I’ve just installed the Drupal Editor app for Android and this is my first ’test post’ if you will. It’s quite a simple app that connects to your Drupal site through the core blog api module. It then shows a list of all Drupal blogs and allows you to view, edit or delete the posts. You can also post new entries and assign taxonomy terms to them. It’s simple and gets the job done! ...
For some reason, even though I have the PHP Development Tools (PDT) installed in Aptana Studio (2.0), I’m not able to select ‘PHP nature’ in the ‘Project natures’ of an imported project. I can start a new PHP Project which will have the ‘PHP nature’ selected as primary nature, but this doesn’t even appear as an option in imported projects.

I was recently sent a copy of a book from Packt Publishing to read and review called CodeIgniter 1.7 by Jose Argudo Blanco and David Upton. I’ll be interested to see how the book compares to what I’ve learnt so far about CodeIgniter (>1 years experience CodeIgniter and >4 years php) and see what else it can offer, especially in terms of planning and managing application projects. The description on the Packt Publishing website says: ...
