Programming Conventions

Hey,

Did you ever had a look at the CakePHP Conventions? I use CakePHP also to have the same directory structure in all of my projects, but it would be much more readable if you write your code using these conventions. What do you think about conventions like this? How do you bring structure to your projects?

Also, I'm looking for the best way to use Trac and Subversion in my projects. Does anyone have any tips? Is it possible to export a SVN repository to an FTP location?

Build a photo gallery with CakePHP and Flickr

This is a nice howto from Jonathan Snook on building a photogallery with CakePHP and Flickr.

New layout

Hey, I'm back with a new layout. I hope to write some posts soon, so keep watching this site. Also, I am looking for something combining twitter and this weblog. For example, when I write this, I want my twitter feed to be updated... guess I have to write something myself.
