PHPNW '08
// November 23rd, 2008 // Technology
Today I’ve been out to PHPNW ‘08, a web development conference at the Manchester Central Convention Complex (formerly the G-MEX). I was helping out so I had an early start, and was in Manchester for 8:30am. It got off to a great start, and over the day I met some great people and saw some familiar faces too.
One of the most interesting talks was the Getting Started with Zend Framework and the From HTML to Drupal in 30 Minutes (although it may have been better suited to 60 minutes!). I got a free T-shirt and some cool goodies too.
They’re one of the first conferences to utilise the http://joind.in/ service which helps attendees give feedback on the talks and can provide some constructive criticism to the speakers. It’s a really cool ‘Web 2.0′ idea, and I hope it takes off with many other conferences using it.
Encouraged by the great time I had today, I’ve booked a ticket for BarCamp Sheffield next weekend (the Sunday to be specific). If you see me there, feel free to say hi!
