In a quick reminder from php|architect, they mention one of their upcoming training classes - PHP From the Ground Up (taught by Chris Shiflett).

PHP from the Ground Up, designed by PHP experts Ilia Alshanetsky and Chris Shiflett, provides you with 19 hours of live training classes based on a practical approach to learning development, delivered entirely online, covering such topics as: Essential PHP Elements, String manipulation and regular expressions, Array manipulation, OOP, and much more.

[...] Each class is delivered directly online using our exclusive training system. You will be able to hear the instructor talk through your speakers, and you will be able to interact with him directly either through text chat or voice if you have a microphone and he/she allows you to.

Having used their training/conference system, I can say that while it is simple in features, that makes it light/clean/easy to use and makes the whole experience better. Each of the seven sessions (the first is one hour, the rest 3) start up on April 11th, so if you're interested in getting in on this training, you'd better act quickly. This is a great opportunity for those out there that are just getting started with PHP and want a "fast track" to jump right in...
