Comments about oreilly PHP and Smarty on Large-Scale Web Development:
I found this okay. Basically, it's a persuasive article advocating the use of Smarty templates for large-scale and enterprise development. Then it delves into the MVC model for configuring and displaying web pages based on Smarty templates.
One thing I did like about this Shortcut is that it delved into caching, a sensible topic, as large websites need to have caching systems in place. It presented code and examples for caching Smarty templates.
