Jason Sweat has this new post on his weblog today, giving more information about a book that sounds like it could help patterns come to the forefront in PHP - "PHP Architect's Guide to PHP Design Patterns".

He goes on to say: First of all, every chapter of the book is done!! Every chapter had to be written, sent to tech review, edited, and then sent to the editors. The final chapter came back from tech review a week ago Sunday, and on Friday night I sent it off to the editors. As I understand the rest of the process, I have to do one more approval of the final layout, then after a short turn around, it goes up as a PDF on the php|architect website. Only a week or two after that, it will be available in hardcopy. Down to the wire, but I am hoping to see the dead tree edition by php|t.

He's also headed down to the php|tropics conferece and will be presenting on two topics: "PHP5 Design Patterns" and "Test Driven Development in PHP".
