Just a quick note. I uploaded the first build of the Release Candidate 1 of PHP 5.4.0 to php-osx.liip.ch. It works on Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7. See the beta instructions for some info about how to install this. And keep on testing (and filing issues, if you find any)
Still wrapping up Horde Hackathon 2011, but it's been a ton of fun and very productive already.
Continuous integration is one of these topics that had a slow start, but in recent years has really taken off. The slow start is likely to be attributed to the fact that it was perceived as hard to setup and maintain. But solutions around Jenkins and Sismo are making it easier and easier. But thanks to the new Travis CI service, its now essentially so easy that there is no excuse not to use CI for PHP projects, at least if you are hosting your OSS code on github.com. What makes this service so crazy cool...
During ZendCon this year, we
released 2.0.0beta1 of Zend
Framework. The key story in the release is the creation of a
new MVC layer, and to sweeten the story, the addition of a modular
application architecture.
"Modular? What's that mean?" For ZF2, "modular" means that your
application is built of one or more "modules". In a lexicon agreed
upon during our IRC meetings, a module is a collection of code and
other files that solves a specific atomic problem of the
application or website.

New on PHPBuilder.com today is a tutorial introducing you to web services with the Zend Framework, a guide to creating a simple RESTful service with this popular PHP framework.Rather than attempt to build and maintain multiple versions of the Web application in order to accommodate the diverse array of challenges and advantages presented by each device type, developers are increasingly embracing a unified approach which allows them to manage a single server-side code base which communicates with multiple...

In this new post to his blog Sameer Borate applies an interesting method of discovery of structure in unfamiliar code - generating code signatures.One method [Ward Cunningham] suggests is that of summarizing on a single line select punctuation characters from each source file. He calls this the file's "signature". This will help the developer gauge the complexity of the code base.He includes a few examples from files in WordPress - looking for the structure of curly braces and semicolons as delimiters...
