Professional PHP has thie opinions posted today about the latest show from the Pro-PHP Podcast - the interview with Andi Gutmans.

I enjoyed Friday's pro::PHP podcast interview with Andi Gutmans. With a name like pro::PHP how can I not like it? This was a less formal presentation than the Zend Framework webcast. Perhaps surprisingly informal for Andi, at least at the end. I thought Marcus Whitney did a great job selecting and asking questions. There were some technical difficulties in the live version. I hope those are worked out for the next broadcast, which I am looking forward to.

Now, the question is early February, or late February?

If you're confused about that last question, check out this post for the scoop. (According to a comment made by Andi, though, they're shooting for "mid-February")...

According to the interview Andi Gutmans just did with Marcus Whitney of the Pro-PHP Podcast, there's some news coming soon from Zend about the Framework.

We are going to roll out much more information in February, and we realize it's a bit scarce on information, to be honest, we just had too much to do on the development side, to start rolling out bits and pieces of information.

So, February we're going to roll out more information, we're going to have the preview version where people can play around with it. [...] There's a lot of work that still has to be done there. We're going to be posting more information and launching a Zend Framework site, where we're going to have CVS, and you can see the source code, you can see the manual, and so on. We are going to publish a roadmap so that people know where we're heading.

For the rest of the interview and more informtion about the Zend Framework, you can check out this interview, and for all of the details on this "preview release" of the Zend Framework, keep an eye here - we'll let you know as soon as we know...

For those that haven't gotten a chance to check out the Pro-PHP podcast interview with Andi Gutmans, Ben Ramsey has posted a few of his notes on it.

Today, PHP Architect and Pro PHP Podcast held their first live podcast (Interview with Andi Gutmans) since PHP Architect announced their 'œacquisition'� of the podcast. However, due to some technical difficulties, the live feed was canceled after about fifteen minutes into the interview, and the audience was unable to participate in the Q & A session at the end.

Nevertheless, I do have a few notes from the interview to share.

His notes include some of the talk on the Zend PHP Collaboration project (what it really is and how it's different from the frameowork), PHP competing with .NET, and some of the strengths that PHP has to offer...

On his blog today, Andi Gutmans has his side of things from the Pro-PHP Podcast show that was made the other day with host Marcus Whitney

Today Marcus Whitney hosted me on his Pro PHP Podcast show. I was really impressed by his professionalism and think he had some very good questions. I'd like to apologize to the people who were trying to listen in on the live session which was cancelled after I got cut off twice. There must have been some problem with the "conference" mode of the Podcast. When I redid the interview with Marcus directly, it all worked fine. For those who are interested, you can listen to the interview here.

If you have any further questions or comments, feel free to email me at andi@ you know where...

Many thanks to all for your patience on the reworking of the show. The bugs will get worked out for the next interview with the team behind the Symfony project...

Chris Shiflett has this post today about the partnership between php|architect and the Pro PHP Podcast.

You've probably heard the good news about the Pro PHP Podcast. The guys behind the show (Marcus Whitney and Chris Cornutt) are joining forces with php|architect in what should be a good thing for all of us.

So, I was very happy to hear about the partnership with php|architect, because I know this will let Marcus focus on the show. There are also regular newscasts planned, and Chris is asking, What do you want out of your news?
