Hi,
I just released a new PHP video podcast where I answer a few questions put to me about php. I answer these questions:
1. Do you need to learn the Zend Framework?
2. Do you need a PHP certificate?
3. How does PHP fit into Web 2.0.
I am using a totally new format for this video and would appreciate your comments, good and bad about it.
Thanks,
