Best of 2008
December 30, 2008 – 2:36 pmSince the year is about to end, I think now is a good time to highlight some best things of 2008
Top CodeUtopia blog posts of 2008
These are the most visited posts in this blog, since January 1 2008, according to Google Analytics:
- Quick introduction to using Zend_Layout
- Introduction to Zend_Layout (updated for ZF 1.5!)
- Routing and complex URLs in Zend Framework
- Doctrine VS. Propel
- Summing up Smarty and Zend_View
The NetBeans 6.5 review gets an honorable mention. It reached the 8th most visited post this year, despite only being about a month old! For comparison, the #1 post was published in November 2007.
Other good 2008 things
Here are some other highlights of 2008, in no particular order
- NetBeans 6.5
- Fallout 3
- Detroit Metal City
- My car
- HTC Touch Diamond
I was also thinking about mentioning the best new music release of 2008… but since I don’t find myself listening to any specific album from 2008 more often than something not from 2008, I guess there weren’t any that good releases this year. Oh well.

Fallout 3 is the best game ever! Period. IMO it should be honoured as the best game of this decade or century

Hi Jani,
It’s curious to loopback 2008 and have the opportunity to look at Doctrine x Propel post again.
Since March, we worked A LOT on Doctrine, and 1.1 we optimized the Hydration process in around 60%. We closed hundreds of tickets too… since september we launched version 1.0, which is enough stable to production usage.
I hope 2009 becomes even better with Doctrine 2.0 (scheduled for september 1st!).
Regards,
