phpwomen.org holding a PHP Best Practice article contest in July

For the month of July, phpwomen.org is holding an article contest! They are accepting articles posted in their Best Practices forum for judging. Their prize lists includes…well, why tell you here, click on inside and I’ll give you the whole scoop.

Contest for Busy Programmers (Win a Free Book!)

There are a lot of good programming contests out there for PHP programmers to enter and win. Most of them require you to write a piece of code or solve a problem. There’s nothing wrong with that but programmers are busy people. So I’ve come up with a contest for busy programmers. Give blog about PHP Abstract and you could win a free book. Not just any book though, these are programming books. (you know the ones, when you go to check out at your favorite book store they charge you by the pound.)

Register to Win!

Ok, we just finished one contest, let’s kick off another one. For all those that register or have registered for a full conference pass before September 12th, one person will win three free nights at the Hyatt Burlingame.

and of course...The Winner

The entries are in. All have been carefully evaluated based on a laundry-list of criteria. As far as you know, we didn’t just dump all the names in a hat and draw one at random.

and of course...The Contest

My therapist says that my deep seated need to give things away stems from me watching too many re-runs of “WKRP”. Honestly, what male child of the 70s didn’t stand in front of the mirror with a hairbrush and pretend to be “Dr. Johnny Fever”? So to scratch my itch, let’s give away a ticket to ZendCon ‘07.

Contest! Write a small piece of sample code, win a free copy of Zend Studio

It’s a very poorly kept secret that Zend is working on an Eclipse based version of Zend Studio. They must be getting down to the ‘fit and finish’ pieces of the project because my buddy Yossi wrote me and asked me to enlist the help of the PHP community at large. So here’s his request.

PHP Programming Contest - Win a Copy of Zend Studio

There’s a new PHP contest and you know what that means, another chance for developers to get FREE STUFF. Nick Halstead is running a programming contest over at his blog and the grand prize is a free license of Zend Studio. In this contest you have to use PHP (4 or 5) to solve a specific problem of Nick’s own choosing.

Win a FREE Copy of Zend Studio

It’s high time we started giving some stuff away here on DevZone. What’s the point of having a web site if you can’t pretend it’s Mardi Gras once in a while and start flinging trinkets into the crowd?

phpthrowdown Update

Elizabeth Narimore, #phpc regular, founding member of phpwomen.org and all around nice person, has posted an update on the phpthrowdown programming contest. Come on in out of the cold and I’ll share what I know.

...Bake Me a Cake As Fast As You Can

Armando Sosa, the designer behind the uber-retro CakePHP website, formally announced the First Annual Baking Day Competition for the CakePHP framework. (Hmmmm....could it be that the term "Bake-off" trademaked by someone?)
