SUMMARY:PHP: The Good Parts
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Chris Shiflett (OmniTI), Sean Coates (OmniTI). 
 PHP has a reputation for being poorly designed and inconsistent. This re

 his criticism is deserved, but some parts—The Good Parts—keep us coming 
 back for more. Join us as we discuss the reasons why PHP powers most of 
 the Web despite its flaws.
