Thank you for this.<p>I'm not fond of PHP, but I don't know it as well as Ruby and Python. Still, I like to read about new technologies concerning PHP. I use HN to discover new stuff, but HN is a poor resource concerning PHP. HN has tremendous vocal disdain for PHP. Every PHP thread transforms into "Why I like or dislike PHP" instead of actual discussion regarding new technologies or libraries. What's worse is the debates feel like I've warped 10 years past because there is nothing ever new to them. People complain about the old things of PHP and never talk about the new things.<p>Put simply, even though I don't know PHP that well I feel like maybe it has potential and can actually do good in the right hands, but HN brainwashes you into thinking PHP is the worst.
>Dealing with Duplicated Code<p>Anyone notice the duplicate topic under Tutorials and Talks "Offline Processing in PHP with Advanced Queuing," just gave me a little chuckle when one of the articles is dealing with duplicated code.<p>Aside from this, I LOVE PHP. A prospective employer was asking if I would be open to learning RoR. Anyone who is experienced on Rails, could you let me know if it's a similar structure as PHP (which I'm great at)? Thanks.
After reading the linked <a href="http://www.phpclasses.org/blog/post/208-5-Reasons-Why-the-Web-Platform-War-is-Over-PHP-Won-with-75-says-Google.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.phpclasses.org/blog/post/208-5-Reasons-Why-the-We...</a>, I have to wonder why people still think their favorite technology must "win".
Have you seen Wes Mason's PHP Weekly newsletter: <a href="http://phpweekly.info" rel="nofollow">http://phpweekly.info</a>? Is this intended as a replacement?
Since you seem to be taking suggestions, could you add "overflow:hidden;" to the main div (#home)?<p>On Firefox 3 the site appears about 4000 pixels wide.
Hi there. We posted about PHP Weekly last week and we had some really good suggestions from people - mainly about how we'd not done a great job explaining what we are doing!! Took all the suggestions on board and added in an image, latest issue link as well as archives. We've also added in an RSS feed, but I note the comment (on here) about the RSS feed being terrible. Sorry, we'll work on that.
Don't be afraid to make the text here:<p><a href="http://www.phpweekly.com/archive/latest.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.phpweekly.com/archive/latest.html</a><p>larger, and expand the width of the layout some. If you're going to leverage a simple layout like that in which the text is the sole focus, you might as well go a bit larger font size.
