PHP Abstract has a new episode! This time I’m talking with Paul Tomlinson about Torpor, a new ORM persistence abstraction layer for PHP. He talks about the reasons behind making this new layer, and how it’s features compare to other similar solutions. []
And PHP Abstract is on a role. 3 weeks in a row! In this episode I chat (in a noisy bar) with Travis Swicegood about Git. He gives a number of compelling reasons as he tries to sway everyone away from CVS and SVN. []
One more PHP Abstract coming at you! In this episode I took Ed Finkler of Funkatron Productions aside while at php|tek in Chicago and got to talk with him briefly about his work on Spaz, one of the original twitter clients. []
