Two weekends ago I attended part of the eZ / Open Nordic Conference and more importantly the PHP Vikinger unconference. The unconference is a great opportunity to give an impromptu talk about anything, this is usually picked by a very accurate voting mechanism involving hand raising and Derick proving he can count to 30.
I gave a short talk on what happens when you run a PHP script, it might have been overly technical or not really relevant but it's always handy to know.
The slides are available as a PDF. I'll try to remember to put them on slideshare as well.
Some of the other presentations and general discussions were focused on how much QA and testing people actually do. Naturally this led on to the various tools such as selenium, phpUnderControl, phing and of course PHPUnit.
I had a great time and I'll be back there next year along with my own alcohol. The reason being that its about 244NOK for 2 rums and coke and a pint of beer. That's roughly £24 and $48.
