CakePHP debug in NetBeans
Aug 30th
Debugging code can be the most vital task a developer required to do. Debugging makes it easy to find logical errors in code. NetBeans supports PHP debug using xdebug, but in CakePHP it is hard to make this work straight. This is due to custom, pretty, URL rewriting. However you can enable debugging even with pretty URLs and URL rewriting.

But if you don’t want to mess up with your hard disk, here is a simple way to create a file which serves as a swap partition. More >

Do you want the powerful Unix/Linux shell right on your windows desktop? It is very easy to get it working, just install Cygwin. Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows. It enables you to have most powerful Linux commands and shell programs like bash shell, vim editor, grep, OpenSSH server & client and much more.
After installing Cygwin it will put an icon on your desktop to run the shell. A small tip to access your hard drive partitions is found under the directory /cygdrive/ with every partition found with its name (c, d, …) .

If you wanted to add/remove programs you can use the setup file anytime.
