			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the office today a discussion started around my blog post from yesterday (<a href="http://www.stefashwell.com/2009/04/lack-of-quality-php-tutorials/">Lack of PHP Tutorials??</a>) and we decided to post on a few forums to see if there was anything we were missing. Seems not. Obviously, as with anything, there are exceptions to the rule (such as <a href="http://www.sitepoint.com/subcat/php-tutorials" target="_blank">SitePoint&#8217;s</a> myriad of articles).</p>
<p>One obvious comparison was to look at a something similar&#8230; Ruby on Rails for example. RoR seems to have an air about it, even though it&#8217;s still code &#8211; 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&#8217;s just the way RoR has come into everyone&#8217;s eyes during the whole modern web 2.0 thing, I&#8217;m not sure.  I was pointed in the direction of <a href="http://www.rachelandrew.co.uk/archives/2008/05/31/does-php-have-an-image-problem/" target="_blank">Rachel Andrew</a>&#8217;s blog which talks a lot about the differences between how RoR is depicted with PHP, which makes interesting reading.</p>
<p>It still seems that it might come to putting together some good PHP tutorials and creating a home for them!</p>
