This is always a bit of a hot topic, especially amongst teams just getting ready to start properly managing their code through remote repositories. Disclaimer: I’m only going to talk about GitHub and BitBucket in this article. If your code is your bread and butter, your only offering; you probably should consider hosting your repositories yourself. I’m also sticking with these two as they’re the most widely adopted. When should I use GitHub? GitHub can be found at github.com – shameless plug, my user on there is @johnothecoder Short answer: For anything/everything open source, or where you’d hope for community…

A quick couple of points to note: C# is a strictly typed language, that means you have to know about what your variables are going to be, and yes, you have to declare them somewhere sensible Accessing methods and properties within your class does not require usage of $this – you’re talking about true scope of variables…
Leave a CommentHi everyone So I’ve been using content management systems on and off for the best part of 10 years. From the by-gone days of PHP Nuke and when content management systems like PHP Fusion were all the rage. To using more modern, and definitely more widely adopted systems like Joomla and, of course, WordPress; and just to throw other open source stuff into the mix, platforms like Moodle. Now I’ve returned to using WordPress on a daily basis, but from a different perspective; I don’t do too much development on WordPress personally; my skill set generally lies in building things on frameworks…
