Matthew Weier O'Phinney has posted an update on two things to his blog - that he will be speaking at this year's ZendCon and that new things have been posted from his Zend Framework & Dojo webinar the other day.

First off, you may now view my Dojo Webinar online (requires login and registration at zend.com). Attendance was phenomenal, and I've had some really good feedback. [...] Second, I've completed what I'm calling version 1.0.0 of the pastebin application I demo'd in the webinar. The PHP code is fully unit tested (though I haven't yet delved into using DOH! to test the JS), and incorporates a number of best practices and tips that Pete Higgins from Dojo was kind enough to provide to me.

This application can be downloaded directly from his site, ready to drop in and test with your local Zend Framework install.

The ThinkPHP blog points out a recorded (German-only) webinar that Stefan Esser did covering the creation of secure LAMP applications.

Unfortunately, this Webinar was in German, but if you understand German you might be interested in the Webinar recording which is now available at MySQL's website.

The webinar looks at previous attack types, things that MySQL already includes to help prevent SQL injections, handling multi-byte caharacters and correct error handling.

The Zend Developer Zone has reminder posted about some of the upcoming webinars brought to you from Zend on a wide range of topics:

• What's New in Zend Framework 1.6?
• Continuous Integration with PHPUnderControl Part 1
• Continuous Integration with PHPUnderControl Part 2
• Zend Framework and Dojo Integration

Zend has another great webinar coming up this Wednesday covering security in PHP applications hosted by Kevin Schroeder.

Security is not just important when you are doing financial transactions - an insecure Web site can be used by others for malicious purposes to launch attacks against other Web sites. There are a few must-knows for anyone who ventures out into the world of PHP Web development. In this webinar, Zend's Kevin Schroeder will focus on the absolute necessities when doing secure Web development.

You can register now and you'll be sent an email on where to go and when you can log in to get in on the conference. The webinar will be happening on July 2nd at 9am PDT/4pm GMT and will last for about an hour.

The Zend Developer Zone has posted one of the older webinars from Zend's "Webinar Wednesday" series to give you a taste of what they're like - Bill Karwin talking about the Zend Framework's database access functionality.

Zend sponsors Webinars every Wednesday covering a wide variety of topics of interest to PHP programmers. If you look over on the left sidebar [of the Zend Developer Zone site], you'll see the last five that have been published.

You can also keep up with the latest webinars by befriending the webinarzend user on Twitter. The next PHP-related webinar is coming up on July 2ns and will cover PHP security (Kevin Schroeder presenting).

If you weren't able to make it to yesterday's webinar from Zend and the Dojo group about their partnership, Matthew Weier O'Phinney is ready to hook you up with all of the details they presented.

We had our Zend Framework/Dojo integration QA today. Aside from some connectivity issues at the beginning of the presentation, things went smoothly, and there were some good questions.

He's made the slides both available for download directly and as a slideshow on Slideshare. He doesn't mention when the recording of the webinar will be out, but it shouldn't be too far off.

Zend will be hosting a webinar this morning for all those interesting in hearing about the new partnership between them and the Dojo framework to bring fully-developed javascript functionality to the Zend Framework.

Zend is excited to announce a partnership between Dojo and Zend Framework. The goal is to deliver a one-stop solution for building rich internet applications with PHP & Ajax. Zend's co-founder and chief technical officer Andi Gutmans discusses this announcement in-depth on his blog and Zend architect Matthew Weier O'Phinney also provides code samples and more details in a separate post.

The webinar will provide an overview of the integration that's going to happen and a bit of Q&A from those listening in. The event will be happening at 9am PDT/4pm GMT and you'll need to register to save your spot and get in.

Since the first stable version of the Zend Framework has been out for a while now (version 1.0), the Zend Developer Zone is starting up their own way to give back to the project - the The Big Q&A session about all things Zend Framework:

On April 30, 2008, Zend's very own Zend Framework team will make themselves available for a 2-hour Q&A session. You can submit your questions in advance here to give us an opportunity to think them over a bit, or you can surprise us with them during the webinar.

The webinar will be happening On April 30th at 9am PDT and will last about two hours, during which any and all (hopefully) questions about the framework will be answered.

Matthew Weier O'Phinney has also posted about it over on his blog.

There's an announcement over on the Zend Developer Zone today about the posting of a recorded webinar that Zend had concerning some of the latest updates to the Zend Framework - Zend_Layout and Zend_View enhancements.

The problem of maintaining a consistent look and feel while encouraging best practices is what Zend_Layout, as well as the Zend Framework 1.5 Zend_View enhancements, attempt to solve.

The recording (and accompanying slides) cover the updates made to these two components and how they help the goal of uniformity and give a "two-step" solution to make it happen. The presenter for the webinar was Ralph Schindler.

Matthew Weir O'Phinney has pointd out a webinar from Zend that he will be hosting on the Zend_Form component of the Zend Framework.

I'll be covering the design of Zend_Form, the basic usage and various classes and plugins available, and internationalization of your forms.

You can find out more about the event on its detail page on Zend's site (including an easy link to get you signed up). The webinar will be happening Wednesday March 5th at 9am Pacific Standard.
