Over on PHPComplete.com this morning, there's a new article/tutorial all about Concepts of Object-Oriented Programming in PHP. For those out there wondering how to get started working with clasess and objects in PHP, this is for you. And there's never been a better time either - with the release of the alpha of the new Zend Engine that includes better handling for objects and OOP programming. This article goes through pretty much everything you'll need to get started, including some "tricks" to using objects.

Also today, from DevArticles.com, there's a new article that details how to create a Useful Event Calendar Written In PHP. Most people use out-of-the-box software that manages everything for everyone, but what happens of you want to make something that everyone can see and/or use. A nice, easy-to-use web-based calendar could be the answer - and this article can help you make one. It uses a flat-file to store information (no DB to rely on!) and shows information a month at a time, with each of the days with events marked with a red box around the number. It really is a nice, simple calendar system that would work well to coordinate everyone from a small business to a family, just trying to get their schedules to mesh.
