PHPCommunity article in PHP Magazine

Mon, 26 Apr 2004 11:12 UTC

In this month’s issue of PHP Magazine (which I have yet to receive, but I suppose it’s on its way), Chris Shiflett features PHPCommunity.org. The article talks a lot about how the project started and its current progress. However, it’s titled “PHP Community: Part I” so I’m looking forward to the next installment to see what he has to say, though I feel that part two may come as we grow nearer to the site launch.

Right now, there is progress on the site, though the end seems far from sight. Still, as Shiflett mentions, PHPCommunity.org is already a success in that it is already building a community.

As systems and applications seek to be more and more user-friendly, they are turning to more abstract, search-based designs. In a sense, I guess they’re becoming more like the human brain (granted, I know very little about how the human brain works).

So, in steps one of our most beloved Web applications: Google, the little search engine that could. Now not-so-little, this search engine has become a giant in all respects and is finally joining the game of Web-based e-mail—and they’re bringing along their search features to boot.

I’ve been very busy lately with my real job, so I have neglected to blog in a while, but much has been happening, so it would seem to me, in the news (especially with Microsoft and Sun and Gmail), but I’ll post on these later. For now, let me promote FCKeditor.
