'PHP 5 Power Programming' Available for Download

Posted by timothy on from the try-it-if-you-want dept.

OneSeventeen writes "As mentioned earlier on slashdot, the Bruce Perens Open Source series has expanded its selection with PHP 5 Power Programming. As with all of the books in this series, electronic copies are offered free of charge several months after its printed release. While it is always nice to have even more PHP books on the bookshelves, this has been officially released on the Bruce Perens' Open Source Series for download in the form of a 720 page PDF file. Better PHP programming is only 9.3MB away!"

    Better PHP programming is only 9.3MB away!

    Actually, it'll only take you around 3.5MB to improve your productivity and increase the maintainability of your projects:

    % cd /usr/portage/distfiles
    % ls -lh ruby-* rails-*
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 root portage 59K Mar 29 12:06 rails-0.11.1.gem
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root portage 3.5M Dec 24 20:58 ruby-1.8.2.tar.gz
    %

    Oh my bad, I thought you just wrote "better programming". Never mind, carry on..
