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.)

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.

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.

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.

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?
