PHP in Action » Me http://blog.agilephp.com Dagfinn Reiersøl on PHP, agile development, Ruby and other addictive substances Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:35:32 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 And by the way, the book is in print… http://blog.agilephp.com/2007/07/25/and-by-the-way-the-book-is-in-print/ http://blog.agilephp.com/2007/07/25/and-by-the-way-the-book-is-in-print/#comments Wed, 25 Jul 2007 19:38:21 +0000 dagfinn http://localhost/wordpress/?p=1340 Again a somewhat belated announcement: PHP in Action is in print. My copies of it arrived at my doorstep while I was in Crete, with no clear indication that would have allowed my brother, who was hovering helpfully in the vicinity, to guess what it was. I guessed it, though.

But DHL couldn't give any definite answers, and their Norwegian branch have a menu on they're telephone answering machine that gives a whole new dimension to the concept of a poor user interface. My colleague had a worse time, though. He was the victim of identity theft. His shipment of Java books, also delivered by DHL, was hijacked by someone who forged his signature.

Oh, my dear, I've just had a book published, and here I am chatting about everything else. Strenuously objective as always, I have to say that it's a pretty good book. Wink

I've had to read it about fifteen times already, and I still sort of enjoyed it the last time.

I wrote it with help from my co-authors Marcus Baker and Chris Shiflett. The print version is due out June 30.

A few of you might be yawning, shaking your heads, rolling your eyes, saying this is old news. It's actually 11 days old. The reason I haven't announced it on my blog before is that I've been moving my blog to a professional web hosting company and trying to make sure sure people can comment.

There was actually a “blogathon” following the conference, but I had to leave early to get the blissful experience of returning to snowed-down Norway half asleep in the middle of the night.

Where are all the other blog posts about the conference? I don't know; I guess I'll have to

I was deleting spam and pressed the delete button too fast.

There we'rent many comments, but I apologize to those who had commented. I promise not to do it again.
