On Thesaur's weblog today, there's a new posting about the workshop that he helped with at the Internation PHP Conference 2005 - RAD and PHP.

Yesterday Helgi and I gave a workshop on RAD with PHP. The central project was an example forum that Helgi and I threw together. Helgi had the backend working, while I only had a few basic templates done. Unfortunately this crossed somewhat with my studies, so I didn't have as much time as I wanted to prepare the frontend. However, I think the backend and theory were good enough to present our topic.

I'll try to recap the entire session and provide a link to the appropriate code here later.

Some attendees of yesterday's workshop indicated further interest in the presented example project. As a result, Helgi and I will be continuing to develop it. It currently is under GPL, but considerations will be made to license it otherwise on specific request.

With so many sites just wnting to get something up quick and learn how to develop in the least amount of time, this kind of information could really help a lot of developers out there.
