The yearly dutch PHP event is getting close so time to check out the schedule. Once again there are lots of interesting sessions to choose from so I probably will miss some of the good stuff. Mixing ‘simply interesting’ and ‘directly usable in day-to-day job’ results in the preliminary list:

Day 1

• TDD and Getting Paid – Because indeed TDD is good and can be hard to keep doing thoroughly
• Pursuing practices of Domain-Driven Design in PHP – Fits both the ‘interesting’ and ‘directly usable’ categories. Based on the numerous articles by Giorgio I have high expectations
• Cooking up your development environment – Tools I don’t know, yet a subject that’s very real
• Simplify your external dependency management – Or the Uncon, depending on the schedule
• Implementing Comet using PHP – Interesting new stuff (for me that is)
• Zend Framework 2.0: what’s new and what’s changed? – However, Advanced OO Patterns looks interesting too
• Conference social – yup

Day 2

• Pofiling, OAuth, new era of PHP Frameworks – All interesting, to be decided
• Managing a shared MySQL farm – Because I expect to hear more new things than at the Zend Framework optimization talk
• Agility and Quality, Modular application architecture and Character sets that suck (they do!) – Tough one once again. I think Agility and Quality
• Practical Git – I think, because there’s a lot to learn there, although Zend Framework i18n looks interesting too
• Keynote: Open Teams – Will probably be insightful as well as enjoyable

Now I only need to print the ticket, bookmark this page on my iPhone and I’m off to go. Till friday!
