When I compose a newsletter, I look at my well of possible materials–questions, links, blog posts, etc., and try to come up with a theme, if at all possible. When looking at these this time around, the ones that seemed most worth sharing immediately all focus on, well, me. For example, there’s the presentation I gave to Boston PHP: you can view the slides and the raw video of it. Or there are some articles that I’ve published online that you might like. And there’s the status on “The Yii Book”.

So this newsletter is far more me-centric than most, but hopefully it’ll be of use to you still. Because, presumably, you subscribed to this newsletter in the first place because you were interested in what I’m doing, thinking, interested in, and so forth.

Also, if you do have something you’d like me to write about, address, or answer in future newsletters, now is a good time to send that in, as my well of topics is getting shallow. I think my next newsletter is going to be on goals, if you have any thoughts or questions along those lines (e.g., technologies to learn, ways to learn, etc.). I’ve also got an upcoming newsletter planned on public speaking.

And, as always, thanks for your interest in what I have to say and do!

I just submitted the last chapter of the third edition of my PHP Advanced book, now titled “PHP Advanced and Object-Oriented Programming: Visual QuickPro Guide.” I still need to perform the rewrites, but as I’m good with page counts (for once), I think the table of contents is fairly solid (shown after the break).

The book is written for intermediate PHP and Web developers, and covers a range of topics to further extend what you know into more real-world, complex situations. I believe it’ll be available in September. Amazon currently has it for $30.81.
