Microsoft Tafiti just released
I'm sure you have already heared of SilverLight before, right? If not: it's Microsoft's answer to Adobe Flash, providing the same features + XAML-like markup + easier databinding + ...

Open XML Developer workshop content
Over the last few months, Doug, Wouter, Brian and lots of other people delivered a series of OpenXML workshops around the globe. Those who were there, and those who weren't, can now download all content of these workshops from OpenXMLdeveloper.org. There are some interesting slideshows available for those of you who never heared about OpenXML before, as well as some nice code samples to get you started developing in C# or Java. As a side note: I also spotted a good article on OpenXML, explaining the Open Packaging Conventions with a self-created file format (based on OpenXML).

PHP zip:// and parse_url...
After having a few months of problems using PHP and fopen('zip://something.xlsx#xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml', 'r'), I finally found the reason of that exact line of code giving errors on some PC's...

Parsing should return the following: Conclusion: beware when using parse_url and the zip file wrapper!

NHibernate 1.2.0 - Unexpected row count: 0; expected: 1
Great... I've been working with NHibernate and MySQL for a while now, without having any strange problems. For a project I'm working on, I'm using SqlClient instead of MySQL now, and strangeness occurs. When I try to Flush() a NHibernate session, here's what is thrown: The problem seems to be a combination of things. First, there's my mapping file: [code:xml] <id name="Hash" column="hash_id" type="String"> <generator class="assigned"/> </id> [/code]

PHPExcel 1.3.5 released
Just a quick note on the new PHPExcel 1.3.5 release. There are some cool new features included! One of the new features is rich text: one can now write coloured and styled text in a cell. Here's an example of how the feature demo result file looks: This is of course not all. Jakub had a couple of sleepless nights, but managed to port in the PEAR Spreadsheet classes. Meaningless? No! PHPExcel now supports Excel2007 and older versions, too. Want to write an Excel document for Excel200? No problem: [code:c#] $objWriter = new PHPExcel_Writer_Excel5($objPHPExcel);$objWriter->save('excel2000file.xls');
