 				<p>If Zend puts your picture on a deck of cards, you’ve either arrived in the PHP world or are a terrorist. Terry Chay is a PHP Terrorist. He works on Wordpress, and, when he isn’t doing that, he’s trying to get as much power as you’ll give him saying outrageous things on his blog—which is sort of also like working on Wordpress.</p>
 				<p>In previous lives he architected the third largest social network in the U.S. in PHP, developed the largest revenue-generating product in PHP for Plaxo (later purchased by Comcast) as their first web engineer, programmed the communication layer between an internet-enabled home control device and the web browser, voice portals, PDAs and cell phones via SOAP and XMLRPC in PHP, and built the first travel search engine in… PHP (surprise)!</p>

+				<h3><a name="denker">Laura Beth Lincoln Denker</a></h3>
 				<p>Laura Beth "LB" Lincoln graduated from RIT with a BS/MS in Computational Mathematics/Computer Science.  She then moved on to a small job in a small city in central New York before being courted by Google, bringing her to the Big Apple, where she worked in both test and development for over 4 years.  Now she has taken a turn for the handmade, helping Etsy grow by creating tools developers need to produce and deploy features faster than ever.</p>
 				<h4>Is It Handmade Code If You Use Power Tools?</h4>
 				<p>At Etsy we view Code as Craft (check out our blog: <a href="http://codeascraft.etsy.com">codeascraft.etsy.com</a>), and we pride ourselves on enabling every developer to deliver his or her code to the Etsy community as quickly as possible, in our case, around 20 minutes from code completion.  Four months prior to Cyber Monday 2010, there might have been a day where as many as 10 deployments occurred, but the Thursday before Thanksgiving, the prelude to the biggest day for an e-commerce website, Etsy engineers managed 40 deployments in a single day, and each deployment included passing a battery of 5000+ tests.  We would like to share with you how we are approaching internal tooling, abusing PHPUnit, pushing beyond the boundaries of Hudson CI, and creating metrics to guide the future of our continuous deployments while keeping it handmade.</p>

 				<h4>From Earth to Jupiter With NASA</h4>
 				<p>The Internet is the greatest communications tool in the history of man-kind. Perversely, it's still incredibly difficult for people to communicate complicated ideas. Now, imagine being NASA, and needing to communicate your ideas. In this talk, we'll explore how we exploited the different learning types, together with a rich multimedia CMS, to allow NASA to explain complicated scientific ideas on multiple levels, allowing every member of their audience to walk away with an effective level of understanding. Moreso, we'll be exploring how a rich platform allowed us to easily combine different types of media in combinations rarely found on the web today. In addition, we'll be taking a brief look at what we needed to make this all happen from a technical perspective.</p>

 				<h4>The Original Hypertext Preprocessor</h4>
 				<p>With all the technical considerations of designing and shipping PHP-based software, it's easy to forget how every line of code you write can have a direct impact on your customers. Almost any code has the potential to shape the user experience and result in repeat custom or an over-subscribed helpdesk. Allow Drew McLellan to take you through the lessons learned when building Perch - a PHP content management system that banks heavily on providing a great user experience. Hear what has worked, what failed miserably, and how a goal of eliminating all support requests has driven the technical design of the product.</p>

                                 <p>I have two stories to tell and but one hour to fill, with luck I’ll weave them together as seamlessly as PHP’s parameter orders. The first is the story of WonderProxy a company I co-founded with a long time colleague to provide a way to test GeoIP applications. My goal with the story isn’t to sell you a product, far from it, but to talk about it’s underpinnings in PHP, and the success and failure we’ve experienced thus far. One of our failures was our incredibly slow website, luckily XHProf & XHGui helped us diagnose those issues (notice that excellent segue?). XHProf is a performance analysis tool released by facebook to aid developers by allowing them to profile production runs of their application. XHGui is a user interface for this information, allowing developers easy access to their information, providing graphs over time and other useful displays. This second story will dig through the reason behind the creation of this GUI, and a few useful hints on how to get the most out of it.</p>

 				<p>Andrei Zmievski is a developer with almost 15 years of experience in the Web. He has worked at Digg at Yahoo and co-founded Analog Coop to work on exciting projects such as Mapalong and Brooklyn Beta. As a core developer of PHP, he helped curate development of the world's most popular web platform. Along the way he started PHP-GTK and Smarty projects, co-wrote PHP Developer's Cookbook, and spearheaded the attempt to bring Unicode and i18n support to PHP. He loves good beer, brews some of his own, and can heartily recommend Russian River Pliny the Elder.</p>
 				<h4>The Good, The Bad &amp; The Ugly: What Happened to Unicode in PHP 6</h4>
 				<p>In the halcyon days of early 2005, a project was launched to bring long overdue native Unicode and internationalization support to PHP. It was deemed so far reaching and important that PHP needed to have a version bump. After more than 4 years of development, the project (and PHP 6 for now) was shelved. This talk will introduce Unicode and i18n concepts, explain why Web needs Unicode, why PHP needs Unicode, how we tried to solve it (with examples), and what eventually happened. No sordid details will be left uncovered.</p>

 				<p>Come along to this in-depth session covering all aspects of web services; if you want to bring your laptop and "play along" as we go, you can grab the sample code and join in!  We will cover the concepts behind web services: data formats, service types, HTTP, troubleshooting, and how to put all this together in PHP to consume services.  Finally we'll go a step further and implement a service ourselves.  Expect anecdotes, war stories and some commandments for things you should never do when working with services.</p>

In this tutorial, we explore how to trim down lithium to a lightweight, highly performant RESTful JSON &amp; XML API that can fit in a single file. No hair-pulling required.</p>
