pat recommends "Advanced PHP Programming"

Today I received my copy of George's book "Advanced PHP Programming". After I skipped thru the table of contents and read some chapters I've to say that I'm amazed. Finally there's a book about PHP that deals with concepts instead of only hacking some source code.

George is talking about "Designing a good API", "Design Patterns", "Error Handling", "Unit Testing" and a lot of other topics that are useful for solving the web problem.
There's only one thing, that makes pat sad: in the chapter about using templates for web application there's not a single reference to patTemplate, but nobody's perfect.

So if you are using PHP, pat says "Buy this book!". And as last words: George is not paying us, if that's what you wanted to ask.(Although he now should....)
