February 26, 201413: Using the PHP Documentation
This week we discuss the important topic of learning how to effectively use the PHP documentation.
Although easily neglected for other resources (i.e. StackOverflow), the official PHP documentation is a great place to learn about new functions and how they can be used.
Finally, we touch on some accompanying third-party documentation tools we use on a daily basis.

January 06, 20146: Advice to new PHP web developers
With all the recent discussion in the PHP community we decided it would be a good time to give some grounded advice to new developers.
