The article looks cool and I was really suprised to see that it became the cover story. :) - eZ Template article Yesterday my new article about the eZ Template component (part of the eZ components since 1.1) was published. The article deals with using the template engine in a real-life example and deals with most of it's great features like automatic output escaping, cycles, template includes and many of the built-in template functions. - My first interview Fullo made an interview with me, during phpDay in Bari, about Open Source, Web 2.0, PHP and eZ. Also it's on the Italian OSSBlog website, it is written in English. - PHPUGDO sponsered by PHP Solutions magazine The PHP Solutions magazine is now sponsoring the PHP Usergroup Dortmund. Thanks to Dariusz Pawlowski, we are receiving some examples of each issue for free now, to be used in the user group. During our meeting yesterday, I opened the first 2 envelopes and we already got 1 example of the past 3 issues, as well as 3 examples of the current issue. The magazine examples will be hosted by Tobias Struckmeier at the eZ Systems GmbH office, so every usergroupy is free to borrow one for some days from there. - The eZ Components tutorial online We finally got a tutorial about eZ components online. I wrote a little example application for that, which realizes a very basic image gallery on basis of the eZ components. It explains how to use a lot of our components in the real world, like Database, PersistentObject, ImageConversion, and some more. You can directly view it online and download it's source code here. Would be great to get some feedback on it! - eZ Components article in php|architect Derick wrote an article about eZ components for the latest issue of php|architect. It deals with the goals for the project as well as architectural decisions that we took while developing this components library. - Reading recommendation Zak Greant (collegue here at eZ and well known in the community) just sent me a great collection of book recommendations related to open source, management and marketing, which I'd like to share here: - PHP is highly addictive Maybe old, but quite funny. :) - A look at package2.xml and how to create a PEAR 1.4 package. I recently gave an overview on what will be new in PEAR 1.4, this time I'd like to start publishing some more detailed info on PEAR 1.4 news. Today's topic is package.xml version 2 and how to create a PEAR 1.4 package. - 1 year of blogging... Ok, let's say nearly, since I missed the exact termin, although I had a big fat note in my cellphone callendar. What do we learn of that? Never switch cellphones and do not migrate tha callendar, because you believe there are no more important notes in it...
