May 14, 201424: Understanding Character Sets and Encodings
Having only just recently been bit by the character encoding issue again, we thought it would be a good time to bring it up on the podcast.
Starting from the beginning with ASCII, we move on to discuss how 8-bit compatible machines brought way to the ISO-8859-* standards.
This leads us on to Unicode, with the goal to develop a single character-set encoding standard that could support all of the world’s scripts.
Finally, we discuss the de-factor character encoding implementation used on the web today ‘UTF-8’, and reasons why this is the case.

April 16, 201420: Delving into Laravel
In this weeks show we follow up the discussion on CodeIgniter with an introduction to Laravel.

Starting with a brief history of the project and how it has evolved, we move on to highlight key features of the framework that set it apart.
One such inclusion is the extensive use of an IoC container, and how Facades cater for an expressive code-base.
