The PATH is an important concept when working on the command line. It's a list of directories that tell your operating system where to look for programs, so that you can just write script instead of /home/me/bin/script or C:\Users\Me\bin\script. But different operating systems have different ways to add a new directory to it:

Windows

1. The first step depends which version of Windows you're using:

• If you're using Windows 8 or 10, press the Windows key, then search for and

General Tip

"The trick is to catch exceptions at the proper layer, where your program can either meaningfully recover from the exception and continue without causing further errors, or provide the user with specific information, including instructions on how to recover from the error. When it is not practical for a method to do either of these, simply let the exception go so it can be caught later on and handled at the appropriate level."

Quick doesn't have to mean dirty: Also applies to PHP!

This is just a quick response to http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/07/28/quick-doesnt-mean-dirty/. I won't bother to write a proper blog post for this, so a Gist will have to do ;)

When I read that article, one thing really striked me: If you want to quickly create a web app in PHP, you do exactly the same. I mean, exactly.

I never used the Silex microframework before, so I took this as a chance to see how it works. I'll just do the same as eevee did, only with a bit less commentary (this is a Gist after all!)

I hope that this will show you that PHP and Python are really similar to work with. Also this should show that just because you're using PHP, doesn't mean that you write dirty code. The similarity in the process and code is really incredible :)
