Ajax for Web Application Developers Source Code

I have great news... The source code for Ajax for Web Application Developers is now available for download on Studio Sedition. http://www.studiosedition.com/publications

Today I spoke with Sams Publishing regarding issues with readers getting access to the code on their web site and they are allowing me to add the source code to my web site. They also said that the source code will be available directly on the book page of their web site.

To everyone who has had issues getting the source code, I truly apologize.

PHP 5 installation on Windows 2003/IIS 6

Since I have had such a fun time installing PHP 5 on a Windows 2003 server/IIS 6 this weekend, I thought that I would share the fun with you all. I have installed PHP many, many times, but this one was a real pain... The short answer is to follow the directions at: http://tinyurl.com/m8uud and get the downloads from http://us.php.net/downloads.php. There are many explainations on the downloads page at php.net and I did many searches on Google, but this is the only one that worked for this server. Hope this helps someone save the time I lost.
