Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend - is their anyway to get what
happened in the meeting?  The ustream doesn't seem to have stored the
meeting for viewing afterwards (Makes sense, I guess)

Thanks!

>
> Topic: Debugging techniques for PHP programmers
> Speaker: Jochen Daum
>
> Speaker background: Jochen started his PHP career when building a "web
> server on a CD" system for Wella AG in Germany in 2001. Since coming
> to New Zealand in 2002 he has worked in several roles as a programmer
> and software architect with PHP. Since 2004 he offers his services of
> website system development, maintenance and consulting through his
> company Automatem Ltd.
> Throughout these years, Jochen has come across a wide variety of
> off-the-shelf CMS and E-Commerce applications as well as build a
> number of website himself from scratch. He has also build his own CRUD
> framework phpdbedittk.
>
> "Being a to debug PHP and analyse a problem fast has always been a
> business requirement throughout my career. The presentation will not
> so much focus on using debugging to provide or deepen an understanding
> of a php application, but rather to be able to analyse and fix a
> problem quickly."
>
> The presentation will cover the following areas:
>
> - My code guidelines in light of debugging
> - PHP debugging facilities: functions, error logging
> - Common debugging methods: divide an conquer, backtracing
> - Comparison between text editor and IDE as a debugging environment
> - Human behaviours and debugging
> - Other outside debugging facilities overview: Firebug, Wireshark, Fiddler
>

>

> website to get a bus connection: http://bit.ly/Fc7cO
>
> More detailed instructions on how to get there:
>
> => From South Auckland:
>
> From Southern MW exit at Mt. Wellington and turn right at the bottom
> of the offramp.
>
> Go straight for about 2 km (Mt Wellington Highway) until you hit a
> T-intersection. Turn right there.
>
> When you get to the Panmure Roundabout, turn "soft left" (into 10
> o'clock direction, 2nd road off the roundabout) and mind the traffic
> light immediately after the roundabout exit.
>
> Go straight for another 500 m until you can turn left via a bridge
> that crosses the railway line. Turn and follow this road through the
> industrial area until you get to another roundabout.
>
> Hang right there and you should see Tamaki Campus ahead of you on the
> right. Take the gate on the right that is next to the big satellite
> dishes - this may not be the closest but it is the gate through which
> you must exit later. Go straight until you hit a fence, turn right
> there and work your way down to the road at the bottom by following
> the fence. Continue until you see a bus stop on the left, then go and
> find yourself a car park in the large car park to the right.
>
> Turning back towards the buildings from the car park, you see a
> building with a curved facade. We're in building 731 to the left of
> this, on the middle floor, in room 203, which is at the far end of the
> building from the elevator shaft. Doors should be open either end of
> the building.
>
> => From East Auckland (Howick./Pakuranga):
>
> Cross via the old Panmure bridge and drive up to the Panmure
> roundabout. Turn right there (about a 4 o'clock turn) and follow the
> directions above.
>
> => From the city / North Shore:
>
> Take the Southern Motorway and exit at Greenlane. Hang left at the
> exit and go straight up the hill towards Remuera. At the
> T-intersection at the top, turn right.
>
> Continue along Remuera Rd. (which then turns into St. Johns Rd.)
> through Upland Village Remuera, down the ditch, up the hill to
> Meadowbank and down again past the Meadowbank shops, straight on past
> Purewa Cemetery and eventually St. Johns College to the St. Johns
> roundabout - the first one you'll come across.
>
> Turn right there and continue to the next roundabout.
>
> Turn left there and head down the hill past the university sports
> fields on the right to the next roundabout.
>
> Turn right here. You could now shortcut through the first gate on the
> left (which closes at night) but the safe option if you're unfamiliar
> with the campus is to continue another 200 m to the gate with the
> satellite dishes and follow the directions above.
>
> => By public transport:
>
> Train: Take the Eastern Line to Glen Innes. Assuming you're coming
> from the city, continue along the platform in the direction of travel,
> then cross the tracks at the crossing at the end of the platform.
> After another 100 m you'll get to Merton Rd., and Tamaki Campus is
> ahead to your right. Turn right, cross the road where it's convenient,
> and find the first campus gate that's open. You'll either end up on
> the big cark park (from where you can follow the directions above) or,
> worst-case, at the gate with the satellite dishes, from where you can
> walk back to building 731 inside.
>
> Buses: Lines 625, 635, and 655 as well as 007 run past the campus.
> Your cue is the bus going down steeply through a residential area
> after the St. Johns roundabout. You'll emerge opposite the uni sports
> fields - hit the button as soon as the bus turns. As you get off, you
> see the campus ahead on your right. Turn right at the roundabout and
> find yourself the first gate to get in.
>
> There are also Howick & Eastern buses that stop close to the gate with
> the satellite dishes.
>
> Kind Regards,
