Etouches.com Seeks Web Developer (Reading, UK or Ridgefield, CT)
Valuable Professional Reading
As a part of the Dev Derby he's participating in, Chance Garcia has put together a list of books that he sees as beneficial to developers out there to hone their craft.
Our book selections are not limited to our respective Languages. I thought I would share my list with everyone. The first 2 (GoF design patterns and Patterns of enterprise application architecture) really just need to be in every developer's library. The rest are a collections of books I've read and liked as well as recommendations from developers I like and respect.
Books on his list include:
- Patterns of enterprise application architecture
- Building Scalable Web Sites
- Mythical Man Month
- Guide to PHP Security
- Guide to Enterprise PHP Development
PHP and Web Services - essential reading
Danne Lundqvist has a quick new post with pointers to two articles that're good resources for getting you started with web services and PHP.
So after loads of googling I came to realise that even though 2010 is just around the corner there are still very few quality articles on PHP and web services/SOAP available. Most of the stuff I find is rubbish where people who don't know nothing explain things they don't understand.
He links to one article on the IBM developerWorks site looking at the styles of WSDL files and which methods could work best for your problems and information about WS02 and it's SOAP client functionality.
Reading a specific line in a file
Richard Heyes has thrown together some code for a simple thing that he's seen developers request over and over again - moving to/reading from a specific line in a file.
After reading something on the php-general list I decided that a) I'm bored, and b) I'll write something which handles it. So here it is.
His code is simple - looping through the lines of the file until it locates your desired target (with some error checking along the way). Plus, if it's already fetched, it keeps it in a cached array for future retrieval.

Reading, Writing and Creating Files in PHP
DevShed has a new tutorial posted today with a look at one of the more common tasks performed with PHP (second to generating web pages, of course) - working with files. It can be a little tricky for a budding PHP programmer, but they've got the info you need to get started.
Reading and writing to files can be useful if you do not require the storing of important data, such as a web counter. I must warn you though, that this method of storage should not be used to store passwords and other critical information, as it is not safe. Here we will discuss how to handle files and directories in PHP, specifically, how to create, read and write them.
They start off with a look at file permissions on both Unix and Windows systems ot give you an idea of what problems they could cause. Then, it's on to the actual files themselves - for this part, though, they only look at reading them in and working with their contents.
OPML Reading List
Ben Ramsey has a new note today mentioning Scott Johnson's OPML reading list as well as a note about his own list.
The other day, I came across Scott Johnson's PHP OPML Reading List. Offering an OPML reading list for others to download is a great idea, and, since I've not yet blogged about it, I wanted to point out that I've been doing this for a long while now. On my home page, under the "syndicate" heading, is a link to my OPML blogroll. Feel free to import my OPML into your feed reader; that's what it's there for. (Please also note that I use SimpleXML to generate the blogroll on my home page from this list.)
You can check out Ben's blogroll OPML listing here for some more quality PHP-related reading material.
Recommended PHP reading list
This list of recommended reading material on PHP is compiled from a variety of online sources by Web application developers in IBM's Global Production Services organization. These resources have been selected with the intention of introducing IT specialists and architects to PHP, providing specific information about development and maintenance, and helping to integrate the technology with IBM products.
They have the list broken up onto sections like "Development", "Community and News", and "Migration" with several sub-sections under each. Obviously, there are many more resources out there than just what's on this list, but it's a great start for anyone that really wants a crash course in all things PHP.
