SymfonyCon Paris is announced: December 3-5!
Apr 20, 2015 @ 17:11:56

The Symfony blog has officially announced SymfonyCon Paris including its dates - December 3rd through 5th.

We’re so thrilled and excited to announce SymfonyCon Paris! We’ve just confirmed the official dates, SymfonyCon Paris 2015 will be December 3-5 in a famous Parisian theater: Les Folies Bergère!

To celebrate Symfony’s 10th birthday it was logical to come back to Symfony’s hometown. As you were (almost) all asking for it, there was nothing more to convince us to do it in Paris. But Paris, is a very big city, with a lot of venues and this year is so special… To celebrate Symfony’s birthday, we picked up a magical venue… Welcome to les Folies Bergère! It’s downtown Paris and very easy to access wherever you are in Paris.

You can pick up Early Bird tickets right now from the conference site. If you're of the speaking sort, you could also submit to the Call for Paper that's open until June 30th. There will be workshops happening before the conference and the 5th will be a "hackday" for those wanting to gather with fellow Symfony developers and work out some code.

PHP Master Series, Volume 1 (One-Day Virtual Conference)
Nov 19, 2012 @ 15:43:42

Cal Evans has officially announced his latest in his series of full-day virtual conferences aimed at PHP developers - the PHP Master Series, Volume 1 (from the Day Camp 4 Developers):

There is a lot of good information shared at conferences and sadly not event 1% of developers who identify themselves as PHP developers, ever get to attend one. This makes me sad. So I’m trying something new. [...] I went through the PHP conferences from the second-half of this year and picked out 6 that really stood out. This was a very difficult task; the PHP community and conferences are blessed with a bounty of great talks and speakers. The criteria I used was topics, joind.in score, and speaker. I tried to find talks that were on topics that are of interest to developers, that others liked, and that were given by speakers I know, and know do a good job.

This one-day virtual event is happening December 21st (a Friday) and is made up of six different talks from six different speakers:

  • Designing Beautiful Software - Matthew Weier O'Phinney
  • Cryptography For The Average Developer - Anthony Ferrara
  • Javascript Best Practices & BackboneJS for the PHP Developer - Ryan Weaver
  • Your code sucks, let's fix it. - Rafael Dohms
  • Building a Firehose - Ian Barber
  • From POX to HATEOAS, A Real Company's Journey Building a RESTful API - Luke Stokes

You can pick up your ticket to attend for just $50 USD as a regular attendee (or voice only for those that just want to listen in). There's also an option for an "Office Party" for $100 USD if you have more than a few folks that would like to attend.

On the Zend Developer Zone today there's a new announcement from Ralph Schindler about this month's Zend Framework Bug Hunt happening this Thursday, Friday and Saturday (the 16th through the 18th).

Has Zend Framework been good to you this year? Are you trying to figure out what to give to Zend Framework for Christmas? Well, search no more- Zend Framework wants one thing: for you to close some bugs at this month's bug-hunt! This Thursday, Friday and Saturday of December (the 16th, 17th and 18th 2010), we'll be hosting our monthly bug hunt. For those of you unfamiliar with the event, each month, we organize the community to help reduce the number of open issues reported against the framework.

Last month they had 111 issues closed and are hoping for at least that this month. Volunteers have come together to find and squash bugs that have popped up during the life of the Zend Framework. If you're interested in helping this month, take a look at Ralph's post for what you'll need to do before and during the event.
