Dutch PHP Conference 2011

I have just returned from the fifth (and my second) Dutch PHP Conference (DPC). For the technical staff at Ibuildings the conference is a highlight of our year. Not only do we have a chance to visit the delightful city of Amsterdam, but we also have 3 days of stimulating tutorials and conference talks. There is the added bonus of being able to meet and exchange ideas with fellow developers from all over Europe and further afield, many of whom are the movers and shakers in the PHP world.

We believe it is of such value that all our developers get the chance to go, and few miss it. It is so easy to carry on creating software in the way we have always done, but we can't afford to do that in the rapidly changing world of the internet; we must keep up to date with changing trends and practices and adapt accordingly. Attending conferences such as DPC plays a vital part in this and we would really encourage others to attend, whatever your role in the development process.

What's current in the world of PHP?

2 weeks ago, Ibuildings organised the fourth Dutch PHP Conference in the RAI centre in Amsterdam. DPC is a way for us to help PHP developers learn new skills and improve existing ones, but it is also an excellent way to get experts from around the world together and learn about current trends in the PHP ecosystem.

DPC 2009 Day 0 - Stefan Esser's Security Crash Course

From the list of tutorials on Day One of DPC 2009, I chose to sit-in on Stefan Esser's Security Crash Course with the idea that it would be a good opportunity for a review. When he displayed one of his introductory slides about the topics he would be covering, there seemed to be no surprises: input filtering, XSS, CSRF, SQL injection, session management and PHP code inclusion and evaluation -- it was a fairly expected list of all those things in an application that can threaten at one time or another to come back and bite a developer on the back-end (or front-end too for that matter). Even though some of the topics on the list already suggested to me certain known risky situations and how to diffuse them, it didn't matter. I was here, after all, for a review, a reality-check, hoping that certain topics such as PHP code inclusion and evaluation would be made even clearer.

It worked like a charm, although, not immediately, not necessarily in that room on that day.

Dutch PHP Conference - first result of Call for Ideas

We launched the Dutch PHP Conference 2008 last week and already received a lot of ideas to complete the program. Among them suggestions for talks about Zend Studio for Eclipse and new features of PHP 5.3. And of course many people want to see their favourite PHP guru talk.

Most popular at the moment is Derick Rethans. Last year he presented the closing keynote about Test-driven development. And although he had a bad cough, his talk was very much appreciated and many want him on the program again. As we said, the wish of the community is our command for the open slots in the schedule, so we contacted Derick.
