If anyone is able to make it to the PHPNW User Group meet in Manchester next Tuesday 2nd February - I'm the speaker there!

Rowan: Thanks for the comment, I’m glad the talk and this post were useful. I totally agree on the horrible services front, personally I am hoping that as the field becomes more established, the standards become more accepted.
Cesare: Thanks for your kind words, I’ve heard good things about phpday although I haven’t been there myself; sounds like another great event with another horrible hashtag! What’s wrong with #phpday or #phpday10?
