31: Laravel, Code Bright and PHPandas with Dayle Rees
This episode we are very lucky to be joined by Dayle Rees, to discuss all things PHP, Laravel and Colour Schemes. Starting off conversation with how he got into PHP, we move on to his initial introduction to the Laravel framework - and his involvement during the development of versions 3 and 4. From there we touch upon his very popular text-editor colour schemes project, and how the Code Happy/Bright books came about. Finally, we discuss his new book ‘PHPandas’ which is currently being written, targeted at absolute beginners to software development.

29: Introduction to GNU/Linux and Distributions with Paul Bowden
This episode we are joined by Paul Bowden to talk all things Linux. We start of with the Linux vs. GNU/Linux vs. GNU/Linux/X debate, and layout what an Linux Operating System actually is composed of. With this foundation in place we move on to discuss the different types of distributions available, along with a host of Window Managers and Desktop Environments. Finally, we wrap up the show with some good advice to budding Linux converts, along with a brief detour into two popular ‘hardcore’ distributions (Gentoo and Arch).

27: Ramble On
In this weeks show we decided to have a good ramble about a couple of topics that have cropped us this week. Ranging from freelance experiences, cheese-based Lorem Ipsum text, and famous Albert Einstein quotes. By the end we start to discuss our personal software deployment strategies, briefly touching on Docker, which will be the topic of next weeks show.
