New PHP Magazine Launched

Posted by timothy on from the birds-of-a-feather dept.

Marco Tabini writes "The website for php|architect was launched today. php|architect is a monthly magazine distributed through secure PDF technology dedicated exclusively to the world of PHP programming. php|a features articles that tackle "advanced" PHP topics, such as SNMP management and performance improvement techniques. Our goal is to bring a complete reference point to a PHP community that is growing in ranks and ability, dealing with subjects that go beyond the traditional tutorials that have been available until now. What's more, because it's published in PDF, it's available worldwide at a very reasonable cost (or, at least, we think so!)"

    No plugin required--the PDFs are simply encrypted with your password. We've tried to come up with a protection scheme that is simple to use and doesn't alienate any users (Adobe has NO support for Linux with their eBook products!!!)

    Also, there are no limitations on printing copies.

    Well...not necessarily. There are good PDF viewers out there--and they let you cut and paste and search text. Still, PDF gives you a more "typographical" medium than web. So, you've got all the convenience of electronic format, and none of the problems of paper.

    Heck, I am willing to shell out two bucks to check out the first issue.
    The main page mentions that the single issue price is $1.99.
    Try as I might I could not find a way to buy that single issue!
