If you are bummed out because you missed ZendCon 2007 (myself included), you’re in luck! All the slides are currently making their way up to Zend’s Developer Zone. The list is far from complete, but it is constantly being updated.

Some of my favorite ones are:

• Brian Aker: Amazon’s EC2 and S3 (free online storage for web apps by Amazon)
• Shahar Evron: Building Scalable Development Environments (best practices you should already be doing)
• Wez Furlong: Best Practices for Sending Mail from PHP (sending mail the right way)
• Elizabeth Naramore: PHP and E-Commerce: More Than Just a Shopping Cart (a great overview PHP technologies related to e-commerce)
• Derick Rethans: Time = Money (covers PHP 5’s date processing functions in depth)

Take some time out today to go over a few presentations that catch your eye. Be sure to open up a discussion with any interesting points you find or questions you have.

Quite a bit has been brewing over the last few weeks with some of the other local groups. As someone was kind enough to point out at our last meeting, BarCamp Orlando has an official date of Sunday, September 23. Greg from ORUG has put together an awesome video highlighting the details. Now go register for the event!

Also, Orlando now has an official Adobe developer group! The Adobe Developers of Greater Orlando met for the first time this past Tuesday (I wish I would have known sooner!) and will continue to meet on the first Tuesday of every month so make sure to set that repeating appointment!

The guys at PHP Architect are at it once again with another sweet looking conference. I attended the php|works conference in Toronto back in 2005 and met some amazing people. If it’s in your budget (or if you can get a boss to pay for your fare), do it.

PHP Conference London 2007

It’s back!—just doing my bit to support the UK’s premiere PHP event. And hats off to them again for honest pricing—no inflation since last year if I remember right: £50 in advance or £75 on the day. Whether I’ll be able to get there is another story but I’d like to.
