The PHPSPCast team finally manages to escape from their captivity and returns to discuss one of the most requested topics: Frameworks. What are frameworks and what is their role in your day to day development? Let's discuss in this episode all aspects of a framework, advantages and disadvantages. So we will open space to discuss each framework independently in future podcasts.

They were joined by Guilherme Blanco, a well-known developer on the Doctrine ORM project. You can listen to this latest episode either using the in-page player, by downloading it directly or by subscribing to their feed.

Saving the biggest news for last, Adler Medrado has translated my tutorial into Brazillian Portuguese! Thank you very much Adler! I've said it before, and no doubt will say it again, I'm still very humbled that people think enough of my little tutorial to translate it. You guys are amazing.

You can grab this and other translations (including Simplified Chinese, French, German, Polish and Italian) from this page on Rob's blog.
