Those that didn't get a chance to check out this year's PHP UK Conference can get a little taste of what it was like from Rob Allen's perspective in his latest blog post today.   Included in the happenings he mentions were the talk that Cal Evans of the Zend Developer Zone gave on mashups, Kevin Henney's look at Object Orientation, and Rasmus Lerdorf's look at PHP5 performance/security. He also mentions meeting up with Dagfinn Reiersol (author of PHP in Action) to "talk shop" a bit about writing books.   You can check out all of the details about the conference that was over on their website including summaries of the talks that were given during this jam-packed one day event.

Ben Ramsey, a speaker at both the Zend/PHP Conference 2006 and the International PHP Conference 2006, has posted a monster wrap up for both events to his blog today.   This post is long overdue, but I was finally able to sit down and type out my thoughts about the Zend/PHP Conference and Expo and the International PHP Conference.    First up is his look at the Zend conference - largely a good experience. He specifically mentions the talk from Rob Richards, the "Extending PHP" tutorial session (with Sara and Marcus), and the infamous misunderstanding about his laptop bag (which was resolved shortly after the conference had concluded).   His experience with the International PHP Conference went equally well, despite the location of the event being slightly more out of the way than some liked. He comments on the excellent conference materials provided, the types of attendees, and some of the talks he attended - Aaron Wormus' "Mastering enterprise-level PHP tools PEAR, PhpDocumentor and testing" and Sata Golemon's "Navigating Streams" being among them. If you like to check them out, he's also posted some photos of the conference and a night out around the town he took.

Vineet Agrawal sent us along an email today about a new event happening at this year's OSSCampDelhi - Delhi's first PHP Unconference:    India's first community driven PHP Camp is on 08-09 September 2007.  PHP Camp is part of India's biggest Open Source UnConference "OSS Camp".  More than 300 Geeks from across the world are expected to participate.    PHP Camp will bring together the PHP community in a distinctly un-conference setting, to gather in groups to discuss or hack on something, rather than sitting in chairs and listening to marketing presentations with corporate logo.  It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants.  Participation is free of cost!  OSS Camp is based on philosophy of Bar Camp .  Barcamp is an ad-hoc gathering born out of the desire for people to meet up, share, exchange ideas and possibilities in an open environment.   At OSS Camp there are no RULES, FIXED Formats, where open source geeks run the show!!   Some of the tracks for PHP camps are Frameworks, Unit Testing, PHP Security, Performance Management, High Availability beside product specific themes like Joomla, Drupal, EZ, Dot Project camps.      You can find out more information from the wiki for the event and, if you're interested in presenting, head over to the submissions page and provide the info for your session (around 40 minutes for a normal talk, 90 minutes for a workshop).

php|architect has two new posts concerning their upcoming php|works conference (in Atlanta, Sept 13-14th) - cone concerning the Call for Papers and the other about a special offer when you register for the conference.   First, the Call for Papers reminder:   There is only one week left for the Call for Papers period for our great upcoming conference php|works 2006. [...] If you have a good idea for a talk, we'd love to hear from you before the Call for Papers is over on June 27th. We offer a great compensation package for speakers that includes a stipend for each talk or tutorial given, as well as an allowance for most travel expenses. We're looking forward to receiving your proposals!   And the special training offer:    Get a free training course valued at $769 when you sign up for a php|works full package. Hurry-space is limited! [...] it's next-to-impossible to come up with a good PHP course that can take place in a single day, both because of the great number of topics to cover and because there is only so much that a person can cram in a single day.   Luckily, we have a solution! For a limited time, we are giving every php|works attendee access to one of our popular training courses free when they sign up for a full conference package!    To get more information on this deal, check out this page on the php|architect site. For more information on the conference, check out its site for location details and to get registered today!

Aaron Wormus has a new note on his blog today about his presentation at this year's Zend/PHP Conference & Expo and another speaker he's excited to hear.    One of the Zend conference sessions that I'm pretty excited about is Don Samisa Abeysinghe's (of WSO2) "Fully Fletched Web Services with PHP".   I'll be presenting a session on "Moving to PHP5 with Style." This tutorial/case study will be based on experience in transitioning several codebases from PHP4 to PHP5, creating unit tests & started a move towards a service based architecture without a complete platform rewrite.    Aaron's talk fits under the banner of the "PHP Development" talks, including others on topics like hosting PHP applications on Windows, working with PDO, unicoding in PHP6, and using PHPUnit.

Paul Jones has posted a teaser concerning his talks(s) at the upcoming php|works conference this year. One is about organizing your applications to make them easier to maintain and work better and the other is a follow up to some previous benchmarks he created comparing several of the popular PHP frameworks.   About The Benchmarking Talk - Easy one-liner: "Statistical Histories for Fun and Profit." And I do mean profit: the better your apps runs on a given stack, the more eyeballs you get on your ads (or, the more users you can handle).   He will be talking about why benchmarking your app is important, how to benchmark a framework and, the thing everyone's waiting for - his benchmark stats comparing several popular frameworks.   Paul also requests that, if possible, one developer from the teams of each of the other frameworks (besides Solar of course) could be in attendance to critique the talk and help point out issues either with the talk or in his methods.
