Seat sales for our php|tek 2008 conference, which will take place in Chicago, IL, between May 20th and 23rd, are starting to pick up, and over 40% of all available spots have already been reserved.

With your experience you've come to understand that there are lots of things that make software development rewarding. You want to work with languages and technologies that you enjoy, in an environment where you are valued, and with a team that gets stuff done. And not just any team--a team where there is real give and take, shares information and helps each person do better, together creating remarkable solutions for clients. Perhaps you haven't already worked in an agile software development atmosphere because of position constraints, but you really want to.

We're looking for someone who's collaborative and willing to share information. A problem solver who gets excited about creating new things. Someone who's comfortable with the concepts of "envision-explore-adapt" development lifecycles. Who wants to work with customers, too, in real-life situations. You must be a good communicator who can keep a project and the customer moving forward to a great solution..

Our client is a rapidly growing application developer with long-term clients. They believe in giving the customer maximum value. And they believe that each employee should be valued, too. They need a team-centered, experienced software developer to oversee important new projects from their excellent downtown-Chicago location.

The ideal candidate must have at least 4 years of experience as a developer. The candidate must be comfortable with evolutionary changes in the collaborative process in an agile development atmosphere. Using LAMP software tools, the candidate will lead a team to build customer solution suites. And, of course, previous experience with building and debugging PHP code and MySQL databases is a must. Responsibilities include some customer interaction and project oversight, from requirements gathering to delivery. The candidate should also be aware of junior team members and help them grow. The candidate should be looking for a home'"a place where people are respected; passion is rewarded; and creativity, flexibility, and collaborative structure feel good.

Chicago Illinois is the third largest city in the United States. It's also very different in personality and structure than other large US cities, taking on the rather laid back flavor that defines the Midwest, but also has the dubious distinction of being the "travel hub" of the United States. The size and travel possibilities made it an ideal location for the php|tek conference in May, hosted by php|architect.

She talks about the speakers, the location, people she met, keynotes (Rasmus and Marco Tabini) and tons of other great info. Check out the full post for the complete story.

The courses will take place starting January 2006 and be based on an extended, 4-day version of our popular PHP Essentials class.

The class teaches you how to program in PHP 5 in a 4 day course with information ranging from the basics up to advanced topics including XML, web services, and OOP programming. The days are broken up into six hour chunks, building in complexity as each day progresses. The cost for the course is $1995.99 USD/$2395.19 CAD.

They're also offering a special package for anyone not in the Chicago area to help with travel and lodging for $299 in top of the cost of the class. Check out the course's website for complete information.

Classes are coming up quick - January 30th, 2007 and February 27th, 2007 - so get your registration in now!
