The CodeIgniter blog has a a new update today with some changes that are happening in the project and it's community.

On the PHP North West site today there's a new video posted of a session at the PHP North West 2010 conference - Robert Mortimer's talk "Let your toolchain set you free".

Next week I will be making the trip to my original home town of Birmingham to speak at the PHP West Midlands User Group, on 6th April.

They are an active user group and although I haven't managed to organise myself to attend their meetings before, I do keep meeting their members at other technical events so I know they are a good crowd and I'm looking forward to this!

Brandon Savage as a suggestion for anyone doing any kind of development work - use source/version control in your development, you'll be thankful later.

Lorna Mitchell has posted a new review of a new book from Packt Publishing - "PHP Team Development":
