On many conferences I still hear stuff like "hey, what about eZ Components" and people often ask my, what the state of the migration of eZ Components to Apache Zeta Components is.

To make it short: eZ Components are dead, long life Apache Zeta Components!

Of course not, but still, the building that hosts our office was built at that time. ;) However, this post should simply tell you that Qafoo, the company by Kore, Manuel and me, has started on July 1st officially and that our company website went online just some minutes ago.

You can now find all of our services online, nicely presented in a fresh green.

It's only two weeks left, until Qafoo, the company by Kore, Manuel and me, will officially start.

Time to reveal another topic of our service repertoire: Consulting, training, support and payed development for Arbit, your all round project tool of choice.

The new mailinglists for the Zeta components have just been created in the Apache Incubator space. So, it's time to start switching to the new infrastructure.

As Tobias Schlitt mentions in his latest post, this year's FrOSCon is looking for your topic submissions!

As announced earlier in this blog, Manuel, Kore and me are in the process of founding our own company.

Now it's time to present the name we have thought out for this operation. We are Qafoo - The PHP quality ninjas.

Isn't that cool? :) So, let me try to explain the origin of this name here. Feel invited to comment on our idea and to give us some inspiration.

One thing I really liked in Python is the data structure set, which is built into the language core.

A set in Python is defined as known from mathematics and beside mathematical use cases, it is helpful in everyday programming live.

In this episode of my series on Python, I give you a short insight into how sets work in there, how you can achieve similar results in PHP and why I like the Python approach.

Every programmer should learn a new programming language once in a while. Be it for inspiration or just for fun.

After some homework in C# some years ago and quite some Java at university (again), Python was my language of choice.

This is the first article in a series I plan to write about what I like in Python, what is disturbing but works out and what is really evil.

In this article I give a short overview on my motivation to dig into Python and start with a first topic: The missing braces.

Thomas Weinert has posted about a new tool he's worked up to make working with the DOM in PHP a bit more fluent - FluentDOM.
