PHP Code Camp - Monday, November 7, 2005

This year, we have arranged a very special event for you

For the first time, Marcus Böger and further IT-experts are going to lead the PHP Code Camp. The Code Camp starts right after the Power Workshops on Nov. 7 at 4.30 p.m. and ends around 9 p.m.. To leave nothing to be desired we are going to take liberties with closing time. Register in time as attendance is limited to 35 persons. And don’t forget to bring your laptop!

Many Users today rely on PHP for all kinds of web applications. However, there are legacy systems and others unequaled by PHP. This is excactly where our adventure begins. During the Code Camp, we are first going to discuss PHP basics from the structure of extensions to sample functions. That part should not exceed one hour. Then we are going to deal with object orientation by studying an example of a complete, implemented extension – a plain and simple extension with nothing that complicates the code.

Delicious pizza and beer will accompany the subsequent discussions and remaining questions will be answered. You might want to test new ideas? IT-profs Ilia Alshanetsky, Derick Rethans, and Johannes Schlüter are going to provide assistance. Until the end of the day you will be able to write the functions that you always have missed and to install your company’s backend like nobody else does. Last but not least, core developers will perform live coding. Big enough displays will allow for a good sight.

System Requirements for your Laptop:
There are no specific systems requirements for the Code Camp. That said, in order to program effectively during the camp we recommend having a current PHP source distribution or CVS Checkout as well as a compiler on your laptop.

• All active downloads: http://www.php.net/downloads.php
• 4.4.1rc1: http://downloads.php.net/derick
• 5.1.0rc2/3: http://downloads.php.net/ilia
• cvs/dev *nix/windows snapshots: http://snaps.php.net
• windows dlls libs: http://pecl4win.php.net/

Of course, it is preferable to have a complete installation with all libraries, tools, cache at *nix, and compiled PHP. After all, the camp is not going to explain how to set up the build system or how to compile PHP!

Let the fun begin.

The PHP Code Camp is included for Super Conference Pass holders and can be booked stand-alone. For more information click .
