I enjoyed Friday’s pro::PHP podcast interview with Andi Gutmans. With a name like pro::PHP how can I not like it? This was a less formal presentation than the Zend Framework webcast. Perhaps surprisingly informal for Andi, at least at the end. I thought Marcus Whitney did a great [...]
Podcast interview with Andi Gutmans
January 30th, 2006Building a culture of objects in PHP
January 13th, 2006This is a follow up post to Why isn’t PHP the natural successor to Java?

Zend Framework Webcast
December 5th, 2005I guess I missed the Zend PHP Framework webcast on Friday. I was looking forward to it, but I signed up a while ago and forgot about it. By the time I got the reminder email, it was too late. Fortunately, the recording is now available. If you have an interest [...]
