SaniSoft Blog: PHPCamp 2010 '" My view
by Chris Cornutt January 27, 2010 @ 12:40:06
In a recent post to the SaniSoft blog Aditya Mooley shares some experiences from this year's PHP Camp in Pune, India (back on January 9th, 2010).
Scheduled in October 2009 initially, it was postponed due Swine Flu. Nearly 2000 including PHP professionals, newbie and students registered for the event. The numbers were really overwhelming for the (un)conference entering only its second year. This year I got a chance to attend the event and deliver talks on what SANIsoft is best known for '" CakePHP and writing secure PHP apps.
Aditya talks about the venue - good except for a few issues with the size of some rooms - and a well coordinated setup for signing up for the unconference slots. He gave his talk on CakePHP but there was a wide range of other technologies represented including Silverlight, Microsoft's developer tools and Flex.

Echolibre Blog: Recommended PHP Standards Group
by Chris Cornutt June 09, 2009 @ 10:23:12
On the echolibre blog there's a recent post looking at the recent meeting of the (Recommended) Standards Group at this year's php|tek:
This post will briefly discuss the formation of a Recommended PHP Standards Group, as put forward by a meeting of PHP developers at the conference. As would be expected, a bit of controversy surrounds this proposal, but my hope would be that it would be accepted and grow within the global PHP community in the coming years.
He talks about those in attendance and a sneak preview of some of the standards they're talking about - like those dealing with namespacing and exception naming.

PHPWomen.org: PHPUK 2009 - A Review
by Chris Cornutt March 10, 2009 @ 12:06:08
Recently Alex Luneburg attended the PHP UK 2009 conference in London. She's written up a great summary of the entire event for the PHP Women website.
For anyone thinking that PHP conferences are full of dry technically laborious talks attended by rows and rows of pasty sun-starved bespectacled boys, thus making them a completely unapproachable unappealing yawn-fest then I'd say think again!
She talks about some of her expectations (set a bit low) and how they were smashed - in a good way - in everything from the quality of the talks to the social interaction between her and other attendees. She mentions some of the talks specifically including one of her favorites, Chris Shiflett's Security-Centered Design.
So to anyone who's never thought of going to a conference before, or who hasn't yet plucked up the courage then I really encourage you to go! [...] If someone like me can go and have such a good time and get so much out of it then I really can't think of any excuse for anyone else not to go too!
