PHPLondon are planning to hold a conference on 10th February 2006. We are planning to have a number of talks by notable members of the PHP community. The event will appeal to a wide range of individuals including web developers, programmers and open source enthusiasts. This event will also be an ideal opportunity to code, collaborate and engaged in discussions with fellow attendees. Informal evening events are being planned as well. London has excellent transport links both within the UK and Europe.
Too bad, london php group is something i've always found appealing (event want to make the trip with the eurostar to ge there).. But i've got an internship that starts 9th of february... I don't think they'll like me being on a holiday second day
Well, there's three speakers announced so far .. a couple of guys who've written books about PHP and design patterns .. and a guy who's written an MVC framework for PHP 5 (I think). I realise the organisers are attempting to get people to come on the basis of improving their work related skills and (possibly) get their employers to pay for the trip, but they sound awfully dry. There's no representation of the fun side of PHP coding*. I hope the situation improves.
* If design patterns are your idea of fun then you need to get out more.
