On the website you now find a picture of the book in a very prominent place and an extensive recension (German) linked from there. Thanks to Wolfgang from Dynamic-Webpages for choosing the eZ Components book and to Sebastian for digging into it and giving a review from a well-known author. [Read full post…]

Yesterday night I returned from the yearly International PHP Conference in Frankfurt. As usual this was an amazing event, because you get the chance to meet all those people in real live that you usually only talk to by mail and chat. I really like the ambiance in Mörfelden (where the Conference actually is, not far from Frankfurt), but as Lars stated, it's a good thing that IPC is only 4 days, since a lot of community members would need to detox from alcohol afterwards, if it was longer. ;) You see, we had some great party nights, again.

Many many thanks again to Stephan Mattescheck, our lector at Galileo Computing, for his great support and the amazing work of the whole team! [Read full post…]

The new semester has right begun, which basically means that the semester vacation as it was named earlier (now the lesson free time) is over. While that meant a lot of exams and work on the book for Kore and me at first, we had time for some vacation and finally to take care about a brand new eZ Components project: [Read full post…]
A week ago Sebastian pointed out an article on LinuxJournal, which talks about documentation coverage. By the question "Isn't that exactly what tobyS' tool does?" I felt remembered, that I wanted to blog the little tool I wrote for eZ Components a while ago. Since this blurb was lurking in my blog for another week, you get my writings a little more belated.

More than 4 month of intensive planning, writing, coding, correcting, drawing, rephrasing, more writing,... to keep it short: A huge lot of work and much more even than we expected, after so many people told us, that writing a book would be a huge lot of work. Anyway, although writing was hard beside university, normal work, conferences, girl friend, and other commitments, Kore and me managed to have the world wide first eZ Components book in the final correction phases right now! *jump``*`` While Kore already wrote a chapter for a collaborative work, this is the first book for us 2, which we write completly on our own and for me even the first real contribution to a book overall.
