Keynoting at PHPNW10

Tuesday, July 27. 2010

I'm slightly surprised but mostly wildly excited to announce that I'll be the keynote speaker at the PHP North West Conference in October. It is held in Manchester in the UK, which is about an hour from where I live in Leeds, so it is definitely my "home" conference, and this makes me even more excited since I know I'll be in such great company!

The talk is Teach A Man To Fish: Coaching Development Teams and really it's about how a little investment of time or effort can build your existing team into something better - and how that team can then sustain its improvements and continue to raise its performance and the game of the individual team members. All in all I am pretty excited about this talk - as with most of my conference talks, it started life as a rant in a bar, and I'm now excited to be preparing it for a more formal setting!

The event itself is a must-see for anyone doing PHP or allied technologies that can get there (Manchester is pretty central and pretty cheap - if you're in the UK, you have no excuses!). It's a Saturday event, 9th October 2010 and tickets are on sale - the Early Bird prices are still available and we've held the prices as low as possible again, we don't need frills, we just want lots of people to be able to join in! I hope to see quite a few of you there, let me know if you're coming :)

Congratulations Lorna. Sounds like a really interesting talk, too bad i can’t be there in Manchester. Hopefully next year.

PHPNW is looking to be one hell of a conferance, is anything planned for those of us not lucky enough to be able to attend to get the talks? (Thinking streaming/notes)

TIA

David

Thanks everyone for the positive responses, I’m a little intimidated but still more excited than anything!
David: we publish video of our sessions – not live but hopefully it’s something for those who can’t be there

Hi Lorna Jane, Thanks for all this – the info on PHP and Soap on the Net is a total mess. Some choosing to to use nusoap.php – which now doesnt even exist anymore. Great work using this method I was up and running very quickly. However – this method only shows a call passing one paramet [...]

Thanks so much to everyone that has dropped in and said that this tip is working for them – I had to refer back to this myself the other day to remind me how to get around the FTP prompt!

This issue seems to happen when you move a DB from one machine to another as I did. The procedure you describe above should be put into MySQL documentation. You should put in a bug report to the MySQL people as their documentation needs to updated. And yes the PASSWORD parameter needs to be re [...]

This is a convenient way to upgrade, and is certainly a good thing for development / testing environments. On a busy site there might be a slim risk this technique could be problematic. Although the file system is updated in an atomic transaction, a web browser could still read from both the [...]

Nice to see a post about this. :-) 100% of our deploys are done using symlinks. We copy our releases into revision-specific folders (which are rev123, rev124, etc.). Deploy is done using: cd /software-revisions-folder ln -sf rev124 current To revert: ln -sf rev123 current Thi [...]

This is very interesting and helpful tip. I just felt its quite similar to adding a new node to link list in C and moving pointer to next :)
