A funny thing just happend, nettuts has just listed my first article about FirePhp published by six revisions in their  "Best of the Web- July" round up.

The "Best of the Web- July" is a round up of the best web development tutorials published on July.

The funny thing is that long before I knew about six revisions, Jeffrey, the almighty nettuts editor refused to publish this article only to later mention it as one the best on the web!!

It turns out that the hippie side of me has won, although selling the software was a fun experience it was not what I really want.

Instead of forcing you to buy, I’m now a trusting hippie and hope that if you use and find my code useful you will say thanks!

 

So enjoy the code, it’s now available as an FSF approved license!
