The php|architect team has officially announced the latest in their PHP training offerings to the public - a full classroom training session in the Chicago area - PHP Full Immersion.

The courses will take place starting January 2006 and be based on an extended, 4-day version of our popular PHP Essentials class.

The class teaches you how to program in PHP 5 in a 4 day course with information ranging from the basics up to advanced topics including XML, web services, and OOP programming. The days are broken up into six hour chunks, building in complexity as each day progresses. The cost for the course is $1995.99 USD/$2395.19 CAD.

They're also offering a special package for anyone not in the Chicago area to help with travel and lodging for $299 in top of the cost of the class. Check out the course's website for complete information.

Classes are coming up quick - January 30th, 2007 and February 27th, 2007 - so get your registration in now!

Continuing on from his previous post, Davey Shafik has posted a more complete look at his Zend_Service_Server paackage.

Well, after my tease the other day, let me announce the official proposal for Zend_Service_Server: Zend_Service_Server Proposal.

The proposal mentions an "automated SOAP/XML-RPC/REST server that will expose any code using any of the above protocols. Zend_Service_Server will also generate human-readable documentation." It lists out the requirements, dependencies, and the method of operation (including sample cases with code).
