A Closer Look Into Php Arrays
“PHP is one unique language where the array data type has been highly generalized to suit a very broad set of use cases. For example, in PHP you can use an array to create both ordered lists as well as dicts (key/value pairs or maps) with a single data type. A PHP array isn’t an array in the traditional sense, but in fact it’s actually implemented as an ordered hashmap. There are good reasons for this. One of those reasons is that arrays traditionally do not allow you to mix types. They also don’t normally provide a simple means of random access such as mapping a key to it’s value. At least not in the sense that we’re used to doing in PHP. So I’m going to share with you some of the underlying details of how the PHP array data type works, why it works the way that it does, how it’s different from other languages, and what behaviors the PHP array has that you may not be fully aware of… (article continues via the link below)”
An Advanced Guide To Html Css

An Introduction To Graphviz
If you are not familiar with Graphviz, it is an excellent open source graph visualization tool that utilizes a “dot” language as specification for the generation of graphs. These “dot” files can be created manually or programmatically, thereby making Graphviz a very powerful tool. This article provides a good introduction on Graphviz and how to get started with using it. The author starts at the very beginning by explaining how to install the software and ends up with walking you through creating a few somewhat advanced “dot” file specified graphs.
