- The new Secure Password Hashing API in PHP 5.5 - Gist
  
  As time goes by you might want to change the password hashing algorithm or load factor, or PHP may change the defaults to be more secure. In this case new accounts should be created using the new options and existing passwords rehashed on login (you can do this only on login because you need the original password to do a rehash).

All true quotes. Although, from my QA perspective this quote is the one I most connect with:

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning. ~Rich Cook
- Programming Quotes, Sayings about Programmers, Software Developers, Application Development
  
  Few companies that installed computers to reduce the employment of clerks have realized their expectations.... They now need more, and more expensive clerks even though they call them "operators" or "programmers." ~Peter F. Drucker Programmer - an organism that turns coffee into software. ~Author Unknown Programming is like sex.

  There are loads of classics in there, but I hadn't heard this one:
  
  Another effective technique is to explain your code to someone else. This will often cause you to explain the bug to yourself. Sometimes it takes no more than a few sentences, followed by an embarrassed "Never mind, I see what's wrong. Sorry to bother you." This works remarkably well; you can even use non-programmers as listeners. One university computer center kept a teddy bear near the help desk. Students with mysterio… Read moreus bugs were required to explain them to the bear before they could speak to a human counselor. ~Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike, about debugging

PHP, or any other programming language does not intrinsically suck, programmers and their perceptions suck! This is a good Q+A about PHP and it's apparent reputation as a 'bad programming language'
- client relations - How to break the "php is a bad language" paradigm? - Programmers
  
  I do not know why PHP has such a bad reputation (does it really?). I have seen excellent software written in PHP. Of course, as every tool, PHP has limitations. I once wrote a middle-sized project in PHP and I missed Java as soon as the business logic started to get complex.

  Not sure I understood much of it :-) but I love all things code - as a curious technophile and a user - so I 'like' this too :-) Thanks Gordon

  I wouldn't say its fundamentally flawed but there are some seriously rough edges around in PHP. Many of them could be resolved by making backwards incompatible changes and making procedural programming a second class citizen.

So, what is everyone else's opinion of Agile? It's not something I've personally worked with for a decent amount of time to make my mind up yet.
- Is Agile Really Worth the Trouble?
  
  If development methodologies were a religion - and depending on who you're talking to, they are - we here at the uTest blog would be agnostic. That is to say we believe no methodology is inherently better than another. As we've learned from our customers, almost any approach can work given the right personnel.

Composer, dependency resolver for #PHP

http://nelm.io/blog/2011/12/composer-part-1-what-why/

I think this was something missing from the PHP world that now starts to be used on many open source and enterprise projects. I like the support on namespaces and the library restriction on project which PEAR was not able to provide.
Do you think this will help developers including third parties libraries or will it just increase the reinventing the wheel syndrome?
- Composer: Part 1 - What & Why | Nelmio Blog
  
  You may have heard about Composer and Packagist lately. In short, Composer is a new package manager for PHP libraries. Quite a few people have been complaining about the lack of information, or just seemed confused as to what it was, or why the hell we would do such a thing.

- What PHP 5.5 might look like
  
  PHP 5.4 was released just four months ago, so it probably is a bit too early to look at the next PHP version. Still I'd like to give all the people who aren't following the internals mailing list a small sneak peak at what PHP 5.5 might look like.

  Getters and setters look awesome, and it's great to see things like list comprehensions coming into PHP

The anti-corruption layer - great for connecting the properly domain driven aspects of your application to anything that might not be - old code, third party services, etc.
- Domain Driven Design: Anti Corruption Layer at Mark Needham
  
  I previously wrote about some of the Domain Driven Design patterns we have noticed on my project and I think the pattern which ties all these together is the anti corruption layer. The reason why you might use an anti corruption layer is to create a little padding between subsystems so that they do not leak into each other too much.

There's been a lot of controversy in the #PHP community recently, centred around the creation of the PHP-FIG working group. So to provide a central point to answer any questions on the matter the site http://www.php-fig.org/ was put together.
- PHP-FIG - PHP Framework Interop Group
  
  What is FIG? The idea behind the group is for project representatives to talk about the commonalities between our projects and find ways we can work together. Our main audience is each other, but we're very aware that the rest of the PHP community is watching.

Here's a great resource for anyone looking to get started with #PHP or to brush up on the current state of the language. It was put together by Josh Lockhart creator of the Slim micro-framework and tries to pull together "current" information on PHP and what it can do.
- PHP: The Right Way
  
  There's a lot of outdated information on the Web that leads new PHP users astray, propagating bad practices and bad code. This must stop. PHP: The Right Way is an easy-to-read, quick reference for PHP best practices, accepted coding standards, and links to authoritative tutorials around the Web.
