PHP Weekly Reader – March 30th 2008
I have been doing some research on build tools this last week, and was hoping some new articles would crop up that were related so I could accomplish two things at once, write my weekly review and learn about new tools, unfortunately that didn't happen.
PHP Weekly Reader – March 23th 2008
I'm a little late with the Weekly Reader, I spent some time with my family on Sunday and a hectic day at work on Monday. Luckily there wasn't much going on in my reader this last week that just had to be here, so this will be short otherwise it won't make it out before next weeks review.

PHP Weekly Reader – March 16th 2008
I spend way too much time reading blogs, surfing PHP and web development articles online. I resolve to cut back but things just sneak back into my reader somehow, and believe me dzone doesn't help. But I've came up with a way to justify all that time, I call it research.
I thought I'd share a bit of this research so every Sunday night you will find a bit of commentary and a lot of links to things I found interesting in the PHP world over the previous week. Personally I like articles with code so you might see a lot of how-to links, and I don't much care who is going to what unconference, conference, camp or meet-up so I won't be tracking anyones itinerary. If you think I missed something let me know, really I hate missing out on new articles.
Clever Design meets TDD
I've been working on my own PHP framework for a while now. I use it as a scratch pad to try out new concepts. I recently decided that I wanted to make some architectural changes that I thought were super clever (yes I know super clever is nearly always too clever), things that would save me tons of tedious programming, free my mind from all the mundane details that I detest, maybe make toast. The inspiration was so intense that I made my changes first then thought about testing.
