The PHPSPCast has released their latest episode (Episode #8) talking about frameworks - what they are and if you should use them in your application development (Note: the podcast is in Portuguese).

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.
