Connecting PHP to Microsoft Excel and LINQ with PHP

Peter Laudati & Dmitry Lyalin host the edu-taining Connected Show developer podcast on cloud computing and interoperability. Check out episode 22 “PHP LINQ Fest”.  Peter interviews Maarten Balliauw (Microsoft ASP.NET MVP) from Real Domen about two PHP-related open-source projects he has been working on: PHP LINQ & PHP Excel.

Also, Dmitry & Peter cover the news on WinCache for PHP 1.0, the release of Moonlight 2.0 (Silverlight for Linux), and having a good back up strategy!
