 | From Angela Bradley, your About Programming Editor Hello Programmers! This week we are looking at how to use if to make choices in PHP. Next we look at Eclipse Indigo, and Cucumber 1.0. Finally we look at how to retrieve a nodelist of all elements of the type we require with JavaScript. Have a great week! | |

| Eclipse Indigo Released
The latest version of Eclipse has been released. Indigo (or if you prefer Eclipse v3.7), is the epic culmination of 62 project teams, 46 million lines of code from 408 committers. It can be downloaded from the Eclipse website in 10 different packages depending on your development needs.
| Get Nodes For A Tag Name
In this second of the DOM "JavaScript Example" we look at the method that the JavaScript DOM provides that allows us to retrieve a nodelist of all elements of the type we require - for example we can retrieve all the paragraphs.
| Cucumber 1.0 Released
Cucumber 1.0 has been released. Cucumber is a tool for making function descriptions as automated texts. In other words you write, in plain english, things like "Given there are 99 widgets and 3 categories, when I search for 'Something,' I should see the following:" It's a useful tool for BDD, and is designed for non-programmers to be part of the process, allowing them to understand what's happening in the tests without knowing how to read Ruby code.
