Stubbles Blog is live!
Yesterday, the Stubbles project got its own blog at www.stubbles.org.Stubbles is a new framework for PHP 5.2 which focuses on clean OO design, the use of patterns and ports some features from the langauges commonly referred to "enterprise languages" to PHP. If you are looking for new ways to develop your PHP applications, you should definitely take a look at the stubReflection package, which brings Java Annotations to PHP. The next issue of the German PHP Magazin will feature an article, that shows how to use this package.
The blog will feature tutorials, thoughts on Stubbles and surely rants on PHP itself. So it will be definitely worth the read.
Stubbles currently is developed by Frank Kleine, Nico Steiner and Stephan Schmidt. The design of the Stubbles logo and the Stubblog design have been created by Sebastian Mordziol of Mistralys, who is also responsible for the PAT design and several PAT packages.

PHP Programming with PEAR reviewed
Cal Evans, editor of the Zend Developer Zone, wrote a review of "PHP Programming with PEAR", the book I wrote together with Carsten Lucke, Aaron Wormus and Stoyan Stefanov.The review is very positive and what's especially nice about it, is, that he liked Chapter 4 (Web services) the most and this is one of the chapters that I wrote. If you are interested in buying a copy of the book, you can find more information at the book website, which has been set up by Aaron. And of course you can directly order it at Amazon.com.
