Chris Shiflett has his own wrapup posted today for the ApacheCon 2005 conference that just finished.

Despite the heavy emphasis on Java at this year's ApacheCon, I still enjoyed the conference and learned a lot.

I got to see Rasmus Lerdorf's talk, and you can also view his slides online: Large-Scale PHP. Rasmus actually covered many topics, including Ajax, Flickr, and Yahoo Maps. It felt like he was just having fun and talking about the cool things he's been playing with recently. You can see more of his toys on his toys page, which is the closest thing he has to a blog.

He also mentions some of the other "standard presenters" and their presentations, like:

• Andrei Zmievski on Unicode
• Adam Trachtenburg on Web Services
• Christian Wenz on Web Application Security
