Invitation to phpzend.com

Check out: http://phpzend.com Here's the deal (a mission statement if you will)...... I'm a full time web developer. Creating dynamic sites with PHP is my main gig and I enjoy learning everything I can about it and also sharing my experiences with others. To this end I subscribe to several PHP mailing lists and check out various PHP message boards nearly every day. I enjoy this interaction but there is a very real limit to the amount of time one can devote to figuring out why other people's scripts don't work when you have to get yours working too and still try to learn new things (and get started on that great idea you had three months ago!). With this in mind, the goal here is to create a place for general high level discussion of matters relating to the development of medium to large applications with PHP - free from the "I can't get some thing to work on some platform" line of questions. (Don't get me wrong, an outlet for questions like this is great but there are already many places, such as this list, to get answers to general help questions.) The conversation needn't be constricted to just PHP but could easily include any database or server technologies that a PHP developer uses on a regular basis. PHPbuilder.com, Zend.com and the various PHP mailing lists offer this to an extent but it is difficult to keep up with interesting threads due to the high volume of specific help questions. This forum does not aim to be an outlet for specific questions but for open discussion relating to broader PHP topics. What it boils down to is that everyone is busy. Everyone needs to learn new stuff. New stuff is difficult to learn when you have to spend a long time finding it. This is a place to learn new stuff and not spend a lot of time doing it. I hope it makes your life easier. Simple, eh? - Jamie - Jamie@phpzend.com - http://phpzend.com
