<a href="http://nostarch.com/">No Starch Press</a> has officially released their PHP title "<a href="http://nostarch.com/wcphp.htm">Wicked Cool PHP</a>" (Real-World Scripts That Solve Difficult Problems).
</p>
<p>Here's a bit from the press release:</p>
<blockquote>
Wicked Cool PHP [...] is a different breed of PHP book. It's made specifically for the developer who wants to know how to get things done without mucking around and wasting a lot of time. This is not a weighty PHP complete reference or bible that threatens to take down your bookshelf and the rest of the bookcase. This is a book for coders to pick up and use, not wade through.
</blockquote>
<p>
It provides the reader with "76 immediately useful PHP scripts" that do a variety of things like send/receive email notifications, do some web scraping, track users with cookies and sessions and use web services like SOAP. 
</p>
<p>
You can find out more about the book on <a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9781593271732/index.html">this page</a> on the O'Reilly website. The book will officially hit the stands February 15th.
