Hello,
I realize this is blatant self-promotion, but hopefully it won't ruin
anyone's day...
In case anyone is interested, I've recently published a book that's
pretty directly related to PHP, as well as issues of programming,
intellectual property, and computer security and privacy. It's called
"Authoritas: One Student's Harvard Admissions and the Founding of the
Facebook Era," and it talks about the complex and mostly unknown story
of Facebook's birth. As you may know, Facebook is based on PHP and
MySQL, as was houseSYSTEM's Universal Face Book, the site that
preceded it at Harvard.
The book has a site here:
http://www.aarongreenspan.com/authoritas.html
and if you're interested in reading the first few pages, you can on
the Interbook site for it here:
http://www.thinkpress.com/authoritas/index.html
The Interbook site also features the actual documents used to write
the book (which are linked page-by-page) such as e-mails and IMs with
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook, Inc.'s present CEO, Apache logs, letters to
and from the Harvard administration, etc.
Both sites are written in PHP (of course!) on the Lampshade framework.
If you want, you can buy the book through any of the places listed on
the Order page.
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or comments.
