The Voices of the ElePHPant podcast has posted their latest in their series of community interviews this time with Larry Garfield, an advocate and well-known speaker in the PHP and Drupal communities.

They talk about Larry's involvement with Cal's "secret project" (no longer secret): the Wisdom of the ElePHPant book. Larry shares the concept behind his entry based on a quote from Pablo Picasso and when to break the rules. They also talk about Drupal 8 and the current state of the project.

You can listen to this latest episode either through the in-page audio player or by downloading the mp3. If you enjoy the episode, be sure to subscribe to their feed to get the latest.

Cal Evans, a prominent member of the PHP community, has put together a new project sharing what he's called "Wisdom of the ElePHPant", a series of short thoughts by members of the PHP community touching on everything from the art of programming to helping out open source projects to working with code reviews.

All of these little nuggets of wisdom have been gathered and put into a small book, one per page. These books cannot be purchased but there are sources where you can find them and get a copy of your own (such as conferences, user groups or from various members of the PHP community). Fortunately, there was more than enough wisdom to go around and some of the submissions are also being shared on the site including current ones from Jeremy Kendall, Erika Heidi and Cal himself.

This is a great resource for some quick chunks of wisdom from developers who have seen (and overcome) a lot of the challenges developers experience every day. I highly suggest picking up a copy for yourself...if you can track one down. For more check out the project's main site, WisdomOfTheElePHPant.com.
