Where did all the PHP programmers go?
Frustrated by the trouble he's having finding a really good PHP developer to fill a few positions, has posted about this process he's been going through - the good, the bad and the downright ugly - of trying to find those right, qualified folks.
During the last six month or so, I've been looking to hire a PHP programmer for at least three companies. I have spoken to quite a few people on the phone, reviewed a bunch of resumes, and even interviewed a few. Out of all those candidates I recommended to hire exactly zero.
Some of the "roadbumps" he experienced along the way include the interviewees inability to write down code without a computer and them giving either the wrong or no answers to simple, common knowledge computing questions. So, he came up with a list of what he calls the "roots of the problem". Included in the list are things like:
- PHP is an ugly language
- PHP is rich with secondary reasons
- PHP is getting mature
- PHP avoidance
Also be sure to check out this response from Nick Jenkins to Leonid's post.
UPDATE: Leonid has also posted a follow-up post with a few corrections and clarifications of the original post.

The next session of the course starts on April 29th and will last through May 16th. There will be nine sessions during that time for two hours at a time. You can get full details, including how to reserve your spot, on the course's page on the Zend website.

php|architect Database Design for PHP Programmers by Mac Newbold
Maggie Nelson has pointed out an article in the most recently published edition of php|architect magazine (the February 2008 issue) that's an introduction to database design for programmers (by Mac Newbold).
It's a pretty good article about database design and I think all PHP developers who are just starting to integrate databases in their applications should read it. However, there are a few things I'd like to add and point out.
The "blurb" for the article mentions MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL, SQLite and database schemas. You can find out more about this issue, including how to get your own copy, from the php|architect website.
40 signs you really are a lousy PHP programmer
Reinhold Weber has put together a list of signs (40 in all on his "programming list of shame") that you're a lousy PHP programmer. Here's a sampling:
- don't see the need and/or benefits of a good programming IDE like Zend Studio or Eclipse PDT
- have never used some form of version control like Subclipse
- don't use a consistent methodology
- don't use test-driven development
- don't return content but echo or print it from your functions or classes
- return HTML, not data, strings, or objects.
- don't allow intelligent error handling
- you think reusable software equals/requires your code to be OOP
Now granted, some of them are a bit more high level than others, but if you're not headed towards a lot of these, you might change paths, hop out of that comfort zone and branch out into the community and the language a little bit more.
