Hi,
It has been a while since my last post, my apologies.
But there has been a good reason for this and this reason will be revealed soon.
Sorry I can’t give more information, but I have to keep this under wraps until we go public.
Thanks,
Stefan

With the recent rise in popularity of the Ruby programming language (largely driven by the excellent but not perfect web framework called Rails), I’ve noticed a little fear in the air … fear on the part of some people in the PHP community.
Will Ruby kill PHP?

Though Ruby and PHP are [...]

The ‘raison d’être’ for www.killerphp.com is basically to make PHP accessible to the average web designer.
I want to reach people who have more of a design background than a coding/programming background.
TODAY, PHP IS ESSENTIAL WEB DESIGN KNOWLEDGE
I can’t tell you how many times web designers have approached me about doing relatively simple things:

Since the release of PHP 5, the PHP world has slowly started to get into more advanced programming, things like object oriented concepts and the use of design patterns.

Here is just a sample of the choices you have:

PHP
JSP/Servlets
Ruby on Rails
PERL
Classic ASP
ASP.net
ColdFusion

There are several types of databases used today. The most common being:
1. Relational databases.

You can think of each type of database [...]

When PHP was first invented, it was short for:
‘Personal Home Page’
Then later (to make it seem fancier,) the nerds in charge of PHP, changed their minds and said the ‘PHP’ was a recursive acronym for “PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor”. Whatever PHP stands for, it is the most popular web scripting language today.

When I was beginning web design and web programming years back, I remember all the confusing terms, technologies, and concepts that were floating around that just made it that much more difficult to wrap my head around the whole web thing.
With that in [...]

PHP is a very popular web scripting language and engine that allows you to create dynamic web pages easily and quickly.
It is easy to learn, so once you get the basics down, you will progress quickly and start writing some useful scripts.
In non-geek terms:
