Hello, As some may have heard, CodeWorks is coming to NYC in October - we'll post more details as their available but suffice it to say, that each local stop on the CodeWorks road show allows one local speaker.
Over on the Org list, I've asked folks to submit abstracts, and now we have a chance to vote on the topics. The abstract that receives the most votes will be the primary speaker, and the second, well, secondary/backup. Please email me directly off list with your votes as to not clutter this list, then I'll announce the selected speakers. Please vote only for two talks. Here they are: An Introduction to Zend AMF Zend AMF gives developers the ability to quickly and efficiently communicate between Flex and PHP. In this talk we'll cover the basics of setting up an application that uses Zend AMF, look at some common errors that you may encounter and explore the ways we can display and manipulate our data once it's in Flex. Coding Secure with PHP and Enterprise LAMP Security Anyone involved in web application development over the last five years should be aware of the security ecosystem surrounding PHP. Often overhyped, sometimes dramatic, and always interesting, the topics of PHP and security are usually linked at the hip, and a favorite comedy topic for those involved with other languages. While PHP has made some security mistakes in the past, the focus of criticism is often misguided. The applicable codebase for the security notices - whether it be the PHP core, an extension, or an application - is forgotten and PHP as a whole gets one more strike. PHP also provides great power and flexibility. But with it, comes great responsibility. As with any application living on the internet, it's the entire support staff's responsibility architect, developer, and administrator - to ensure an application meets organization security requirements. In this talk, we'll provide tips, tricks, and fundamental best practices from the trenches for ensuring your code and LAMP deployment isn't caught off guard. He'll then review the PHP security ecosystem and available resources, debunk myths, and reveal some surprising facts that could leave you thinking PHP is one of the most secure languages available today. Extreme Scale with Thin Server Architecture As website interactivity demands put a bigger strain on your beautiful code, faster internet connections and more website visitors don't make it any easier. There is a way to dramatically drop the overhead of rendering a page, by asking the browser to do all the work. Learn how to scale your applications to absurd extremes with this simple, ingenious concept. I Smoked Too Much PHP Let's face it, we all love our PHP. And after all these countless hours spent mastering our craft, and then more countless hours bickering with our cohorts about who is better, we learned the shocking truth: There is more out there. We occasionally hear about other languages and their offerings, and some people even like them. Gasp! What is all the fuss about? A sometimes funny and occasionally accurate telling of what is going on out there in the non-PHP world of mundanes. MySQL and PHP - State of the Union Latest look on that famous couple, MySQL and PHP. He'll cover the latest in connectors, best practices and techniques, how to optimize performance between the two, scaling, and how all of this fits into the latest buzzword, the cloud. The State of the PHP CMS Many believe the rich variety of PHP-based Content Management Systems (CMS) greatly accelerated the adoption of PHP both in the consumer and corporate sectors. This session identifies the key players and outlines a brief history of each, as well as demonstrate their strengths and weaknesses. Best of all is an open discussion of not only what is coming in the future, but what everyone really wants.
