Tobias Schlitt is officially announcing a new offering from the PHPers in the Dortmund area as voted on via feedback from others in the surrounding area - The PHP Weekender.
It’s been a good month, since the PHP Usergroup Dortmund asked for feedback on the idea of a PHP introduction workshop in Dortmund. Because of the huge masses of interessted people, we expanded the idea and are now going to make a 2 day, 2 track PHP introduction weekend, including 2 workshops and a lot of interessting sessions about topics like “XML handling”, “Enterprise PHP”, “SOA” and “Shell scripting.
The event will be presented in German and will be happening October 7th and 8th at Dortmund University. You can get complete details about the event (and reserve your spot) from the event’s main website.
Over on the ThinkingPHP Blog, Felix Geisendorfer has posted several items to his blog in a his series of Ten Days of Free Dessert with some useful tips about using the CakePHP Framework.
I’m announcing the “10 Days of free Dessert!”. This basically means that I’ll post at least 1 useful and easy to adapt CakePHP tip begining tomorrow for the next 10 days. I will try to pick things you might not have heard before and that didn’t get a lot of loving from the docs team so far.
Here’s the listing so far:
Each of the posts contains a description of the feature and some code to show how it’s done. It’s a great, handy little series of posts for any CakePHP developer to keep in their toolkit to pull from later on.
