Hello
 

Hi Guys,

I'm a web developer of two years experience living in Manchester and working in Preston using the LAMP stack, Zend Framework, YUI. Recently been helping to organise the upcoming PHPNW'08 Conference in Manchester (visit the link in my signature for details). Looking to expand my knowledge and gain some insight into how other people use PHP at enterprise level.

Cheers!

Hello pws1d.

Welcome to the site, and have a great stay!
Write a tutorial for the Zend if you have time, I would love to learn more about it :-)

Welcome! There seems to be an increasing amount of people on this forum from the Manchester area. I'm a recent addition to the Manchester crowd though, as I recently moved here from Nottingham. Still, it's all nice to see!

ZF Tutorial
 

Thanks Tanax.

I'm nowhere near experienced enough to write a tutorial but I can point you in the direction of a great starting point...

Akra’s DevNotes Tutorial: Getting Started with Zend Framework 1.5

Rob Allen (the author of link above) has a book due out very soon which is all about ZF.

Manchester
 

Well I'm from Preston originally so I'm also an addition (a leftover from my days studying at UMIST).

You might be interested in the PHPNW user group we've set up if you're local. We meet monthly, usually in Manchester. One of our members might sometimes put a talk on but we usually sit around chatting about the industry and drinking.

My sig has a link to the upcoming conference we have organised. We've got s few local speakers as well as some well known international guys.
