Yesterday, Pádraic Brady, posted on his blog The Art Of Deception Or Publishing PHP6 Books pointing mainly to a book published by wrox titled Professional PHP 6. If unicode is most awaited feature in PHP6, all other features have been implemented in 5.2 and 5.3

Shame on all publishers guilty of this silliness. To anyone in the market for a PHP book, stick to the bargain bins and second hand stores until a genuine PHP 5.3 book is released (that actually covers PHP 5.3's new features mind!). The real PHP6 books are probably years away but PHP 5.3 looks to be a great release with plenty of new features..next Tuesday!

Today I was reading on his blog also, a response from Wrox publishing. Wrox proved that they are listening and that's what make them one of the best publishers for professional technical books. Jim Minatel, Associate Publisher - wrox, wrote in an email to Pádraic :

...First, I've asked the team involved with Beginning PHP6 scheduled to ship to the printer this week to pull that book back, to read your post and the subsequent twitter discussion and to make sure we aren't making the same mistake a third time. I want the author and editors to provide a level of confidence that the PHP6 features that should be covered are, that the discussion of the current state of PHP6 is accurate, and the that the title, subtitle, and marketing copy on the book and online accurately reflects what is and isn't covered...

Pádraic you are not the only one impressed with wrox, I'm sure !
