Dutch PHP Conference 2008 and symfony

Last year, while I was not yet working for Ibuildings, I did an introductory session on symfony at the Dutch PHP Conference. I was really looking forward to the event , and it turned out to be the success I expected . Ibuildings proved beyond a doubt that they organize a killer conference! This year, the DPC is back, and stronger than ever!

The conference has been prepended this year with an extra day filled with workshops. On friday June 13th, there will be 4 tutorials: One on PHP Unit by Sebastian Bergmann, one on Zend Framework by Matthew Weier O'Phinney, one of Advanced PHP by my colleague Dennis-Jan Broerse, and last but definitely not least, one on symfony by none other than Fabien Potencier and myself! That's right, we'll do the tutorial together! I am pretty excited about this as this will not be some conference session, but a full-day tutorial. And I'm possibly even more excited about being able to do this together with the big man behind the symfony framework!

But aside from these tutorials, the line-up for the main conference on June 14th is awesome as well: Zeev Suraski, Marco Tabini, Sebastian Bergmann, Gaylord Aulke, Lorna Jane Mitchell, Fabien Potencier, Matthew Weier O'Phinney, Ivo Jansch and even more to be announced. That is one hell of a line-up! I am so much looking forward again to this event.
