I thought it might be good to have a thread where people can post links to helpful tutorials.
Here is one that I found yesterday which I think is useful for integrating in affiliate coupon deals.
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/caching-yql-and-regular-expressions/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+nettuts-summary+%28NETTUTS+Summary%29
Most affiliate networks have and API for getting a coupon feed, but that feed rarely changes through the day, so there is no need to blast it thousands of times a day. Instead you can setup a cache for a particular coupon feed. This tut also includes info on using YQL to query a variety of APIs. I highly recommend adding NetTuts to your RSS reader, they have a ton of great PHP and Javascript/jQuery tutorials. CSStricks.com is another great site.

Good article on Smashing today on A/B and Multivariate testing. I'm looking at doing this on my PT installation. Article and a couple links to tools.
