Between us, we've had 8 books published and reviewed 4 more

"Between us, we've had 8 books published and technically reviewed 4 more"

For those of you who follow us on Twitter, you'll probably be aware that Michael and myself have had quite a few books published through Packt Publishing.

Writing these helps to give us a good insight in to popular content management systems and ecommerce software such as Drupal and Magento; knowledge which is useful throughout any website project.

Michael's latest book is called PHP 5 Social Networking, and the last book I had published is called Joomla! 1.5 Templates Cookbook, though my latest book is due to be announced in the next few months.

Michael gives talk at web development conference PHPNW »

Earlier this month saw our head web developer, Michael Peacock, present a talk at the popular PHP North West conference for web development.

The conference, PHP North West (or PHPNW), was held in Manchester and attracted some 300 attendees.

The talk was entitled 'Abstracting functionality with centralised content': I'm told the talk was much more exciting than it sounds, though I'm still dubious!

Michael's talk was based on our company's experience of building content management systems, ecommerce websites and business software systems such as extranets.

And, in the meantime, if you'd like our help with any web development projects, I'm sure we can stop him talking long enough to give you a helping hand!
