Bangladeshi techie coauthors PHP book
BANGLADESH has some good programmers, software and web developers,
who have proved their capabilities time and again.
This very fact will be re-established by the end of this month when
the book 'Smarty PHP Template Programming and Applications' is
released worldwide.
Lucian Gheorghe, a Romanian, Joao Prado, an American, and Hasin
Hayder, a Bangladeshi, have written the book.
"The book is a step by step guide that will aid aspiring individuals
toward building PHP websites and applications using the Smarty
template engine. It will be an extreme help to PHP developers
worldwide," Hayder told Star Tech.
He explained that Smarty, a template engine, is a highly effective
tool that can bridge the gap between web designers and programmers.
"Smarty uses both templates and coding. As such designers and
programmers would never be at a conflict," he explained.
He further discussed that unknown to most programmers, Smarty is a
very useful engine with which the codes can be debugged quite easily.
Hayder wrote three of the important chapters in the book.
"I began writing for the book in October 2005 and the overall work
was completed by the beginning of this year," he said.
Packt, a UK-based publisher, is taking online pre-orders for the book
at its site www.packtpub.com at Â19.99, while the cover price is
Â24.99.
Hayder is currently working on another book on 'Wordpress' -- an open
source blog engine. "Hopefully this will be released by October
2006," he informed.
Hayder graduated from the department of civil engineering at Rajshahi
University of Engineering and Technology (Ruet). He is currently
serving as the web application developer at Somewhere In, an IT firm.
He is also the administrator of PHP Experts, the largest PHP users
group in Bangladesh, and maintains the open source framework at
zephyr-php/sourceforge.net
