By popular demand, we have extended the early-bird special for our upcoming CodeWorks tour until Monday, October 4th in order to give everybody an opportunity to sign up for one (or more!) of the tour stops for the low, low, low price of $75 (or even cheaper if you get in with groups of five or more).

They'll be in lots of cities all around the country putting on a one-day event talking about things like building APIs and putting your development tools to work. Check out the event website for more details on the cities they'll be in and how you can get your ticket.

CodeWorks 2010 (CWX for short) is a series of one-day technical conferences presented by the php|architect team and sponsored by Adobe. It's slated to stop in five cities, starting November 9th. [...] Each stop features talks presented by the php|a gang on various PHP-related topics, including object orientation, scalability, security, development tools and efficiently building your own APIs.

And from Keith Casey, a presenter on the tour:

This time around we've simplified the whole thing. The team is smaller. The format is simpler. And we're limiting the cities a bit more. We have four people doing 6 presentations on one track across five cities in a span of 10 days. If you've ever been to a tech conference, you know how much effort it can be.

For more information on the conference, check out its official site for dates, times and registration.

This year's theme is "Roadies, not Rock Stars". We are not rock stars, ninja's or guru's. We are code monkey's just like you and we do it because we love it. Just like you, we like to share what we have learned so others can benefit. Come join Marco Tabini, Ryan Stewart, Keith Casey and Cal Evans when we come to your town! Spend a day with us as we share with you what we've learned.

At each stop, this crew of four will present a one-day series of talks on things ranging from unit testing to APIs to working with OOP in PHP 5.3. You can find out more about the sessions that will be presented at your closest location on the CodeWorks site. You can also register and get in for the Early Bird price of $75 USD for a single ticket or $70 USD if you're part of a group.
