Recently, a couple of people have very generously donated their time to translate my Zend Framework Tutorial into their native language to help their fellow countrymen.

These two new translations are into Italian from Mario Santagiuliana and into Polish by Radoslaw Benkel. Rob's tutorial helps you get up to speed with the Zend Framework by creating a sample application for working with albums and their properties. The English version is here.

My last post about back to basics covered reverse polish notation including a link to a RPN parser which I wrote to allow people to learn by example (best way in my opinion and in yours). The post got quite long and the PHP code was not really relevant to the subject so I have decided to include in this separate post instead.

There's two parts to the post - a pseudo-code explanation that an overview of how things work and the actual code, a block of code (in the 30 line area) that runs through each item and, based on a token, pushes the value into the array differently.

A couple of new translations of my Zend Framework tutorial have crossed my desk in the last week. Kubek Bartosz has very kindly created a new up to date Polish version of my Zend Framework tutorial. Alex Musayev has created a Russian translation too.

Check out the list of translations for his tutorial including Brazilian, Spanish, Italian and French.

I just received a copy of PHP5. Wprowadzenie, the Polish translation of Learning PHP 5.

He also jokes about one of the code listings in the book, trying to figure out what "Kurczak generała O'Tso" might be.

If you would like to order this translation of the book, you can pick it up at helion.pl.
