NYCPHP Meetup

[Ophir Prusak]

Hi All,

I've been playing around in my head with some ideas for a web site
about using PHP.
Unlike most other sites, it won't have (almost) any PHP in it.

Most of the sites I see have mostly articles that deal with "how do I
use function ABC" or "how do I solve problem XYZ  in PHP".
I've been interacting with various other PHP developers quite a lot
over the past couple of years and feel that there is a big issue most
other sites don't seem to really tackle.

How to become a good PHP programmer.

I know that "really good" isn't well defined but I think you get the point.
I can't help but noticing some of the questions and example code
people ask about.
For example, I just saw this questions a couple of days ago:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/PHP/Q_21070233.html

I'm thinking of something that doesn't explain so much the "what" as
the "why" (and hope that the what naturally follows).

So, am I barking up the wrong tree?

Comments ?
