I announced this earlier in the year, but for those that missed it, I'm
speaking at php|tek next week.
I'll be co-presenting a workshop entitled Practical SVN for PHP
Developers along with the lovely and talented
Lorna Jane Mitchell. In a way, it's
a continuation of the unconference session we did together at ZendCon08, and
will provide much more in-depth information on the subject -- including how
to create and organize your repositories, branching and tagging strategies,
how and when to commit, as well as more basic usage of subversion for
day-to-day use.
I've also proposed two unconference sessions:
- Using Git to take SVN
offline continues the version control theme. In it, I plan to
demonstrate and discuss git+svn, a set of tools I use daily to
allow me the benefits of a distributed versioning system backed by a
non-distributed, canonical system.
- Play-dough: How to Model Your
PHP Objects is a continuation of a series of blog posts I did
earlier this year on creating models for your MVC systems. I plan to look at
some common design patterns, including Service Layers, Domain Models, Data
Mappers, Transaction Scripts, ActiveRecord, and Table and Row Data Gateways
-- and where and when each may make sense in your application.
If you're interested in either of the above two topics, follow the links and
vote. Or, if you just want to see me run around like a chicken with its head
cut off for two days as I scramble to put materials together, that works as
well.
If you're going to php|tek next week, please look me up. And if you're not,
it's not too late to register!
