Jun 22, 2015 @ 16:08:48

The PHP Town Hall podcast, as hosted by Phil Sturgeon and Ben Edmunds, has posted their latest episode today - Episode 42: Paul and Vance. They're joined by guests Paul Dragoonis and Vance Lucas to talk several various subjects including their work and contributing to PHP.net.

After a little hiatus Phil and Ben back at it, joined this time by Paul Dragoonis and Vance Lucas. Paul does some fairly call stuff, manages the PPI framework and contributes to building the actual PHP.net website, the poor sod. Paul is also the winner in the “PHP developers from the UK who are hard to understand” contest two years running, only beating Phil to the title due to being slightly better at handling his booze. Vance works at NetSuite and has open-sourced a bunch of code things, most notably phpdotenv and frisby.

You can listen to this latest episode in a few different ways: through either the in-page audio or video player, by downloading the mp3 or subscribing to their feed. You can also follow them on Twitter to keep up with new updates and episodes as they're released.

7PHP.com:
Interview With PPI - The PHP Meta-Framework
Feb 18, 2013 @ 16:28:23

On the 7PHP.com site today they've posted the latest in their interview series, this time with Paul Dragoonis about his PPI framework. The PPI framework is an open source meta-framework made up of the good parts of components from Zend Framework v2, Symfony2 and Doctrine2.

If you are pretty much hooked to The PHP World and like to keep abreast with PHP frameworks, you have surely heard of The PHP Meta Framework called as The PPI Framework. It is said to be moulded by "taking the good bits from Symfony 2, ZendFramework 2 & Doctrine 2". PPI is creating quite some buzz around the PHP sphere recently; even The Symfony Super-man, Fabien Potencier, himself mentioned PPI in one of his article. That said, it sure promises some good things with a different approach. To have an idea about all these and to feed the curious minds (like myself) , I had a PPI chat with its creator: Paul Dragoonis.

They cover lots of things about the framework including:

  • When the project started and what it solves
  • What encouraged him to start a new framework project
  • Paul's thoughts about why someone should choose PPI
  • What kind of time he spends on the project
  • Some of his thoughts about dependencies in the framework
  • Some of the good and bad things about the project so far
