PHP Abstract podcast book contest

Technorati Profile

Im claiming this blog from technorati.com because I want to join a contest at Devzone's phpabstract.

Yeah! I want a free book! And if Cal Evans make this post a winner. I guess it's just plain luck.

I have been an avid listener of phpabstract every thursday I always check for new episode. Though I always check devzone daily aside from planet-php.net and phpdeveloper.org to keep me updated on what's happening in the PHP world.

Everytime there is a new episode I would play it with my speakers on here at our office so my fellow PHP Developer can hear it too and at the same time.

PHP Abstract is Devzone's PodCast for PHP Developers by PHP Developers and sponsored by Zend Technologies the PHP company. The host is Cal Evans the man behind devzone popularity.

My favorite phpabstract episode is Episode 20: Five Ways To Kill a Software Project It made me laugh at the same time re-think on some things. So if you're into PHP give phpabstract a try. You'll enjoy it! ^^

============== END SUMMARY PAGE ===================

 

It was originally planned to be developed on CodeIgniter but afterwards I decided to build it on top of Zend Framework. I have been eager in learning Object Oriented Programming, enlightened by Design Patterns, moved by Agile Methodologies, keenly looking at TDD to BDD. Now I want to try software architecture with this ideas.

 At the moment I wish I could make it possible for ubraa to embrace best practices. I believe it will be self-fulfilling after I develop this pet project to a monster.

Though Ubraa will be most likely be base on BaseCamp as it's original goal. I feel under me Ubraa will rather be a mix of Basecamp and Trac and wishing to be fisheye like hehehe . Just a young developer dream I guess who knows.

Ubraa can now be check out!
