On the Ibuildings techPortal today they've posted the latest episode in their DPCRadio series (as recorded at last year's Dutch PHP Conference) - Stephan Hochdoerfer's talk Real World Dependency Injection.

The Monad Zipper by Bruno Oliveira and Tom Schrijvers

Limitations of monad stacks get in the way of developing highly
modular programs with effects.

This pearl demonstrates that Functional
Programming’s abstraction tools are up to the challenge. Of
course, abstraction must be followed by clever instantiation: Huet’s
zipper for the monad stack makes components jump through unanticipated
hoops.

The Zend Developer Zone has a quick post from albeva about an extension from the default controller in the Zend Framework to map URL parameters directly to the methods.

DevShed finishes off their series on data validation with this eighth part - a look at using static methods to create a simple validation helper class (a rework of earlier code).

New on DevShed there's the latest part of a series of tutorials they've written up (fifth of eight) about building automatic loading functionality into your applications.

This time they change up their class to make the their loading function accessible outside of a class object.
