PHPBuilder.com: Beginning Ajax with PHP From Novice to Professional
by Chris Cornutt September 17, 2007 @ 07:57:00
PHPBuilder has posted an excerpt from an Apress book today - "Beginning Ajax with PHP: From Novice to Professional". It's from the third chapter that introduces the PHP and Ajax combination.
While the concept of Ajax contains a handy set of functionality for creating actions on the fly, if you are not making use of its ability to connect to the server, you are really just using basic JavaScript. Not that there is anything truly wrong with that, but the real power lies in joining the client-side functionality of JavaScript with the server-side processing of the PHP language using the concept of Ajax.
The article's pretty light on the code, but it does give a full example of showing and hiding dynamic content pulled from a backend PHP script (calendar information). Outside of that they just discuss general topics like "Why PHP and Ajax?" and the difference between client-side and server-side processing.

Symfony Project: Book preview read the Unit Tests chapter
by Chris Cornutt January 19, 2007 @ 11:44:00
With unit testing becoming more and more prevalent in development of online applications (especially PHP), it's good to see some of the frameworks giving their users as much information as possible. The symfony project has done just that as a part of a larger book on the framework.
You're probably curious to see if what we wrote in this book is really helpful and practical. So we decided to offer you a sample of the book, in PDF format, and that's precisely Chapter 15 about units and functional tests.

Zend Developer Zone: Book Review Pro PHP XML and Web Services
by Chris Cornutt December 01, 2006 @ 14:38:00
The Zend Developer Zone has posted a new book review of a PHP-related offering from the APress Publishing company - Rob Richards's "Pro Pro PHP XML and Web Services".
Crack the front cover though and you'll soon discover that your new phone-book sized shield contains a lot of useful information. Let's dive into it a bit, shall we?
Cal talks about the contents of the book - all the way from the history of XML out to things like Web APIs, XML-RPC, and REST. He goes through, spotlighting some of the chapters along the way (including those on SimpleXML, syndication, and RSS/Atom formats). There's only one real complaint that Cal has about the book, one that's immediately evident to anyone that sees or holds the book in their hands - the sheer size and quantity of the material covered in the book (almost 1,000 pages).
