In this edition I talked with Manuel Lemos who is the founder of the famous and huge PHPClasses.org. @ManuelLemos has been rambling a lot about PHP, doing all sorts of stuffs on phpclasses back since 1999 - podcasts, interviews, sharing scripts, writing scripts, blogging, shouting and I even doubt he drinks-eats-sleeps there too (just to say how much he is hooked in there).

In the interview he answers questions about:

• His background and how he got started with PHP
• What he sees as the good and bad parts of the language
• Some suggestions for developers wanting to learn
• What frameworks/unit testing tool and CMS he recommends

There's also a section more specifically focused on the Brazilian PHP community, PHP conferences and some of the things he's learned in his time in the wider PHP community.

In this episode Chris Cornutt talks about his project sites PHPDeveloper.org PHP news site and Joind.in for promoting interaction between speakers and attendants of PHP conferences and other types of events. A list of other worth listening podcasts for PHP developers was covered. An interesting discussion was also held about the pros and cons of using Flex/Flash versus HTML 5/JavaScript in PHP Web applications.

Co-hosts Ernani Joppert and Manuel Lemos talk about additions to the PHPClasses.org site, the Innovation Award winner, Flex and the PHPDeveloper.org/Joind.in projects.
