Aspect Oriented Programming in PHP
Who says you need to be a java-head to play with the cool stuff? Some of you may have heard of an “extension” to Object Oriented design called Aspect Oriented Programming. ([i]I seem to recall something about it in the classic text “The Pragmatic Programmer.”[/i])
Well, it was only a matter of time, but someone built a framework for it in PHP:
http://freshmeat.net/projects/aophp/
[quote]This package can be used to implement aspect oriented programming (AOP) by executing the code of classes that enable orthogonal aspects at run- time. The intention is to provide a means to implement orthogonal aspects in separate classes that may be an interesting add to the application, like logging, caching, transaction control, etc., without affecting the main business logic. The package provides base classes for implementing defining point cuts where the code of an advice class is called to implement actions of the orthogonal aspects that an application may need to enable.[/quote]
I only have some idea what he just said, but I’m sure that plenty of you will find this very cool! You go Dmitry!
5.0 Arives : LAMP gets major upgrade.

Zend Collaboration Project
While I was lucky enough to see the announcement of OpenOffice at OSCON a few years back, this week I missed what may one day become the NextBigThing for the PHP Community from Zend.
[quote]The PHP Collaboration Project is an open source initiative through which the PHP community and partners will create an industrial-grade PHP Web application development and deployment environment.[/quote]
Sure, at the moment it is just an announcement. However, if anyone is going to be able to muster the open source [i]and[/i] big-business backing to actually pull off a decent/universal programming platform for PHP it would be Zend.
Good luck guys!
October 2005 :: Using Image_Graph
Want to make cool graphs? Check out today’s presentation [url=http://www.kcpug.org/doghouse/2005_oct/image_graph.swf]Using Image_Graph[/url].
Also, be sure to check out some of the great information on the web:
The topic of WYSIWYG HTML Editors for Linux came up. While it isn’t WYSIWYG, [url=http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/index.html]bluefish[/url] came to mind. We also thought of [url=http://nvu.com/screenshots.html]Nvu[/url], and it certainly looked full-featured.
This discussion lead us into a chat on CSS and web-standards based design. The websites [url=http://www.alistapart.com/]A List Apart[/url] (for info) and [url=http://www.csszengarden.com/]CSS Zend Garden[/url] (for inspiration) both came up. I also had to show off the [url=https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=60]Web Developer Toolbar[/url] for Firefox…a web-coder’s best tool.
See you next month!

If you have been wanting to give your programming skills an object oriented upgrade but don’t really know where to take the plunge–go check out [url=http://books.slashdot.org/books/05/08/16/0434205.shtml?tid=169&tid=6]my review of PHP 5 Objects, Patterns and Practice[/url] from Apress.

Is PHP growing in Kansas City?
A quick search on Monster.com found 5 or 6 jobs in just the Olathe and Overland park areas. And a search on CareerBuilder.com yielded several more in KCMO and KCK. It seems that there are just as many (or more) PHP job postings as there are ASP.NET or JSP job postings.
What do you guys think? Is this a sign that businesses in the midwest are finally embracing PHP as their preferred development language? Or am I crazy?
Has anyone noticed an increase in PHP usage among area businesses?
