Weekly roundup: towards the PHP world

Next week I will hopefully be able to return to PHP, after having taken my last exam of the bachelor program at Politecnico di Milano next Monday, and waiting for the graduation day on July 22th.
My thesis is complete, as it needs only an abstract and a cover. I will probably publish it in the future, as it contains a good panoramic of acceptance-functional-integration-unit test practices (in Italian).
In the meantime, I continue writing as planned for DZone. Here are my original articles published this week.

Practical PHP Patterns: Concrete Table Inheritance
Web services in Java
Practical PHP Patterns: Inheritance Mapping
Web MVC in Java (without frameworks)
