PHPUGDO plans "PHP introduction workshop"
=========================================

:Description:
    During our last usergroup meeting here in Dortmund (last Thursday), the
    idea came up to organize a "PHP introduction day", if there is enough
    interesst in the local area. The idea resulted from the success of Kores
    and my "PHP best practices talk" at FrOSCon. We generally thought about
    making a whole day event, where we will teach people PHP basics in the
    morning and some advanced stuff (like best practices, usage of components,
    etc.) in the afternoon. So I emailed the students mailinglist of our
    computer science faculty at university and our Linux AG mailinglist from
    university, if there is interesst. By now we have over 50 interessted
    people, which is really amazingly cool! The plans evolved further again
    and we think about making a 2 day event, where we provide PHP basisc on
    day 1 in the morning, then give people the chance to code a small
    application in the afternoon, where we give assistance (so a real
    "workshop"). On day 2 we will then teach the advanced section and let
    people also code a small app, using some advanced techniques, like OO
    patterns and component libraries.

This is all still in a very early planning stage, but maybe there are people
in the Ruhrgebiet area, which I did not reach by email so far, who have
interesst in such an event. If you do have interesst, please comment on this
blog entry or email me, so we can estimate the number of attendees. The event
will be free of charge and probably be held at the `University of Dortmund`__.

  Ich h?tte gro?es Interesse an diesem Workshop. Wird der Workshop in Deutsch

  Wann gibt es genauere Informationen wie Zeitpunkt usw. ?

- Toby at Thu, 20 Jul 2006 10:08:11 +0200

  Sobald wir mit der Planung weiter sind. Bisher haben wir erstmal nur
  Interessenbekundungen gesammelt. Ich denke in 1-2 Wochen wird es mehr Infos
  geben.

  Alles klar, dann schau ich hier immer mal wieder rein.
