ramblings on PHP, SQL, the web, politics, ultimate frisbee and what else is on in my life

Getting back on the conference bandwagon

After having skipped a few recent conferences I will be back in action at this years php|works in toronto. It will be my first trip to canada but more importantly I will try my hand at a new flavor of talks. So far I have done several talks on database abstraction, but this time I am giving a talk on how to write proper fast, portable SQL. I do not claim to be a DBA guru, but I have done my fair share of reading on the topic, combined with several years of experience developing database driven applications I think I will be able to show a few new tricks to the audience. Maybe the audience can ever share some of their own!

A bit more traditional will be my hands on PEAR tutorial. The idea is to make people fit to help themselves or to better reach out to the various ressources available in the PEAR world. To make this talk a bit more personal relevant I am encouraging attendees to send in requests for packages to discuss once again.
