We are happily looking back on a great event and I want to thank Benjamin Schwertfeger and Dave Kliczbor form the Computer Sience faculty of the University of Dortmund for their engagement. Beside that, we want to thank all the attendees and my fellows form the PHP Usergroup Dortmund for coming and making this event such a great success! - A great success: PHP Weekender day 1 The first day of the PHP Weekender (the free-of-charge, 2-day PHP event organized by the PHP Usergroup Dortmund) just comes to an end and we are heading out for the social event. All in all, I have to say, it is a fantastic event and we are really happy about its success. - Last change: Know a lot about PHP in 2 days, for free! I just returned from vacation and realized, that the PHP Weekender (the free-of-charge workshop weekend for PHP enthusiasts, organized by the [http//phpugdo.de PHP Usergroup Dortmund]) has 90 verified, registered attendees so far. This is really cool, we never expected such a huge number of signups! Anyway, the PHP Weekender starts on upcoming Saturday, October 7th. If you did not register, yet, you should take your heels and run to our website, since we will only accept registrations until tomorrow 12:00 CET. - PHP Weekender reaches 50 attendee mark Today the PHP Weekender (our 2-day, 2-track, free-of-charge, PHP event in Dortmund) reached the 50 attendee mark (we only count attendees who verified their email address, yet, else we have almost 60 now). It is a great feeling for us to see how many people are interested. Since we are at the university, we have enough space left to get some more attendees in, but beware, space is already getting rare... So take your heels and sign up for a place at the PHP Weekender, because Dortmund is on PHP! :) - PHPUGDO proudly presents: The PHP Weekender It's been a good month, since the PHP Usergroup Dortmund asked for feedback on the idea of a PHP introduction workshop in Dortmund. Because of the huge masses of interessted people, we expanded the idea and are now going to make a 2 day, 2 track PHP introduction weekend, including 2 workshops and a lot of interessting sessions about topics like "XML handling", "Enterprise PHP", "SOA" and "Shell scripting. - Free eZ components sessions -2- [Update] I forgot that Wolfgang and me moved the dates for the sessions, because Wolfgang is on vacation and wants to take part in the sessions. Sorry for that! So, here are the correct dates: - PHPUGDO plans "PHP introduction workshop" 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. - PHP at FrOSCon report FrOSCon ended yesterday, but because the net was cut down too early, I could not blog this one. So I'm doing that now. - FrOSCon "eZ comonents" slides online I just commited the slides from my recent talk "Enterprise PHP development with eZ components". It should be online in a couple of minutes here. - FrOSCon "PHP best practices" slides online Kore and me held our talk about "PHP best practices" this morning at the Free and Open Source software Conference and were quite successful, AFAICT. There were about 50 attendees, which listened concentrated over the whole time. The talk contains an overview on how to behave when coding PHP in respect to
