The Voices of the ElePHPant podcast has posted it's latest episode - an interview with Sean Coates (of Gimmie Bar).

Cal asks Sean his three questions about various projects and topics he's involved with:

• Can you talk to us about what you see about the process of how PHP is developed and is this a positive or a negative?
• Can you give us a quick synopsis of why Gimmie Bar moved from CouchDb to MongoDb and are you still confident that it was the right decision?
• Can you talk a bit about your experience with Node.js?

You can listen to this episode either using the in-page player, by downloading the mp3

Sean Coates has posted a post-Advent wrapup after he and Chris Shiflett have posted the final PHP Advent article for 2010.

As I write this on Christmas Eve, Chris is putting the finishing touches on PHP Advent 2010. [...] Due only to the abilities and professionalism of our most excellent authors, PHP Advent 2010 was - at least in my opinion-the best year, yet. They wrote wonderful, substantial, punchy articles that informed our readers, and generated significantly more traffic than we've seen in previous years: over 70,000 views, from more than 25,000 unique visitors, so far

He also recounts a few stories from the Advents in years past - the difficulties he and Chris went through to get things organized and ready for publication and how, in 2009 some things almost didn't happen. This year's advent has come back stronger than ever with great articles on:

• Aspect Oriented Design
• Working with Text and Media Files
• Streams
• and Managing LAMP applications

Sean Coates and Paul Reinheimer, the hosts of the Pique Web podcast, have released the latest episode - Episode 7 - Christmas Stories.

In this episode a few friends sit around a table, share some great beer, and share user-submitted stories of coding in the first person.

Topics mentioned in this episode include:

• Chris Shiflett's article on Google Web Accelerator
• Russian roulette for bash
• Firefox extensions to automate SQL injection testing

You can either listen via the in-page player or by downloading the mp3 for listening at your convenience.

Good news for all of the fans of the PHP Advent article series that comes around this time each year - Chris Shiflett has confirmed it'll be happening again this year.

PHP Advent is our little way of showcasing some of the talented people who work with PHP in some form or fashion, and persuading them to share something they've learned during a busy month when they might otherwise keep quiet. We'll be publishing an article each day in December until Christmas.

If you're new to the PHP Advent (or advent-type article calendar things), check out last year's articles from lots of great members of the PHP community covering everything from development processes, technology tips and parenting.

The Pique Web podcast has released their latest episode that includes a recap of the Brooklyn Beta conference that happened back in October.

Other topics mentioned include Goodsie, Moontoast, Gimmie Bar and Map Along. You can either listen to this latest episode using the in-page player or you can grab the mp3 directly.

Its the holiday season and even the PHP community is getting into the spirit. Much like last year, >Chris Shiflett (joined this time by >Sean Coates) have created this year's PHP Advent calendar.

From Chris Shiflett's blog:

Is it December again already? I like good traditions, so with the help of Sean and many others, PHP Advent is back again, this time with its own domain. I would call it a web site, but that might be stretching the truth at the moment. Jon is going to help us out with a simple design in the very near future. The focus, of course, is the quality content from our gracious authors.

The December 1st post for this year is one by yours truely - You Need the PHP Community. For more great content as the month goes on, you can keep up either through their feed, on Twitter or just by heading over to the site each day.
