Learning PHP Now ;)

By -
I am learning PHP now. Here is a basic tutorial on PHP.

What all do you need to learn PHP?
1.       I am using XAMPP server : https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html
Check the video on how to install XAMPP from the site.
2.       That’s it! Yes. If you install XAMPP Server for development, that’s all you need. It allows you to select all that you want to install : PHP, Perl, MySql etc. Easy to install and use.

Assumptions for the tutorial:
1.       The installation directory for XAMPP is C:\xampp
2.       You have basic HTML Knowledge
3.       Other assumptions will be added as I come across them :D

Starting you XAMPP:
If you have checked the video on XAMPP Site, you probably have already started XAMPP and MySql Server.

If you get error like:
www.example.com:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name
Restart xampp-control using admin user. 

Your first php application can be a really simple one. I always print “Hello World” in the 1st program I learn of any language. So lets start:


Save the file as phpProgram.php.
Where to save?
Inside C:\xampp\htdocs, create folder “tutorials”. Save it there.

Output:
Hit the URL in browser:
http://localhost/tutorials/phpProgram.php

First php program is ready!

Writing your own ejabberd Module

By -
Coming soon: What is ejabberd? What is erlang? Installation details. I will start with writing the ejabberd module first. Once you have done all the installations: sudo make sudo make install sudo ejabberdctl start sudo ejabberdctl stop You can check the status using: sudo ejabberdctl status You can locate logs at: (With default installation) /var/log/ejabberd All config related changes will be mainly done at: /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.yml You will need a basic understanding of erlang. You can take a short crash course at: http://www.erlang.org/course/course.html This is a good reference. Go to your ejabberd-15.07/src directory. This is where you will write the hook for your ejabberd server. Create a file, say mod_changeBody.erl. Your module name and file name should be same. Add the following basic contents into your erl file: -module(mod_changeBody). -behavior(gen_mod). -include("ejabberd.hrl"). -include("logger.hrl"). -expo

Conditional Flow - Spring Batch Part 6

By -
Jump to Conditional Flow using Custom Status There can be muliple scenario where you want your jobs to proceed depending on the outcome of your steps. For example, in case of our Corporate gifts shop, in case the automatic packaging of the gifts fails, we want some manual intervention to be done i.e. somebody should manually package the item.  IF-ELSE IF loop for packaging:     if packageStep fails                              then manualPackageStep                         else if packageStep executes successfully                              then sendOutForDelivery Entire code available at git repo:   https://github.com/ricsr/spring-batch-demo/tree/exercise_06 Using SpringBatch you can achieve it as follows: Create you manualPackageStep, which is very similar to your packageStep, except that it does the packaging manually. @Bean public Step manualPackageStep () { return this . stepBuilderFactory .get( "manualPackageStep" ).tasklet( new Tasklet() { @Override pu
