Tycho: There are two things I must mention.First, Gabriel liked the cover for book four (entitled "Birds Are Weird") so much that he wanted to make a poster of it, and it's not worth arguing with him when he gets like that so we let him do it. It is, even now, awailable!Also: PAX preregistration opens today, and since we've had a couple of these now you probably know if it's something you'd like to attend. You save ten dollars over the door price, which is, like, ten bucks. This is money you could put toward some other purpose!(CW)TB

Tobias Schlitt shares some of his toughts on one of his latest in a list of books to read - Exporing PHP.    Although I did not read it, yet, I'd like to recommend it to you, since I think to know the authors good enough to believe they write good books.   In short, "Exploring PHP" is a roundup about advanced PHP programming experiences, covering different topics like: Event driven programming in PHP, Generation of 3D graphics, Refactoring and Migration, PHP6.    From the little that he's looked into the book, he can already tell it's a good resource and is recommending it based on that and the authors it comes from.
