formapro/pvm is a PHP library for building workflows and business processes. Â This is a nice addition to alternatives that I’ve looked at in “Getting started with workflows in PHP“. Â The library is brought to you by Forma Pro, the same guys who are behind the php-enqueue enterprise queuing solution in PHP.
PHP Internals Book provides some insight into how PHP works internally. Â It currently covers PHP 5, with PHP 7 update coming soon. Â If you are eager to help, the book is available under Creative Commons on GitHub.

List of cognitive biases is probably the single most useful resource on practical psychology that I’ve seen in my life.
Cognitive biases are tendencies to think in certain ways that can lead to systematic deviations from a standard of rationality or good judgment, and are often studied in psychology and behavioral economics.
Although the reality of these biases is confirmed by replicable research, there are often controversies about how to classify these biases or how to explain them. Some are effects of information-processing rules (i.e., mental shortcuts), called heuristics, that the brain uses to produce decisions or judgments. Such effects are called cognitive biases. Biases have a variety of forms and appear as cognitive (“cold”) bias, such as mental noise, or motivational (“hot”) bias, such as when beliefs are distorted by wishful thinking.
