It was a huge success and NYPHP organizers will be gathering photos and presentations online. Stay tuned for follow-up announcements and thank you to our sponsors, attendees and speakers! June General Meeting: An Introduction to PHP-GTK 2 ---------------------------- When: Tuesday, June 27th at 6:30pm sharp (4th Tuesday of every month) Where: IBM, 590 Madison Avenue, Room 1219 (12th Floor) RSVP: http://www.nyphp.org/rsvp.php You must RSVP within 30 days of the meeting you attend! For most people PHP is a language that allows them to create dynamic web pages, but not much else. Many developers have probably used PHP on the command line in the form of PEAR but even this does not take full advantage of PHP's power. PHP-GTK 2 is a PHP extension which combines the power of PHP 5 and Gtk+ 2 allowing developers to create standalone PHP applications free from the confines of a web browser. Applications written in PHP-GTK 2 can be much more powerful and interactive than those which rely on a web server. This presentation will introduce the basic concepts of PHP-GTK 2. First we will discuss how an application can interact with the user via signals and events. Next we will see how to layout an application and present data to the user in many different formats. Finally, we will look at how to customize an application to give it a unique look and feel. These topics will be covered as we step through the process of creating a relatively simple PHP-GTK 2 application, which will be a sort of desktop mashup. The application will allow a user to search for an event using the EVDB web services API. Of course the user will want to know what the weather is like at the event, so the application will use the National Weather Service API to show the current weather in the destination city. Scott Mattocks is a LAMP Developer for OnForce.com. He is also the author of "Pro PHP-GTK" (Apress 2006). Scott has been working with PHP-GTK several years. Not only has Scott been working with PHP and PHP-GTK, but he has also been contributing back to the community in many ways. Scott spent many hours to help improve the first set of documentation for PHP-GTK and is listed as one of the authors for the PHP-GTK 2 documentation. He has also contributed several PHP-GTK classes to PEAR and has added code to more traditional PEAR packages such as PHPUnit and Console_Getargs. Thanks to IBM for providing a great presentation space with seating for plenty. As a service to our community, New York PHP meetings are always free and open to the public. Come prepared with a business card to enter book raffles.

We have received consistent feedback regarding the quality of the presentations, so I'd like to especially thank our speakers for their travel and preparation. We broke ground this year by bringing together the business and technical sides of PHP, forming the PHP Business Community, and providing insights to our audience like no other conference has done. There are a few post-conference items to cover. First, we've received the majority of presentations and have them online. Please see: http://www.nyphpcon.com/speakers.php Secondly, we are collecting photos from the conference, and putting them online as well. Thanks to the New York City BSD User Group (http://www.nycbug.org), we have an FTP server available for image upload. Images will be online at our gallery as they arrive, thanks to Michael DeWitt. If you have blogged about the conference, or have a gallery of your own, please send us your links and show your participation: http://www.nyphpcon.com/show_participation.php We also want your feedback on the conference. Rather than a complex survey form, we've decided to keep comments free form. Simply use our contact form: http://www.nyphp.org/contact.php Use email address feedback at nyphpcon.com and other appropriate values if you wish to remain anonymous. It's important that you tell us your thoughts on the conference, whether positive or negative. Feedback will help us create even better events and conferences in the future. This conference was truly made possible by and created for you, the business community of sponsors, attendees, and speakers. Again, I thank everyone for taking part in this conference and enjoy the summer. --- Hans Zaunere / President / New York PHP www.nyphp.org / www.nyphp.com
