ZendCon 2008

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

I presented tonight my findings from ZendCon 2008…mostly my notes from different sessions I attended in powerpoint form, but there were interesting tools I found while there, including phpUnderControl, monyog, and flex.  I’ve grabbed a bunch of presentations and put them in one spot for anyone who wants them.  Presentations are here.

Zend Framework & Doctrine

Friday, June 27th, 2008

A few months ago, I did a presentation at the meeting on putting together a MVC framework containing pieces of Zend Framework and Doctrine.  Originally conceived by Cory Powers and myself, the result is named Crystal Core.  The slide show presentation can be found here.

Crystal can be checked out via Subversion from here.

If you have any questions about the project or want to help out, please contact me through my website.
