About Programming: Calculate Easter, What is Markup Language?

If you can't see this email, click here

Programming From Angela Bradley, your About Programming Editor Dear Subscriber, Welcome to this week's edition of your About Programming Newsletter. This week we look at how to calculate Easter day using PHP. We also look at what a markup language is, as well as iterating over strings, and a new Java update. Have a great week! When is Easter? As spring grows closer, you may be wondering to yourself, when is Easter this year? Unlike most holidays, the date for Easter changes every year so that it is always on a Sunday. Fortunately there is a solution. The Easter_date () function can return the timestamp for Easter in any year you specify. Once you have this information it is easy to mark it on your virtual calendar. See More About:  php calendars  finding dates in php  php functions What is a Markup Language? Once you get started in the business of web development, you will start being surrounded by a lot of abbreviations, and many of those abbreviations will include "ML" in them. And ML stands for "markup language." But what is a markup language? Iterating Over Strings How do you iterate over a string? Easy, just iterate over each byte, right? It's not quite that easy, Unicode complicates this. Ruby's default encoding is UTF-8, which means most, but not all, characters will be 8 bits wide. But don't worry, Ruby makes it simple. Java 7 Update 3 Released Java 7 Update 3 has been released and is available to download from Oracle's download page. If you look at the release notes you'll see this is mainly a security fix release.
