How to become fit with your iPhone?

I guess not many people nowadays may boast of perfect shape. We all work hard the whole week, sometimes even have to do overwork, so having some spare time in the evening or at the weekends we prefer to spend them sitting quietly in the armchair watching favorite TV shows. But that’s not the best thing we may do for your health and body. Sitting all day long in front of computer we just need to do some physical activities in breaks. I don’t find it difficult, vice versa, doing exercises may be really relaxing and funny. How does it work? I’m just using iphone pedometer, a new application by Viaden Mobile while training.

The app works together with me, while I do jogging, or just walking on a treadmill. It counts the distance I’ve covered and the number of calories I’ve burnt, plus it even offers me a body tracker, that allows to see what activity was the most efficient. So now I’m a trainer for myself, every day I see the results of my work and set goals for next one. In fact it’s really stimulating and encouraging!

Symfony in short

Symfony is a framework with the open code written completely on PHP5. This framework allows creating more structural readable code and simplifies programming if for no other reason than the set of complicated operations can often be replaced with one line of the code.   

Symfony is based on the idea of MVC pattern and is developed for rapid web application development. The framework includes numerous tools and sets of classes whose main aim is to reduce the time for developing complex web applications. Also symfony automates the most popular and often used tasks, which allows web developers pay more attention to the peculiarities of the certain project.

The framework has been used a lot in many projects, for example, Yahoo! Bookmarks. Symfony is compatible with many databases (including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server).
