php|architect's Pro::PHP Podcast has released their latest show over the weekend - this week's latest news and information with plenty of special guests joining in (including Chris Shiflett, Wez Furlong, and Eli White).
Topics this time include the breaking of the HD DVD key, cross-site request forgeries, a discussion of various editors and much more. The podcast was recorded at this year's php|tek conference put on by php|architect
As always, you can either grab this latest show directly or you can subscribe to their podcast feed to get the latest shows delivered right to your podcasting client.
He's also included brief summaries of what each is about for you to pick out which you might want to attend. In the comments of the post, he mentions yet another conference (just passed unfortunately) for UKers - the PHPConference UK.
Caroline Maynard, a presenter at this year's php|tek conference, got enough feedback on her talk covering SDO in PHP that she's created a resource of the sample programs she demonstrated in the speech for users to download.
I've recently uploaded them to CVS. If you'd like to try them out, copy the whole /scenarios directory under your document root, and browse to it. Some of the commentary is bit terse, so do let us know if you can't make them work or find any problems.
Chris Shiflett has posted his brief recap of his experience at the php|tek conference this year, including links to two helpful references - the page of slides provided by php|architect and a Cluesheet of tons of info from the conference.
There's also a comment made about the Call for Papers for php|architect's next conference later in the year.
Thanks to Ashish for pushing me to get this up. This is a "re-podcast" (i.e. I re-recorded it while giving it to my cats; they didn't have any questions and seemed bored) since it was faster to re-podcast it than it was to edit it. Enjoy! Bear in mind that its highly nerdy and really intended for php geeks. But if you're interested in Internet scalability I suspect it will be interesting. Or if you're curious how we're building Ookles then its interesting (I hope). In it I also talk about the realities of MySQL Replication in large databases or as I term it "Replication Hell".
The file can be directly downloaded from his site as an mp3. The slides for the presentation can be found here
Lukas Smith was one of the attendees of the just-past php|tek conference in Orlando, Florida and has posted his own wrap up of his experiences.
I spend the past week in florida. First visiting my parents and then spending time at php|tek where I was invited to give two talks. I was quite nervous about the first talk about "database schema deployment". My original intention was to create a working solution to handle scripting the necessary DDL and DML statements to manage schema updates. However while researching the topic I found that its even less trivial than I expected.
My second talk "beyond SQL" went fairly smooth, although I kind of suffered from the lack of a flip chart to draw on. I really need to sit down and draw some diagrams to include in my slides. The talk was essentially a stripped down version of my "fast, portable, SQL" talk. However I did not strip it down enough so I was short on time. I was talking to a mostly MySQL using crowd so I ended up giving a lot of MySQL specific advice.
Besides his talks, he also shares some of the experiences outside of his talks too, including perspectives on the hotel, the area, his participation in the panel discussion on PEAR and, of course, the goodies handed out.
He recounts the talks he attended, including Hartmuts talk on Clustering MySQL, the Keynote from another of the php|architect staff, and a vote that was taken on the suggested location for next year's php|architect spring conference.
Davey has also posted quite a few pictures over on the php|tek photostream on Flickr for a bit of the experience for those not able to attend.
In his latest blog entry, Christan Wenz has posted his (lengthy) recap of the php|tek conference put on by the folks over at php|techitect.
His summary includes mentions of Rasmus' keynote, Andrei's "rasmussed" talk on Unicode, and talks on the Zend Framework, time in PHP, and the panel discussion concerning frameworks in general.
He also attended the "conference party" one evening with a few others hitting some bars following (don't miss the videos of this one). The next day saw Derick Rethans going on with a PHP-related rant and Johannes Schlüter's talk on the reflection API.
Andrei Zmievski has posted this new blog item today with links to his talks from the (just passed) php|Teck conference.
I was in Orlando this past week at the php|tek conference, put on by php|architect. I gave two presentations there: PHP 6 and Unicode and Regex Clinic. The slides for both of them are available on my Talks page.
He also mentions a great "impromptu event" the Thursday night of the conference - a dinner that ended with a speed beed drinking contest. And yes, ther's documented proof - check out these movies of it over on Sare Goleman's blog.
Trevor Lowing, an attendee of the php|architect php|tek conference for this year has compiled a list of the things he learned and the people he met while at the conference, including links to various resources on each topic.
Got back today from thephp|tek Live 2006 conference sponsored by php|architect Magazine this week in Orlando and decided to compile a list of PHP tips to share. Many of the lectures are now available online.
The list is broken up into five different sections - Security, Preformance, Tools, New Technologies/Techniques, and the Speakers/Site/Blogs/Lecturers from the conference. Most of the items are just random bits from several of the talks that he attended, but still provide a great deal of information not only about the conference, but about the current state of PHP in general.
