The Semantic Web is coming to a TYPO3 installation near you. During the TYPO3 Transition Days 2011 in Berlin a couple of Developers—including me—discussed about how to implement some aspects of the Semantic Web Stack for TYPO3. One of the first outcome is the new Extension “semantic” providing a SPARQL Client.

Inspired by the SPARQL Query Result Parser written by Daniel Alexander Smith and published on the Enakting Blog, I just wrote an implementation in PHP. It utilizes the performant event based XML parser of PHP.

Writing a book is a huge project. I never believed those people saying “Just double the time of your first estimate”. Now, after the book is finally available I would say they are wrong. You have to increase it threefold.
The book about Extbase and Fluid was written in close collaboration with Sebastian Kurfürst (core developer of Fluid) and Inken Kiupel (reader). We hope that it encourages the developers of TYPO3 extensions to get in touch with the fascinating concepts of FLOW3. And we hope that the book eases the migration to TYPO3 v5 (that’s what Extbase is all about).
We are aware of the fact that many of the English speaking TYPO3 developers are eagerly waiting for more Books about Extbase and Fluid published in English. Sebastian Kurfürst and I are currently investigating the best way to to get the book translated into English to be published on typo3.org.
If you have any questions regarding the book, or found some typos (at least 3), feel free to use the comments facility (if it is positive ;-) ) or write me an e-mail. I am really looking forward to hear from you.

It falls into different (sub)layers — each of the with different responsibilities. Let’s start our journey from the top level. read more »
