Learn Symfony in 24 days
Ok the workshop was great! I can recommend this workshop to everybody with some knowledge of php.
If you're unable to follow the workshop try the tutorial book 'Practical Symfony' (with Doctrine).
This book has been built with a day to day schema of 24 days, which makes it an advent tutorial.
Even if you don't want to use symfony, this book is still usefull because it contains a lot of usefull information about creating a (web)project.
And that's why I encourage everybody to follow this tutorial!
Find the book at: http://www.symfony-project.org/jobeet/1_2/Doctrine/en/
Vim as a PHP editor
Matthew Weier O'phinney has posted a great article about using vim as your php editor. Adding mappings to run the file through php linter helps you finding any (syntax)errors while you're working in vim.
Also a project plugin is explained in this article.
Fresh new start!
Ok, thanks to the wordpress worm I was forced to setup my blog again.
Well, not really.. but installing a new wordpress version seems the easiest way for me.
Enjoy this new start!
