Gizmodo published those stories last week, creating a minor uproar on the internet. I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This entry isn&#8217;t about PHP. It&#8217;s about where those of us who develop for a living, PHP or otherwise, see ourselves in the future. From time to time I do some soul searching and think about where I&#8217;ve been and where I&#8217;m going. With a tough few months in the books, I wanted to take [...]]]></description>

But yet, why are so many companies out there still not using source control in their projects? A good number of companies that I&#8217;ve worked with failed to make use of [...]]]></description>

The measure of good marketing, of course, is not hard to identify: it&#8217;s how effectively your marketing translates into sales.
