Sample Application use Smarty: Guestbook – Part 1
This is an example of a full working PHP application using Smarty. The purpose of this example is to demonstrate how Smarty ties in with an application and how to separate your presentation. The example given is a fairly simple yet complete mini-framework for building Smarty driven applications quickly and easily. Once you understand the concepts of presentation separation, you should be able to apply them to any type of programming pattern. With that said, you may use the following code at your own discretion, and at your own risk.
You can download the source of this Sample Application here.
This is not a guide on how to setup Apache, PEAR or MySQL. Be sure you know these things or have handy references to them. If you are using alternatives, you will need to make appropriate adjustments in the code.
We will be building a guestbook where users can sign it or view it. There is no administration interface. We will be covering a few programming topics that involve Smarty such as form processing and database data retrieval and display.

More arrested related to black web
Members who “positively developed” a porn-webpage which is said the largest of its kind in Vietnam, mocxi.com, were arrested in the past few days.
According to police, at least two more were arrested on November 18, raising the number to 15. These people are defined as members who “positively developed” this porn site.
mocxi.com was existing for several years in the name of a “forum educating young people healthy sexual life”. However, a huge volume of pornographic pictures and articles were updated on this site.
From over 90,000 members in early 2007, this website had up to 289,303 members by early November 2008. By the time it was closed, the site had more than 1.6 milllion entries and pictures about sex.
According to alexa.com, by November 16, mocxi.com ranked the 84th of the top 100 popular websites in Vietnam. Previously, it sometimes ranked at higher positions than some reputed online newspapers.

Yahoo opens resources for Vietnamese programmers
Chang Sau Sheong, Technical Director of Yahoo Southeast Asia, said the opening of resources is a global trend that all big technology groups in the world are pursuing.
Yahoo on Wednesday introduced more than 250,000 application programming interfaces (API) for the community of Vietnamese programmers.
These resources can be downloaded from the Yahoo! Developer Network (YDN). These are valuable online sources of information about web services, API, design models, source codes, and related documents of Yahoo.
Most of them are provided free. Vietnamese network and search engine developers can use the available resources offered by Yahoo to design their applications. However, Yahoo may ask for a share of profit from commercial products.
The opening of its resources to Vietnam is part of Yahoo’s Open Strategy, one of the group’s global reform plans. Accordingly, developers can combine Yahoo with the “best applications” of other networks.

Tester xuất sắc phải là tay chuyên “lạng lách”. “Lạng lách” là ở chỗ: ai cũng có thể làm theo danh sách dài dằng dặc những test cases có đầy rẫy trong các sách dạy testing, nhưng tester xuất sắc lại có thể đi xa hơn cả cái danh sách này, và với tới một seri bất tận những phương pháp xương xẩu để acttack một chương trình.
Tester xuất sắc thường được giới developers phán là “đáng ớn” và “chập cheng”!
