Topics

PHP, V5
PHP4 has seen its end of life in 2008. Companies benefit from porting their business applications to the newest PHP version. Several strategies are possible, and you should be encouraged to use the new features and extensions that PHP5 provides. Sessions in this track are for example PHP5 migration strategies or usage of new extensions/features like namespaces, SPL, ext/soap and the like.

Frameworks
OpenSource and commercial frameworks try to make your life as a PHP developer easier. Sessions in this track focus on presenting the various frameworks and how to extend them as well as discussing the pros and cons of the popular OpenSource frameworks.

Architecture/QA
Coding style, code metrics, UnitTesting, performance tests, Design Patterns, class hierarchies: sessions in this track present the toolset you need for shaping the architecture of your application and providing a good QA in the development process.

Security
Companies use the web for business critical applications. Security is a must have for them. This track focuses on the risks that your application can face and how to avoid security problems.

Business/Enterprise
PHP has been used for business critical applications for years. But how do you manage your web applications in an Enterprise context? Agile development, Enterprise features and involvement of management are the focus of this track. Furthermore we will discuss how companies can benefit in times of recession from the ease of use of PHP and its flexibility.

Best Practices

Interoperability
How can PHP connect to SAP? Synchronize with AD/LDAP? Get batch reports from your host system? Sessions in this track focus on showing how you can leverage PHP’s full potential when connecting to different IT architectures.

Database
From MySQL5 to SQLite, DB2 and Oracle: expect sessions about different database flavours and how to improve the performance of your web application/database.
