This is a forward mail from my bro Bittu Bhai Zee AKA Ankur Sharma, he holds a diploma in French as well as German Language and is a Software professional currently at U of the K serving the Queen.

The European Commission has just announced that English will be the preferred official language of the European Union. German, which was the other possibility, narrowly missed out.

 During negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as “Euro-English”.  In the first year, “s” will replace the soft “c”. Sertainly this will make sivil servants jump with joy. The hard “c” will be dropped in favour of “k”. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome “ph” will be replaced with “f”. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter. 

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.  Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. 

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent “e” in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer pepl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing “th” with “z” and “w” with “v”.

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary “o” kan be dropd from vords kontaining “ou” and after zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und after zis fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German; lik zey vunted in ze forst plas.

I just discovered its easy enough to do hello world in CakePHP. Read more

OOPS is easy to understand and is most confusing concept. When I interview I usually ask my favorite question, real world example of polymorphism. I have met just one or two candidates who came up with an answer. Today was the day I met another candidate. As usual, I was expecting a formal or a normal reply. But…

Me: Can you give me a real world example of polymorphism?
Candidate: I can say I am an example of polymorphism, yes I am an example of polymorphism, you see, I am a son for my parents, am a nephew and of course am a boyfriend for my girlfriend…

Why the hell he he stressed upon his being a boyfriend. Showoff?

Ever tried to do 2+NULL and got NULL in response? Or tried to concatenate Hello World with NULL and again got NULL?
