phpDay 2012 Report
May 30, 2012 @ 14:57:05

On the ServerGrove blog today Pablo Godel has posted his wrapup of this year's phpDay/JsDay conferences that happened last week in Verona, Italy.

Last week I returned from Verona, Italy where I spent a full week with some of the best Javascript and PHP developers out there. I’ve been wanting to go to phpDay for a number of years so when I was invited to present a talk about Symfony2 and MongoDB, there were no more excuses, I had to be there!

Pablo talks about the sessions he attended (at both JsDay and phpDay) including Zeev Suraski's (Zend) keynote, a talk from Lorenzo Alberton about "Taming the Twitter Firehose" and his own presentation about MongoDB and Symfony2. He also mentions the second day's keynote from Rasmus Lerdorf and a workshop about building PHP extensions.

Interview with Giorgio Sironi
May 09, 2012 @ 16:28:19

On the phpDay conference site today they've posted their latest interview with one of the speakers for this year's event - some questions with Giorgio Sironi.

This is the ninth ‘social’ interview in a series with the phpDay 2012 speakers: it’s ‘social’ because the questions have been submitted and voted online on Facebook. We are happy to introduce you Giorgio Sironi, a freelance PHP developer and PHPUnit_Selenium mantainer.

The questions cover a wide range of topics including:

  • His thoughts about functional programming
  • What he thinks of traits in PHP 5.4
  • Which open source projects he follows the most
  • What features he'd like to see in future versions of PHP

You can read the full interview here. You can also find out more about this year's conference (and get your tickets - hurry! it's next week!) on the main conference site.
