PHP Programming on the Mac

Mark Fenoglio has over 12 years of experience in database and web-based application development in technologies ranging from SQL Server and PostgreSQL to PHP, Ajax, Cocoa, Objective-C, and ASP. He was hired by The Big Nerd Ranch in September 2005 after asking too many annoying questions at the Cocoa Bootcamp that March. To support his PHP development efforts, he has crafted his own PHP application framework. Fenoglio's framework features a PostgreSQL-friendly ORM and predicate library, a lightweight template-based rendering engine, and an innovative workflow approach to application design. He holds an M.S. in Geophysics from Stanford.
