PHP CSV Utilities v0.3 Released!

I have been trying to wrap up version 0.3 of my CSV library for over two years now.

Learning PHP Series: Part 1 - What PHP isn't

In order to teach a few of my colleagues how to program in PHP, I’ve decided to begin a series of blog articles on the topic. Ultimately, I’d like to bring anybody following the series all the way up through such advanced topics as object oriented programming, design patterns, and unit testing, although getting to that point is going to take us a while.

A basic knowledge of HTML and web development in general is assumed in this series. If you are not familiar with HTML, I suggest you at least take a look at it before starting this series. There are numerous resources on the internet and probably hundreds of books about HTML and beginning web development out there. If you don’t know HTML, you should still be able to follow along, but really, learn HTML first. It will be better for everybody.
