I am quite excited about speaking at the International PHP Conference. It’s one of the biggest events on PHP right now, and the line up of speakers is impressive to say the least. I am very much looking forward to meeting everyone there. The session I will be doing at IPC is called ‘The Power…
Having initiated the event last year, and it going on to become the success it was last year, I am very happy that my former employer Dutch Open Projects decided to organize SymfonyCamp again this year. The line-up for this year is quite impressive, with not only symfony founder Fabien Potencier there, but also Dustin…
This year the conference is bigger and better. More people will attend (which I guess will add to the less personal approach of the event, but what’s to be expected of an event this big?) but also there is an extra day. Aside from the regular conference day, there is now also a workshop day.…
Last week I did a presentation for the Dutch Linux Usergroup on symfony. It was an introductory talk as the audience there would probably not be very php-oriented. The presentation there went very well, even though there were only 4 people attending the talk. The presentation went very smoothly, and the fact that there so…
As you can see in this new event calendar, aside from the Dutch PHP Conference, I will also be speaking during the Nllgg dag (regular event of the Dutch Linux User Group), where I will give a short introduction into the symfony framework, and I will be speaking on another very cool event, the pfCongrez,…

On friday June 13th, there will be 4 tutorials: One on PHP Unit by Sebastian Bergmann, one on Zend Framework by Matthew Weier O’Phinney, one of Advanced PHP by my colleague Dennis-Jan Broerse, and last but definitely not least, one on…
When we did the PHP Bootcamp in June of this year, it was an unexpected success. The PHP-wide one-day event on PHP Frameworks attracted about 35 visitors, and everybody was really happy about the event. The idea of SymfonyCamp had come up even before that, but after the success of the PHP Bootcamp we decided…
Earlier this year we organized PHP Bootcamp, a one-day event in which we had discussions about several frameworks. It was a huge success. It was an afterthought after another idea though. The original idea is now being realized. SymfonyCamp is my little baby, and I’m gonna make sure this baby will be having a good…
So yesterday was the Dutch PHP Conference in the RAI in Amsterdam. Aside from doing a presentation on Symfony there, I had a clean plan on which sessions to attend. I ended up though to change my plans slightly. Instead of the PDO presentation, I wanted to check out the new ATK by attending Ivo’s…

I’m presenting!)* Keynote: Test-driven Development (English) It’s gonna be a very cool conference, I’m sure of that. I’m very much looking…
