I visited the Dutch PHP Conference in Amsterdam over the weekend. It was a very nice event with about 400 attendees and some interesting international speakers. The conference was on Saturday. Since the dutch team won in the football game 4:1 against france on friday night, most participants came in a very positive mood. My personal highlight on the conference was the talk of
Terry Chay who - according to the statements of people who had seen him talking before - cursed surprisingly few times in this presentation. It was fun, meeting the PHP guys from iBuildings and Johann, Sebastian, Derek, Stefan and of course Zeev. After a lot of talking and discussions about PHP (cool), Java (uncool) and Ruby (hype but kind of uncool though oftern referred to as cool - accidentially), i had some time left and took a walk in Amsterdam. It is a beautiful city. One of my favorites actually. I even found time for a quick look at the exhibition of
World Press Photo in the
Oude Kerk.
