Over on the KillerPHP blog today, there's four new book review postings covering a wide range of books for all skill levels and all from O'Reilly.   The books he (quickly) reviews are:  Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL PHP Hacks Programming PHP, Second Edition Learning PHP & MySQL  Overall, he enjoyed and would recommend the books, but each of them definitely has their place in a developer's learning process as well as their own unique fit as far as what the developer needs (ex. quick hacks versus general information).

In a new tutorial over on PHPBuilder.com today, they demonstrate how to create and work with one of the most popular data exchange formats on the web today - RSS.   Recently I was looking for an RSS aggregator. I was having surprising difficulty finding one that did exactly what I wanted. [...] I began seriously considering writing my own. This month, I show you how to create a basic RSS reader yourself.   He gives a simple primer to what RSS is and what it looks like (explaining the XML spec) and includes an example of what a simple document looks like. He uses the older XML functionality in PHP (expat) to do the parsing and includes to code that he uses to get the job done.

Sir, The Nelson Mail's glib and inapt title on a June 23 article "Nappies and compost cause a stink'' is inappropriate and obviously was penned by a philistine.   Compost should never "stink'' if made properly.

The other day I was thinking about all the edge-cases within Linux and how there are hundreds of little commands and tricks.  I these know now but only after using UNIX for more than 15 years now (has it been that long!).  I wish I would have known all these tricks when I was just getting started.

Very powerful tool with a simple syntax.  Just run 'nc' and you can connect to a host/port and interact with it manually.  You could even write an HTTP client with bash if you really wanted to.  The zsh  shell looks like it might becom ...
