The event features two days full of talks and workshops held by both national and international speakers about the PHP programming language and its own ecosystem. It also offers a very interesting chance to meet gurus, managers, developers and innovators from all over the world. The phpDay massively evolved over time: it started as a conference aimed to italian amateur and professional developers
and is now become one of the most important european PHP events. The past speakers list include Zeev Suraski (Zend), Rasmus Ledorf (creator of PHP), Fabien Potencier (Symfony), Johnathan Wage (Doctrine), Enrico Zimuel (Zend Framework), Sebastian Bergmann (PHPUnit), Dustin Whittle (Yahoo, Symfony), Scott Chacon (github) and many more. You can take a look at the past talks videos on http://vimeo.com/grusp. The 2012 edition of the phpDay will be held in Verona on May 18th-19th. The main topic this year is going to be the core language itself so you will find updates about the forthcoming 5.4 PHP version, its new features and improvements. Among other topics there will be success cases, development methodologies and the code quality improvement they can bring (TDD, Continuous Integration, etc.), best practices, project management, framework and libraries and more. The call for papers will close on February 28th and we are still accepting submissions at: http://www.phpday.it/2012/call-for-papers. Please visit http://2012.phpday.it/tickets/ for more information
