PHP Master Series Vol 1
Dear Reader,
There is a lot of good information shared at conferences and sadly not even 1% of developers who identify themselves as PHP developers, ever get to attend one. This makes me sad. So I’m trying something new. This may work, it may fail miserably., let’s see. :)
I went through the PHP conferences from the second-half of this year and picked out 6 that really stood out. This was a very difficult task; the PHP community and conferences are blessed with a bounty of great talks and speakers. The criteria I used was topics, joind.in score, and speaker. I tried to find talks that were on topics that are of interest to developers, that others liked, and that were given by speakers I know, and know do a good job.
- Designing Beautiful Software – Matthew Weier O’Phinney
- Cryptography For The Average Developer – Anthony Ferrara
- Javascript Best Practices & BackboneJS for the PHP Developer - Ryan Weaver
- Your code sucks, let’s fix it. – Rafael Dohms
- Building a Firehose – Ian Barber
- From POX to HATEOAS, A Real Company’s Journey Building a RESTful API - Luke Stokes
The end result is a one-day, virtual conference I’m calling “The PHP Master Series, Vol 1″. If you are a PHP programmer and want to learn more, I encourage you to take a look at it. We would love to have you join us. :)
Until next time,
I <3 |<

Mr Cal Evans, you are AWESOME for everything that you do! The PHP community, specially the Virtual PHP Community ROCKS because of YOUR UNIQUE way to CARE for PHP members and specially for people that cannot be “there” with the hot php guys. Truly, you ROCK!
What is the difference between “atendee” and “video only”?
Hi!
If you know you won’t be able to attend the event, get a video only as there are a limited number of seats. All three tickets get access to the videos after the event.
Hope to see you there.

Hey Cal, for those who come to my “Office Party”, can they have access to the videos as well?
