In PhpStorm, there is a possibility to create Run/Debug Configurations and to run them from IDE. It allows the project participants to share common configurations using a ‘Shared’ flag in the settings. One of such operations is running unit tests in the course of development. Let’s discuss how to fine-tune this process by means of Docker.

In our previous article, we touched on the subject of functionality and usability as the main UX options for the travel website. This time, let’s pay attention to travel site content from the UX point of view. Since there is a growing tendency for betting on not only professional texts, images, or videos, but on what is called user-generated content as well, we will refer to both of them.

Whether you want to launch a new travel site or improve the existing, user experience (UX) is the first thing to consider. Attractive and easy-to-use sites achieve better user behavior metrics, which results in a higher conversion rate. That’s why successful travel agencies pay much attention to UX practices. We have analyzed them and share the most important with you.

There are situations when Symfony needs routing based on subdomains. For example, when we deal with various functional clusters within one project or one repository. Let’s say, when, apart from API, there is an administrative part written in Symfony bundles or some functionality for public access urls from the client-side.

AI has already surpassed humans in many activities requiring thoroughness, accuracy, and patience. Which doesn’t prevent it from stacking up at such elementary things as telling a turtle from a rifle. With the consequences it can have (and sometimes already has: from suspicion of a criminal offense to traffic fatalities), some experts even hesitate whether it is Artificial Intelligence or Artificial Stupidity we should fear more. Why does AI make so weird mistakes and how can it be fixed?

Vibrant showcases, repetitious rows of shelves, enticing muzak, smiling assistants... A precise picture of a shopping paradise, a place where you readily change your cash for 1001 something, as if enchanted by a magic wand of a mighty wizard. Well, it seems no — not anymore. The shopping dream is progressively dematerializing and moving online. Though the money spent on shopping in the net are quite real — according to Statista, in 2017, customers readily splurged online as much as $ 2,3 billion globally.

We are excited to share that recently, Stfalcon.com was recognized as one of the top web and app developers in Ukraine! This distinction comes to us courtesy of Clutch, a B2B ratings and reviews platform.

Today, one may often come across the disputes about the feasibility of applying PHP in the development of IT products and services. There are so many publications (mostly, written in emotions by frustrated programmers) stressing out the drawbacks and limitations of PHP and its frameworks, that, as a business owner or a CIO, you may also start hesitating if PHP is suitable for your project. Is the situation really so bad? And if so, why 83 % of all web services are still being written in PHP? And why is it the choice of Slack, BlaBlaCar, Spotify, and other market leaders?

Initially built for server-side scripting, PHP has become one of the most widely used programming languages. According to WWW Technology Surveys, the share of its use worldwide exceeds 80%. Among PHP advocates are such giants as Slack, Wikipedia, Wordpress, Pinterest, Nvidia, Tumblr and, to some extent, Facebook. The wide range of functions it possesses allow applying this language in almost any area of IT development. That's why companies, from startups to large enterprises, so often choose this programming language when it comes to developing products and services. Let’s have a look at some inspiring examples of what can be done with PHP.

Enterprise resource planning systems (ERP) have become irreplaceable over the last two decades. As at 2017, 81% of organizations were either implementing ERP software or completed implementation. But due to the rapid technological changes, the issue is still pending for many companies. With the inevitability of upgrades, you, as a CEO or CIO may still hesitate if it is better to build your own ERP system or buy a prepackaged solution.
