Because the System i can run at redline speed all day long . . .
I recently did a Q&A with Don Denoncourt about how PHP fits into a System i world, which I encourage you to download and listen to Don is a sharp guy with tons of Java, WebSphere, and System i experience, and he can cover a lot of ground in an easily understandable way.
You won't get our entire session in the podcast, though, because we had to make some tough cutting decisions to pare down the length; however, the remaining content is still great, and I've posted it here.
In the normally published podcast, Don covers the basics of PHP, the history and a brief description of the language, the Java-related considerations, the LAMP stack and how the System i and DB2 fits into it, as well as what System i programmers should do if they want to get started with PHP.
The content we cut, which is only available on Maxed Out, covers OS/400-specific PHP APIs, IDEs, and PHP frameworks. Enjoy!
