Well, the big news lately is that everyone's favorite web server, Apache, has officially released it's latest version: Apache Web Server 2.0. This release has been anticipated for a while now, and there's all sorts of cool features out there that it adds. For a complete listing of them, check out this page. (thanks to PHPEverywhere for the links).

Also new from the O'Reilly Network this morning - there's an article posted that talks about Tips for Building Web Database Applications with PHP and MySQL (from the author of Web Database Applications with PHP & MySQL). Most of these are pretty general tips that anyone who's been working with the language for a bit should already know - one nice thing they do note, though, is the use of header to redirect after info has been inserted to avoid a "reload bug" making a duplicate record.

I think it's an interesting topic - mainly just because I've never had to do it before. One of the newest Evolt articles talks about developing for the K-12 audience. Now, while a lot of work goes into sites to make them "adult-friendly", it makes me wonder how much work is done to appeal to the lower bracket too. In this article, they talk about pretty much every thing you'd need to worry about to get a network going for a local school - hardware, software, legal issues, etc... It's kinda a fun read, especially if it's not something you think about a lot.
