Most people in NYPHP can write in PHP. After all we are a PHP user group. However, have you ever wanted to be one of the few and the proud that actually help to write PHP itself. Justin Dearing will take you on a journey from submitting a bug, to writing a test to prove the bug exists, to fixing the bug on your machine. Finally he will show you how to submit that bug fix to be considered for addition to PHP itself. While hacking on the PHP core codebase requires a working knowledge of C, non C programmers will benefit from learning how to write formal PHP tests, and submit proper bugs. Justin Dearing started his IT career in December of 2002 as the third shift iSeries operator at InVision, now MindShift. Since then he has held a variety of positions, and shifted from the operations to the development side of the house. He is a PHP5 certified engineer. Justin runs the Long Island PHP User Group. Justin blogs about programming on www.justaprogrammer.net and his twitter updates can be followed from http://www.twitter.com/zippy1981.

HipHop is a specialized and highly optimized version of PHP that serves the massive traffic of the very hip Facebook. So yes - hop over to this meeting and stay hip with the latest PHP trends. HipHop transforms PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then compiles it using g++. It allows developers to continue writing complex logical directly with PHP but leverages the speed benefits of C++. HipHop is more than just a theoretical exercise and currently powers the majority of Facebook servers. This session will cover using HipHop and some of the code changes required to use it. Scott MacVicar has contributed various extensions and improvements to the PHP core over the past few years. If something is wrong with fileinfo, JSON or SQLite3 it's likely something he did. He is also the current President of the PHP London Usergroup and presents frequently at conferences on databases, caching and scaling. Scott is also the admin for the Google Summer of Code program and has written numerous PHP articles. When not connected to the internet, Scott runs marathons and cooks!
