WOW! Thank you for the links! For learning ZF2 I would add: Zend Framework Webinars. http://www.zend.com/en/resources/webinars/framework Rob Allen's DevNotes http://akrabat.com/ For learning the fundamentals I have to mention Martin Fowler http://martinfowler.com/, Kent Beck http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_Beck and Erich Gamma. There are much more. Yes, It is a a lot of reading! We better enjoy it. :) Sometimes I think: "Isn't it better to start reading books and articles about medicine? :) If I am reading the same volumes and with the same intensity I will be a very good medical doctor, in 5 years?" :) We never ever stop reading. We are constantly in the university. Thank you god I like reading. I have a "hungry mind". For over than 20 years in this industry I have learned so many programming languages and technologies which became obsolete and useless. Was all this effort and time for nothing? It is discouraging. I just keep repeating the Mahatma Gandhi words: "Nothing makes sense, but it is very important to keep doing it!" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohandas_Karamchand_Gandhi :) We are on a great journey trough the life and nobody knows where we are going. Some people say "A career in computer programming sucks" http://www.halfsigma.com/2007/03/why_a_career_in.html :) I don't think so! Doesn't have to be this way! We are the people to raise the prestige and the respect of the profession. I think the programmers deserve the equal respect (and salaries) as doctors and lawyer. :) BTW I was following the conversation you started about the documentation. I share your feelings, but all we can do is stay positive and work harder. :) I just have to work a lot to make my bread and butter and support the people I love. There is no much time left. But as I see it is necessary to be an active community member. Regards Stoyan Andreas Möller "Andreas Möller" <[email protected]> hat am 12.
