In a new post Gennady Feldman has listed out some beginner resources to help those just getting into PHP:

I know that some of my last blog entries were a bit too technical for the web designers who are just starting out and curious about using PHP for their website. I thought I'd do a blog post with links for the newbies who are just starting out and making their first steps in PHP.

He points out the videos on the KillerPHP.com website, links to the PHP manual and the PEAR and PECL home pages.

On the ThinkPHP Blog, there's information posted about a new help center for their Chorizo! scanner with lots of information included already.

Go and check out Chorizo!'s new Help Center. We extended the existing tutorials and provide a smooth overview about the current documentation. Included is an overview about all the scanner plugins Chorizo! is using and explain a bit what each plugin does.

There are "Getting Started" guides offered, video tutorials, details on each of the plugins (PHPversions, XSS plugin, Session injection, etc), some of the features of the scanner, and some general troubleshooting information.

On the Cake Baker blog today, there's a quick note about the first (?) German CakePHP blog being started.

Timo and Dirk started the probably first german blog related to CakePHP. Its name, Cake Bakery, is a bit unlucky, as it is very similar to the coming CakePHP Bakery, which will replace the wiki.

The site currently has some content in it and includes links to other resources as well.

The Cake Baker (Daniel Hofstetter) has a quick post about a little unofficial something that those working with the CakePHP framework might want to check out.

Something missed by a lot of people is now live: a forum for CakePHP. It is run by a CakePHP user named "kain". At the moment it is still empty and needs to be filled with activity.

The forum is already starting to fill up - not a lot, but it's a start. It uses the Vanilla software to run the site.
