WDC2011 is approaching

October is defiantly conference season for me, with the PHPNW conference at the start of the month and now WDC towards the end.

The Web Developers Conference is aimed at both professionals and students, and focuses on the front end side of web development.

The schedule has now been released, and the speakers have been known for a while, there are a couple of well-known speakers that will be there so I’m really looking forward to this and hopefully learning a few things front end related , as a PHP developer that’s where my skills aren’t so strong.

Tickets are still available at a very reasonable £50 for the days festivities, and will be entering a Late Bird stage at the start of October, so get your tickets now to avoid disappointment if they sell out or go past your budget! Various discount codes are floating around on Twitter if you need one, or just ask one of the speakers if you’re struggling.

You can find out more information on the conference website http://webdevconf.com/

PHPNW 2011 is approching

Last year I wrote a brief post about my first trip to the Manchester based PHP developer conference, PHPNW10. It’s now almost a year later and this years conference is just 1 month away so I think it’s about time I did a little plug for them and try to convince anyone that stumbles upon this post to buy a ticket and attend.

PHPNW is a user group meetup of PHP developers based in Manchester, with the aim of sharing experiences and improving knowledge of all things PHP (and other related technologies). The group meet the first Tuesday of the month for a 40 min or so talk on the speakers chosen topic. They held their first conference in 2008 and have had one each year since. Find out more on the conference About page. Read the rest of this entry »

PHPNW Conference 2010

Last weekend I attended a PHP developer conference here in Manchester hosted by PHPNW.
PHPNW is a community of web developers, web designers and anyone else interested in PHP, from the North West of England, who come together once a month to talk with similar like minded people and have a pint or two. The sessions normally have one or two speakers and I recommend everyone pop down if they can. Read the rest of this entry »
