Evil WebDAV, XML and XPath at IPC SE 2009
=========================================

:Description:
    I gave 2 sessions at this years IPC SE: A half-day workshop on XML with PHP,
    with special focus on XPath. And "WebDAV - the good, the bad and the evil",
    where I dug into the WebDAV protocol and the pitfalls of implementing a WebDAV
    server. Find and browse the slides directly online, here.

**Update** 2009-05-29: Added direct download links for presentations due to
popular demand.

I gave 2 sessions at this years `IPC SE`__: A half-day workshop on XML with PHP,
with special focus on XPath, and *WebDAV - the good, the bad and the evil*,
where I dug into the WebDAV protocol and the pitfalls of implementing a WebDAV
server. I decided to host my slides on Slideshare__ for the first time now, let's
see if this will become the default.

IPC was great so far (it is still running, though), especially Berlin as the
location was amazing. It was fun meeting lots of my friends again, the talks
went quite well and even the hotel was good. So long, I'll be back in November.

----------------------
XML and XPath with PHP
----------------------

XML and its related technologies are ubiquitous in todays web development. PHP
offers many ways to create and process XML content. This workshop will give you
an overview on the most important XML extensions for PHP, focusing on the use
of XPath in cooperation with them. Do you still scrape web content using
regular expressions? Ever wondered you people do all those nifty operations in
their XSLTs? Don't know, what axis are in terms of XPath? If you can answer any
of the questions above with "yes" or are simply interested in XPath and XML in
PHP, you should join this session.

Webdav - The good, the bad and the evil
---------------------------------------

WebDAV is a cool invention for users. It allows them to easily edit content on
the web, using their default file browser or a dedicated WebDAV client.
However, the WebDAV RFC is basically a Big Ball Of Mud and many clients do not
behave RFC conform at all. This session gives you an overview on HTTP and
WebDAV and shows you the pitfalls you need to ship around when implementing a
server. It concludes with a short insight on the architecture of the eZ Webdav
component and how this solves the shown issues.
