Business Agility

Business agility is nothing but having that ability or say flexibility in your application /softwares or products which can efficiently respond to the frequently changing needs of a client or customers.
Its all about moving to coupling from hardwinding. Its about planning all way around, making up a proper strategy, thinking proactively and incorporate innovation in your work.
Business strategy, BPM () Business process management and SOA (Service oriented application)is all that's demand of time, keeping in view the smart and less job for coder, lesser maintenance and obivously lesser time for implementation.
One biggest challenge what i felt is by now (with whatever little experience I had in industry and also from the life.)
Never Tempt yourself to diverge from the standards try it at least because once you see the code running without even following the standards you simply get in the hold of bad habit.
yeah, obviously you will get back to following standard but I am sure that will be only when you would have faced enough damage so better as naive start following standards.
Documentation and Reporting, these two things are really I have felt these two are badly missing in the industries. specially in the start ups. They should follow all these standards, because very easily they miss it very badly when they start really growing in terms of projects and people.

My First Project in Symfony

First of all I installed wamp server 2.0 on my machine.

Its easy http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php

download the file from here. and then run it as you install any other program.

Next thing to do is- php -V

check php version.

you may get a message that your machine is not able to recognize this command name as php.

so the solution is add environment variable.

right click on mycomputer-> properties-> advanced-> environment variable -> edit.

in the tmp- > use the path C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0. append this using a semicolon after the given path.

then its time to install pear on your machine

its as simple as that - go to C:\wamp\bin\php and just execute the go-pear.bat file.

But when i did it, it gave me an error, may be thats the less compatibility issue of PEAR.

so i found a magic command- that will do u a trick -

this command is -

php.exe -d phar.require_hash=0 go-pear.phar

once you will run it no!!

it will install pear on your machine.

all you will have to do it -

either pressing 'enter' to continue or

typing a 'y' to say a yes for the installation of the files.

now you may feel a problem may be executing your pear command.

same - go and set the environment variable- C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.0\pear\, append this in the tmp with along with a semicolon.

Next comes the installation of symfony on your machine

why i preferred symfony installation over pear is - because it lets you explore and understand the real offerings of symfony. also leaves you with a lot many options.

One thing- that i learnt today - if you dont want to use name 'localhost' for- 127.0.0.1 then just go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts\ and change the name in the last line of the file.

hurrey, Now access your application with the name of your choice!! :)
