Finally after waiting a few years, the PHP conference 2007, held in Amsterdam, is on a date (16th June 2007) where it’s possible to me to join this important PHP event without to cancel my vacation.
The Conference this year is first time organized by the Dutch Zend partner “Ibuildings.nl” and has a very “heavy” agenda:

Trends (Object orientation, mash-ups…)
Frameworks (Zend framework, Symfony, ATK)
Databases (Oracle, stored procedures in MySQL 5)
Enterprise Solutions (diff. show cases)

OK, you can’t follow all this stuff in several hours. Thats why you have to choose from three presentations from every block. I hoped to meet some of the founders of PHP or Zend, but this year I have to listen to speakers like Cal Evens, Derick Rethans and some others…

I’m back!

Must say it was a nice event: great location to held that kind of events and there was some good people there.

… can’t say I will revisit the PHP conference next year, why? Most of the presentation must be held very short (45 minutes) while the content of the presentation need maybe 2 or 3 hours.

I think if I read two hours some good blog posts I got the same amount of information
Ok, I need to be fair, the presentation about mash ups from Cal Evens was very cool, funny and worth full, well dome Cal (you was the that I don’t got mad after investing 8 hours into something I’m not really need)
