According to this new post on Chris Shiflett's blog, Zend has recieved another "boost" to their cash flow to the tune of $20 million in a fourth round of funding.

Chris cites both this News.com article and Zend's own press release on the topic:

The new funds will enable us to expand faster in emerging geographical markets, accelerate our product development and extend the services organization to meet the demands of our growing number of enterprise PHP customers.

He looks at it positively, noting that what's good for Zend is, ultimately, good for PHP - and this is very good for the company.

Dikini.net: Updated design pattern collection

Wed, 26 Jul 2006 05:46:52 -0500

Vlado (on Dikini.net) has updated his patterns pages with several more new methods, brining the total up to around 20 different types.

I guess I'm on the down form my design pattern tantrum hit. I updated the collection so it now has about 20 of them, not all can be considered "officially" design patterns, but to be honest I don't really care. I'm very well aware that I ignore the existance of boundaries between design patterns, idioms, techniques, etc.

The collection now includes:

Control abstraction
Coroutines (generator based)
Generator (iterator protocol based)
Nested scope
Partial Evaluation

...and many more.
