Episode 6: PSR-X and the Mexican Standoff

Posted on April 19, 2013 by admin

PHP-FIG member Paul M. Jones and PHP contributor Anthony Ferrera come on the podcast with Ben, Phil and regular guest Zack Kitzmiller to discuss the new Package Orientated Autoloader Proposal (a.k.a PSR-X), and wether or not PSR’s should ever be amended.

Paul explains why the new PSR-X is a handy idea for those who are already PSR-0 users, or even those that aren’t, Zack flips a shit and gets bored of talking about standards wishing everyone could just use Python and their awesome PEP-8, we convince Paul to try swearing for once and we all try badgering Anthony into agreeing with us for some reason.

Nobody wins, but the argument brings up a lot of interesting topics and points of view, and that is mostly what we are here for.

Episode 109: Typescript and a bit more…

Posted on April 16, 2013 by admin

Heading off to Russia for a bit – if there’s anything you think I should see when I’m there, let me know :)

Saw a good presentation on TypeScript recently, which has piqued my interest – hopefully it piques yours as well.   This blog post from techempower shows the results on testing more than two dozen web framework/configurations – where’s your favorite?  Finally, intro.js gives you a quick way to add guided tours to your websites – clean and simple.

Also, Jetbrains has an ‘earth day’ sale this week – get up to 50% off an editor of your choice.  And Zend Studio 10 was recently released and is also 50% off its normal price.

div style=margin-top: 1exBy Manuel Lemos/a/div
div style=margin-top: 1exThe current PHP feature voting process causes problems to those that do not know why features are approved or rejected by each voter. A better solution was proposed to require justification for each feature vote.br /
br /
This was one of the main topics discussed by Manuel Lemos and Cesar Rodas on the episode 34 of the Lately in PHP podcast.br /
br /
They also discussed about the latest PHP releases, updating PHP with minimized downtime, as well how brilliant are some developers for creating pure PHP components that overcome PHP limitations without upgrading to a newer PHP version.br /

Episode 5 – PHPness Gate, Sexism and Mental Illness

Posted on March 4, 2013 by admin

This was a tricky episode where we talk about some big genuine issues that affect PHP developers around the world, and we talked a lot about a t-shirt.

After Chris Hartjes cheated on his /dev/hell podcast by joining us in Episode 3, Chris’ partner in crime Ed “Funkatron” Finkler decided to get revenge and come on the show.

Our other guest Miko Federmann is a brilliant PHP and C developer who is a friend of Phil and Ben. She joins us on the show to discuss the recent hullabaloo known as “PHPness Gate” and the obviously connected issue of sexism in the industry.

The second half of the show is Ed talking through how he personally deals with some of his own issues and gives tips to how other people can do the same.

Next month we’ll be back to bitching about something, telling you about new awesome PHP projects and using lots of swears, promise!
