Giorgio Sironi has posted his quite impressive list of articles he's published on the DZone.com site to his blog today. They cover a wide range of topics - everything from refactoring to design patterns out to, well, lots of other random topics.

From 2010 to the end of 2013 I have written a few articles each week on DZone. Here is the full list as a reference.

Some of the posts fall into different "series" categories including "Practical PHP Patterns", "Practical PHP Refactoring", "Practical PHP Testing Patterns" and "Lean Tools". There's some great content here - and lots of it - so be sure to check out the list and see if there's anything that catches your eye!

Unit testing fans will be happy to know that a Refcard from DZone has been published (authored by Giorgio Sironi) so you can keep PHPUnit at your fingertips.

Do you occasionally forget the syntax for creating Mocks and Stubs in PHPUnit? Or wonder how a command line option work? Or if there is an assertion that may be perfect for the test you're writing? Then this Refcard can help you. The Refcard is a PDF cheatsheet of 6 pages, which interleaves code samples with explaining test and sample outputs. Getting to know PHPUnit to use it at its full potential will be a little easier now.

You can check out the contents of the refcard on the DZone site or download a PDF to make it all your own.

On DZone.com today there's a new interview by Lyndsey Clevesy with Jason Gilmore looking at the Zend Framework and some of the general things to expect in coming versions.

This week's DZone Refcard is about Getting Started with the Zend Framework. The card introduces you to the basics of the Zend Framework and sets you on the path to creating your first project. I met the author, Jason Gilmore, to find out more about the topic.

They talk about some of what the framework currently has to offer developers, what kind of involvement he's had with it, who it supports as far as advanced PHP features and what's to come in version 2.0. The Zend Framework RefCard mentioned can be viewed or downloaded here - a six-page quick reference for some of the more common Zend Framework tasks.
