Yii and Authorization Rules (RBAC)

One thing that has recently puzzled me with my discoveries of the Yii PHP framework is to do with how authentication rules work. (In particular RBAC)

jQuery Scrolling Box

I am currently working on a website that requires some scrollable elements on it. The design specification is to do away with the scroll bars to allow for a better more simplistic design. Now I remember this being done in the past in flash, but I wasn’t going to be using flash. So naturally I went out to find a jQuery solution. In most cases doing a google search or stackoverflow search finds some code that needs some tweaking and then away we go, but this time I couldn’t find anything! So I created my own and thought I would share it.

Web Development

I am currently really enjoying working at Bigwig wired in Adelaide doing web development for them. I really enjoy working with a team of designers and then turning the designs into reality and integrating them into CMS’ for clients.

Codeigniter and Netbeans

I have recently stumbled on some really awesome tools, Code Igniter and Netbeans IDE for PHP development. I’ve used eclipse for Java development through uni and found it really great. After finishing that I found that using eclipse for PHP just was too slow and didn’t have the right tools for the job.
