O'Reilly & Associates is pleased to announce the 1st annual PHP
|
|
Conference. This event is the central gathering place for the PHP

community to exchange ideas, techniques, and to advance the language. The
|
|
PHP Conference is a five-day event designed for PHP programmers and
|
|
developers and technical staff involved in PHP technology and its
|
|
applications. The conference will be part of the O'Reilly Open Source

|
|
tutorials aimed mainly at intermediate and advanced PHP, Perl and Python
|
|
programmers along with users of popular technologies such as XML, MySQL,

Mozilla, Apache, Tcl and Zope. These tutorials are designed to provide
|
|
concrete knowledge that leads directly to better programs. Three days

of multi-tracked conference sessions focus on the cutting edge technology

object-orientation to data mining.
