So Its another weekend and I find myself battling it out with the Zend PHP framework. This has got to be the worse experience I have had using it, maybe I have been a bit too zealous seeking its wide adoption at my workplace. The fit is not yet over however. I still think I will pull off what I am trying to build with it. I need to, so I can present it to my group at work.
I did some more reading on google gears today and also am thinking that I might have been too anxious and giddy about seeing its wide adoption as well. It seems we might be a ways off from seeing a fully adopted standard towards offline browsing. I can cross my fingers and hope though. What was discouraging was that most of the nifty features in google gears like worker pools and local server caching were not available in the beta download. I had to get the development version from the project repository to get those working. Not very encouraging, but after I got that I still managed to like what I saw.
Google checkout was among the things I did some research on. I had in my mind started thinking about mobile applications that scanned RFID tagged goods that could suggest you purchase them online at cheaper costs. Such applications would then ask you to pay. I thought it would be cool if you didnt have to fill out any payment information but could just click a button to purchase and then I remembered that the google checkout project is aiming at doing just that. It seems someone is a step ahead of me.
