Prepare for the ZCE Exam
June 17th - 19th, Leeds
Are you ready to be a Zend Certified Engineer? This course runs through the entire ZCE syllabus, giving you a refresher on things you know already, filling in some areas you might be feeling shaky about, and illuminating anything which is entirely new. Comes with sample questions, battle stories and a pep talk :)

PHP 201: PHP for Programmers
August, Leeds.
This course is aimed at non-beginner programmers. If you can write code, in any language, then this one is for you. We cover the web, forms, and object-oriented programming in a short, sharp 2-day course. Suitable for junior PHP developers looking to grow their skills and for developers of other languages to transfer theirs over to a whole new world of web.

PHP 202: Building PHP Applications
August, Leeds
A course which pulls together what you know about the web, and how to write code, and uses those skills to build applications as a whole. In this course we cover databases, design patterns, and the building blocks you'll need to build bigger and more robust applications for the real world, whether you build on your own foundations or use frameworks, libraries and other tools.

PHP 203: Tools for PHP
Dates TBC
Writing the code is all very well, but my personal experience is that to cope with a fast-paced job in the web industry, you need some good tools around you. This course covers my must-haves - source control (git), profiling for performance, static analysis tools to ensure standards and the holy grail that is automated, painless deployment - all in two days. I use a pre-prepared linux virtual machine so you can install and configure all the tools you need, learning a little bit of sysadmin and linux as you go along, and try everything out for yourselves. Come prepared to work - this is a practical session, not a lecture!

I am scheduling new dates all the time, if you are wishing I'd bring a particular course to a particular place let me know (if you add your email address, I'll ping you when I do).
