Making a Rock-Paper-Scissors game Multiplayer
Multiplayer features require networking capabilities of some sort, and typically, a form of persistent data storage (i.e. to save things like “Leaderboards” to keep track of Wins/Losses/Draws in the case of our RPS game).

- Integrate PHP based SOAP RPS game server in another language, JAVA desktop GUI
Now that we have a Web Service ready to consume (even though it is SOAP based), it should be pretty easy to extend to Java, which also means it should be possible with a little bit of effort to create a Desktop GUI.
For more on creating a Java-based SOAP server to have an all-Java version... - Exposing your PHP Rock Paper Scissors game via SOAP Web Services
So why SOAP? Well quite simply this was what I used back when I was first working through PHP and learning the hard way how to expose some server-side "business logic" as a Web Service. This was over a decade ago (late 2006 through 2007), and Google's SOAP Search API had yet to be phased...
- Moving a command-line PHP Rock Paper Scissors game to the Browser
In the first part we saw an example for creating a PHP Rock Paper Scissors game that waits for user input via the command-line and then evaluates the output of the game. Next we see an example for porting our basic command-line PHP Rock Paper Scissors game to the browser to reach a broader audience,...
- Creating a basic Rock Paper Scissors game in PHP
This tutorial will outline the creation of a very basic game I created a long time ago in PHP for the purpose of learning some basic concepts around inputs/outputs from the command-line, decision trees (nested "if-elseif-else" type statements) and variability in PHP's presentation layer. I thought I'd dust this one off in particular to emphasize...
- E-Commerce Shopping Cart in JavaScript and PHP
In E-Commerce, a "frictionless experience" is often described as the ultimate design goal when it comes to the consumer's purchasing experience. An easy-to-use, robust shopping cart solution that can easily have any number of diverse types of items added to it, calculate shipping & handling, taxes and any other additional fees (where such apply), provides... - Working with LimeSurvey’s RemoteControl2 JSON-RPC API in PHP
Recently, I needed to switch away from SurveyMonkey, which, while still a useful free service for quickly collecting some basic Survey results, leaves much to be desired in terms of what they offer in their basic version. Of course the fully paid versions offer significantly more functionality, but the upper-end of the pricing schemes that... - Will the real Developers please stand up!
In my industry of IT (and indeed all Technology jobs in general), it is extremely easy to develop unhealthy and border-line self-destructive habits. From staring at a screen for too long to bad posture slouching over a keyboard, and from tendonitis in the wrist due to bad hand/wrist joint alignment to forgetting to stand up... - HTML5 Radio Tuner (powered by ShoutCast API)
Since I wrote about Skeumorphs last month, I thought I'd include this piece I had worked on. This is an older idea I had that I'd done the initial design for but forgot (ahem... procrastinated) to do the coding for back when I had the idea. The general concept was to replicate the look of... - The Getting Started in JAVA Guide (That I Wish I Had In University)

The Java programming language is one of the most widely used and widely supported programming languages in the world (in terms of total number of devices and systems running it). Since its inception, it has also been the subject of several major lawsuits (i.e. Oracle .vs. Google, Google .vs. Oracle countersuit, US Gov .vs. Microsoft,... - Parser for XMLTV format and SchedulesDirect data
For a long time now, I've been a paying customer of SchedulesDirect, and by that token their parent company Zap2it (now a Tribune Media Services company).

BC$ = Behavior, Content, Money
The goal of the BC$ project is to raise awareness and make changes with respect to the three pillars of information freedom - Behavior (pursuit of interests and passions), Content (sharing/exchanging ideas in various formats), Money (fairness and accessibility) - bringing to light the fact that:
1. We regularly hand over our browser histories, search histories and daily online activities to companies that want our money, or, to benefit from our use of their services with lucrative ad deals or sales of personal information.
2. We create and/or consume interesting content on their services, but we aren't adequately rewarded for our creative efforts or loyalty.
3. We pay money to be connected online (and possibly also over mobile), yet we lose both time and money by allowing companies to market to us with unsolicited advertisements, irrelevant product offers and unfairly structured service pricing plans.
