Labels used by this publication

This is a summary of the types of labels used by this publication. The term label can also be referred to as a tag and the two terms are used interchangeably.

The types of labels are defined as the following:

Language (technology)
Development application (IDE, database manager client, et cetera)
Protocol (FTP, LDAP, et cetera)
Browser
Concept (OOP, refactoring, continuous integration)

Examples of tags might be: PHP, ColdFusion, or MySQL, where PHP and ColdFusion are development languages and MySQL is a database manager. Command line tools like Git would also have a tag.

Labels that are not used are ones that refer to specific products or companies such as: IBM, Gmail, or Flickr.

These distinctions are made for two reasons. The first is to stress the emphasis of the publication on development. The second is to help limit the volume of tags that would certainly build up and thereby just create noise in the tagging mechanism.

PHP built-in webserver and IPv6 addresses

Though it's difficult to confirm around the Web, it appears as though the IP address scheme the built-in PHP server uses depends on the host name that's provided. If a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) is used, such as server.domain.tld, then the built-in server will be listening for IPv6 based requests. If the server is started with an IPv4 address identified as the host, then it will naturally listen for IPv4 based requests. The closest to anything official around the Web was a comment in the PHP docs that only seeded this conclusion, at best. But here it is in any case.

HP webOS interface kudos

UPDATED 06/07/2013 Pandora no-longer makes the webOS version of its player available. While quite obviously a piece rooted in opinion, a subtle nod is offered to Palm for the excellent interface work it did with webOS . Since it’s initial release with Sprint in June 2009, Palm quickly slipped into relative oblivion. With the recent purchase of the company by HP coupled with new product releases set for the summer, webOS may become relevant once again. If so, then perhaps a whole new lot of users will come to appreciate the consideration that was taken with the webOS user interface (UI). An example is the popular webOS application for the even more popular Pandora Internet radio service. And as it turns out, the company has a collection of screen captures for the various mobile platforms that have native applications for the service. This happens to double as a quick way to compare the interface elements of other platforms by using the same applic...

Allow Windows authentication using SQL Server driver with DBeaver

DBeaver will allow Microsoft Windows single sign on access when connecting to Microsoft SQL Server using the SQL Server driver (rather than jTDS ). From the driver properties settings, set the integratedSecurity flag to true . Open the Connection configuration panel and choose the Driver properties section. Set the integratedSecurity flag to true . A subtle, but important step is to not provide username and password credentials to the connection.
