Our client in Tampa, FL is looking to hire 5 PHP developers with the following experience:
Absolute number one: A web developer with experience in transaction oriented web sites. This means not someone who has mostly done site design, cutesy JavaScript, shopping carts, and so on.
PHP. They use PHP4; PHP5 experience is good but since they are on version 4, that carries a little more weight. They like object oriented experienced.
JavaScript. They use it extensively, both in DHTML models and with AJAX. Forms validation is not enough. They look for object oriented and DHTML.
UNIX. They want someone who has decent experience w/ Sun/Solaris or LINUX.
Database experience. The candidate must have good database experience, with large databases. Very good SQL knowledge is a must.
XML. Should have some experience with XML, including using parsers and PHP functions to create XML streams.
Version Control. Candidates should have worked in shops that use version control software.
Team vs. solo. They don*t have much use for someone who has primarily worked on small projects by themselves. They need people who know how to work on a team (and enjoy it).
Apache. They use Apache servers; experience with them is very desirable. Also desirable: Ability to compile/configure Apache.
They expect people to "hand code", that is, not to use a code generating tool.

The folks at Friend of Ed were kind enough to send me a copy of PHP Solutions, by David Powers. This book is solely intended for someone who hasn't used PHP before but approaches it in a way that is different than most books I've seen.
Jonathan talks about the contents of the book (installation, the basics, working with images, etc) and mentions what he liked about the book - mostly its forward-thinking approach including a look at PHP6 and a more well-rounded approach than just the traditional "put it in the database" ideas.
If you missed the Zend Webcast talking about "Advanced PHP Solutions" with Zeev Suaski, ComputerWorld has your chance to grab the download from it.
PHP continues to enjoy phenomenal growth becoming the de-facto standard for enterprise Web applications. With the introduction of PHP 5, PHP has reached new levels of support for Web Services, XML and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) meeting the robust demands of the enterprise environment. Learn how you can achieve scalability, performance, availability and reliability for your enterprise-class PHP applications with advanced PHP solutions from Zend Technologies.
In the webcast, Zeev talks about integrating web services, tracking and improving the response times in your application, scaling your applications, and troubleshooting applications down to the exact line of code.
The latest offering from the php|architect A/R/T article repository is this column from the editor, Marco Tabini. In it, he asks (and answers) the question "Are We Losing LAMP?".
In a recent post to a blog that was reported in our news, author Cliff Wells claims that the light has gone out on LAMP. I have addressed enough of these articles in the past--as have many others who know a log more about technology than I do--and I am not really going to address another one here. In fact, I am only going to use it for that most human of human forms of expression: imitation.
Marco talks about how, while the PHP community on the whole has been lucky as far as its partnerships and contributions from larger entities, there might come a time later on when these same alliances could stir up trouble. He does suggest somewhat of a solution, though - three actually, some a bit more plausable than others. (You'll have to check out the article to get those, though!)
Thanks to Dariusz Pawlowski, we are receiving some examples of each issue for free now, to be used in the user group. During our meeting yesterday, I opened the first 2 envelopes and we already got 1 example of the past 3 issues, as well as 3 examples of the current issue. The magazine examples will be hosted by Tobias Struckmeier at the eZ Systems GmbH office, so every usergroupy is free to borrow one for some days from there.
PHP Solutions is a developer-oriented magazine that's translated into several languages including English, French, and German.
