Finally I started exploring Symfony because Drupal 8 (the biggest things ever happened to Drupal community) uses a few components of Symfony. So I thought instead having a vague idea why don’t dedicate this month in exploring Symfony and get an idea of the base on which Drupal 8 is built.

Vagrant Up your Drupal Development
Vagrant is around for quite a time now and people prefer to work on virtual machine running locally for a faster performance. But I personally despise working on a Virtual Box mainly because it is a big pain setting it up for each project and if something screws up do it all over again. Though the performance was really shooting sky when I ran a Drupal project running in a Virtual Box. But Vagrant made my life easier. And with PuPHPet, well it is just a cherry on top.
Give commands to your Ubuntu system in your own way.
Ubuntu is great for someone who wants to control his system like the way he wants. But that requires someone like Yoda to master it. Though there are some things which can be done easily. One of such things is the commands that we use in Terminal.
Connecting to a Microsoft SQL Server Database from PHP in Ubuntu.
To use the MSSQL extension on Unix/Linux, you first need to build and install the FreeTDS library.
I am assuming we got this:
- A Microsoft SQL Server installation running under Windows.
- Ubuntu Linux. I am using 14.04 LTS
