Editorial:

I just got back from a trip to Thailand, so I should be back creating new videos and articles on PHP. In the meantime, I have a few WordPress videos that might interest some of you. About the videos: I cover just the basics in the videos I have up now, but I am working…

The article’s title (I admit,) will get some people little miffed at me. But, what can I say, the truth hurts! Seriously, this statement is valid and is worth talking about because there are a lot of web designers out there who are considering the leap into building dynamic (database driven) web applications. And with…

Hi, This is a touch off topic but I thought that some PHP’ers out there might be interested nonetheless. Preamble: I got my first Mac about 8-9 months ago and I have to say after having used Windows (all flavors) since 1994, I have to admit that OSX is the best operating system I ever…

I been away from making videos for about a week now because of a surprize root canal. This ultra-painful experience (I actually lost 10 lbs!) has prevented me from doing any video work (any work at all,) for last little while. Let that be a lesson to you all: If you grind your teeth in…

I’ve received many emails over the last few years, with complaints of how confusing PHP seemed … of how hard the documentation on the web seemed to be. So I created killerphp.com to help those web designers who seemed to be more inclined to design and not to code. THE WEBSITE LAUNCHED I put up…
