Laura Thomson points out that she and Luke Welling will be presenting their "PHP Best Practices" talk at the upcoming ApacheCon (in Atlanta, Georgia starting November 12th).

This is a half day tutorial which we try to tailor to what people want to hear about on the day. We'll get into the nitty gritty of writing clean, fast, secure code.

Registration for this year's event is still open and there'll be other PHP-related talks including Christian Wenz's look at web services and Chris Shiflett's "Writing Secure Web Applications with PHP".

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

In this latest post on Adam Trachtenburg's blog today, he talks about the (just ended) ApacheCon and mentions his slides along the way.

I got back from jApacheCon last night. I like the show, but the ASF has certainly shifted over the years from programs written in C (httpd, mod_perl, PHP) to programs written in Java (Ant, Axis, Beehive, Cocoon, Geronimo, Jakarta, Struts, etc.). This has caused the show to have an increasingly large amount of Java content.

This has caused the PHP crowd to dub ApacheCon with new names. Chris prefers JApacheCon; Andrei likes JAvacheCon; I want either ApacheCon4J or jApacheCon. However, Day 3 was a nice mix of PHP, Ruby, and Michael’s httpd talks.

His talk, "Consuming Web Services Using PHP 5" and was well recieved by the conference-goers. It looks briefly at REST and SOAP, with a few demos of each and a progression on the SOAP side ending up with his eBay Motors Google Maps mashup. You can get the slides here (PDF).
