On the Dallas PHP Users Group site today, there's a new, quick book review from baron covering Wiley Publishing's "Beginning Web Programming with HTML, XHTML and CSS".    This is a hands on book useful as an HTML refresher and introduction to XHTML, CSS1, CSS2, JavaScript and general web related topics including; site design, page layout, hosting, and search engines.  This book contains many valuable links to external tools and sources of information such as syntax validators, browser archives, royalty-free image sites, sites with detailed CSS information and demonstrations, and much more.  The books contains a comprehensive reference section which provides a fast lookup of XHTML elements, CSS properties, special characters, mime types, etc.    His review isn't all too positive, unfortunately - there were code errors in the examples, and some subjects were just touched on too lightly. He notes that it's a good refresher/learing tool, but for anything more advanced than that, look elsewhere...

Joseph Crawford has posted some of his thoughts on the mock testing that the folks over at php|architect are offering to help people prepare for Zend's PHP 5 Certification Exam.   So are you getting prepared to take the new PHP 5 Certification Exam offered by Zend?  I have yet to see any books released for the preparation like i did with the PHP 4 exam, however there is something new and very cool.  php|architect offers a Mock Tesing Environment which is powered by Vulcan Web Testing System.   Joseph talks about his experience, noting how he took the test and some of the topics that it covered. He definitely suggests taking it, too, as it provides a good glimpse into what you can expect come exam day.

On the TechToolBlog, there's an interesting little post where Tim Boland has taken three of the major web programming languages - PHP, ASP.NET and Ruby - and compared the number of job listings for each in three different places and on three different sites.   Here is a 30 minute research into the jobs out there for RoR compared to Asp.Net & PHP. I searched for the phrases "Ruby on Rails", "PHP", "ASP.NET" and radius of 100 miles from the zip code. There is no doubt some overlap of job posting but this is pretty clear indication of where things are.   The three locations he picked were Cincinnati Ohio (his hometown), New York City and San Francisco and the three sites were Monster.com, Career Builder and Hot Jobs. Overall, the postings varied from place to place - ASP.NET cam out on top in Ohio, ASP.NET in New York and PHP over in San Francisco.
