IPC08 - This was 2008, looking forward to 2009

Again a year passed by and the International PHP Conference closed his doors. I finally made it home, slept 14 hours and now I feel not like a zombie any more. This year was quite exhausting for me as I had to stay to full length - from Sunday Evening till Friday Evening. And - as usual - the evenings were the most interesting part. Everyday (a bit) drunken… I think I need to train more to make a better position next year ;)

As always “la famiglia” showed up so I met all the usual suspects starting with the guys (and girls) from gayflowr Mayflower to Tobias Schlitt and Kore which whom I had as usual a lot of fun till the very well known Derick Rethans and Sebastian Bergmann. Ah, not to forget Max, Markus and Gaylord ;) Over a whisky Markus and myself discovered that the world is really small. We’ve never met, but one guy working for me on the very old times brought him into touch with PHP.

Interesting for me was also that I got into touch with a few really nice guys who I somehow missed to meet in the past. Pierre is a good example. I don’t know how I could miss to meet him ;) I think we fit together as we might both start the PHP Senior Group - or maybe we build it alone ? Furthermore I’ve met Ralf and Nils who attenden PHP Conference even tough he seem to hate it ;) Having beer with them together on the “late oktoberfest” was a pleasure.

So - enough about the party ( even tough I consider this the main part on any conference as there you get the real good answers and contacts ) - which talks I held this time ?

Together with Thorsten ( the ‘womanizer’ with the most famous blue eyes) we had a full day workshop on “Theory and practice – migrating your legacy code into our modern test driven development world”. For me very interesting was the even tough we expected that everybody who attended already uses TDD - this was not true so we had to change the workshop a bit on the fly and went back to the basics.

On Tuesday I continued giving a talk about Monitoring your business. I was not quite sure what the attendees expected but it seems that I could manage to satisfy them.

Finally I’ve agreed to talk on the last “Enterprise” Day about “Agile Softwareentwicklung bei Geschäftsanwendungen” - sorry about the german, but the whole day was in german. And many thanks to Periklis who gave me the very interesting figures in it about the performance gain a team can get using agile methods.

On Friday I also had to hop in for Bjoern who unfortunately got sick :( - hope you will be better soon Bjoern! It is quite challenging to create a talk in 40 minutes out of the nothing but with the help of Thorsten I made it. And so I’ve talked a bit about “So gelingt der Umstieg von PHP4 auf PHP5: Erneuerung von Geschäftsanwendungen unter Qualitätsaspekten”

I think this was it - at least everything what I can remember ;) - if I met you and forgot to mention you, please kick ping me.
