The next article, "Managing Layout with PHP-GTK 2", in the PHP-GTK 2 series on PHP|Architect's A/R/T article repository is available.

A new article on the evolution of PHP-GTK has been posted on PHP|Architect’s A/R/T. A/R/T is PHP|A’s new companion repository for their magazine. It is a collection of articles and tutorials that allows them to be more focused and indepth than their regular magazine. The articles are all freely available and cover a wide range of topics. This article is a first in a series of PHP-GTK articles. My goal is to start with PHP developers that have never heard of PHP-GTK and slowly but surely get them to the point where they can develop their own PHP-GTK apps with minimal [...]
