One obvious comparison was to look at a something similar… Ruby on Rails for example. RoR seems to have an air about it, even though it’s still code – lines of text at the end of the day. People seem to sex it up a bit, with nice designs, snazzy videos and commonly a mac text editor. Maybe it’s just the way RoR has come into everyone’s eyes during the whole modern web 2.0 thing, I’m not sure.  I was pointed in the direction of Rachel Andrew’s blog which talks a lot about the differences between how RoR is depicted with PHP, which makes interesting reading.

It still seems that it might come to putting together some good PHP tutorials and creating a home for them!

Is it too much to ask for a topic that’s at least mildly inviting, a nicely formatted article with plenty of code examples and even a working demo of what’s being written about? Surely these things should be the bare bones?

If you know of some really good PHP Tutorials please comment and let me know, For now it looks like I’m going to have to have a rethink, and possibly write some top quality articles to show everyone how it’s done.
