I liked how the Dev Derby website did team leader profiles and decided to try to do something similar. No one provided any pictures but most did answer some questions I asked so without much further ado, meet the PHP Dev Derby Team.

The team consists of

  • Dennis Rogers (@_drogers)
  • Max Beatty (@maxbeatty)

The team leaders for Dev Derby have been asked to list what we consider valuable professional reading. Our book selections are not limited to our respective Languages. I thought I would share my list with everyone.

The first 2 (GoF design patterns and Patterns of enterprise application architecture) really just need to be in every developer’s library. The rest are a collections of books I’ve read and liked as well as recommendations from developers I like and respect. Keith Casey pointed me in the general direction of a lot of these books.I suspect that some of the Dev Derby people will end up contacting various publishers to solicit swag sometime soon.

In other news about Dev Derby, I think that an application for teams should be available to announce sometime soon geneerinen cialis. I do know we have a deadline for selection approaching and it’s kinda hard to select without people to select from.

GoF design patterns:
* ISBN-10: 0201633612
* ISBN-13: 978-020163361

Patterns of enterprise application architecture:
* ISBN-10: 0321127420
* ISBN-13: 978-0321127426

This is a one-day programming event which challenges teams, representing different programming languages, to build a web-based application for use by non-profits. The code will be released as open source, giving it life after the day has ended. There will be 5 teams competing. My suspicions say that there will be a Rails team and a CF team in addition to the PHP team.

I’m not sure how finalized some of the information I have on the details are but here is what I do know:
