One of those, is the fact that I can be using PHP 5.3 and all the new features that come with PHP 5.3. While I’ve used my fair share of the short-cut ternary already (?:), the bigger win for me, are the Lambda funct
I am halfway through reading Growing object-oriented software, guided by tests, a book that teaches Test-Driven Development in a Java environment. A review will come soon, since the process described in this work is really language-agnostic and interesting also for php developers.

I've been writing a book about the Zend Framework recently - I'm sure some of you have noticed . A while back I finished a draft of two chapters called "The Architecture of Zend Framework Applications" and "Understanding The Zend Framework". The first chapter is an exploration of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern and why it has become the defacto standard for adoption in web a
Many articles that present methods to make WordPress load faster, recommend efficient solutions like having css and javascript files minified and merged, using CSS sprites and caching.

I’m reinvestigating Doctrine and Zend Framework for a new project. I’d dismissed them last year as not meeting my needs, but am giving it another go this year. I have to say I’ve got mixed impressions at best, as there seems to be little in the way of documentation with real use cases.
