Zend PHP Conference
-
There is definitely some excitement in the air now that the Zend PHP Conference is less than a week away (Oct. 18th – 21st). I’m happy to say that I’ll be attending the conference, along with the rest of the US-based Zend staff, and I am greatly looking forward to it. There are a host of interesting talks promoting PHP use in the enterprise, from both business leaders and tech luminaries.
On the business front, Zend has somehow managed to corral an impressive lineup of industry leaders, all anxious to pump PHP for business. Among them are Marc Andreessen of Netscape fame, Ken Jacobs from Oracle, Rod A. Smith from IBM, and Adam Bosworth from Google.
For developers, this promises to have one of the best tech lineups of any recent conference, with many PHP core team members presenting. Among the talks I hope to attend are Unicode support in PHP 6, PDO: PHP Data Objects, Service Data Objects for PHP, and Oracle and PHP.
Before we start bouncing between all of these great talks, Matthew Weier O’Phinney and I will be giving a tutorial session on Setting up PHP.
If you haven’t signed up for the conference yet, there’s still time to register!
Update: Slides (PDF) from the session are now available.
