It was time for another Dutch PHP Conference. This is a write-up of that awesome conference.
Conference season has started again and the first two conferences of the year have already been scheduled. Where can you see me in March? And which talks will I be doing?
PHPDay The first conference I’ll be attending in May is PHPDay in Verona, Italy. The conference takes place on May 12 to May 14, though I won’t arriving until the 13th. The schedule looks amazing, with workshops by Fabien Potencier, Sebastian Bergmann and Paul Borgermans and talks by (amongst others) Kore Nordmann, Tobias Schlitt, Christian…
