wiki) has been rather good, although it is quite pricey the support people were very responsive and helpful. The place where I used that had svn for version control, and the two played together OK. On the other hand I found Xplanner to be a very odd app - really inflexible if you don't want to be doing XP, and surprisingly documentation-centric for an XP shop.
If you don't mind doing a bit of configuration yourself and have a windows server somewhere in your shop then you could set up your very own customized project management system in SharePoint.
* web based
* methodology independent
* free or really cheap
* document management
* timelines and milestones
* task tracking and assigning
* reporting
* source control
* development wiki
The source control system is not a part of SharePoint so it is really a question whether that requirement is paramount or not. But besides that you will have all of the above for free if you install WSS (comes free with a 2003/2008 server)
There is even a book from O'Reilly about how to set up a PMIS in SharePoint
One solution for the more visual of us would be to use Drupal 6x. with the Project and Subversion (now Version Control) modules. I prefer Joomla with ProjectFork, but until its modded with a repo browser, this will have to do.
Hope this helps.

I looked hard at Alfresco and Joomla.
None met my needs because I wanted the ultimate in simplicity. But, you seem to prefer having the kitchen sink included (while keeping it easy to use, I guess), so either one of these might be right for you.
Currently, I'm throwing together my own using Django, keeping only the project-deadline, forum and file-versioning concepts.
