Friday’s webcast, hosted by Matthew Weier O’Phinney, was one of our most popular yet—and if you missed it, you can now watch it for free directly from our site.

Having a fully functional and highly automated DTAP working environment is a developers dream. There are problems though, not the least of which is that it can be expensive to implement.

Development, Testing, Acceptance, and Production, (DTAP) these are the for development areas your code should move through. How many of them does your team actually deploy?

Over 300 attendees have already signed up for our Matthew Weier O’Phinney’s upcoming presentation on Object Modeling, part of our Free CodeWorks 09 Summer Webcast Series. Get your spot while they last!

This month’s issue will focus on the future of PHP—we cover hot topics that will shape what’s yet to come in our favorite language. We have articles on Unit Testing, Integration, Custom Extensions and the Yii PHP framework.

We’re happy to finally be able to announce the CodeWorks 09 locations for our Miami, Washington/Baltimore and New York City locations—and, in case you were waiting to find out where each event was going to take place, we’re extending the early-early-bird special all the way to July 31st!

We know there are many people out there doing amazing things with PHP, and we want to hear from you! If you live in the local area in and around one of our seven cities (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Washington DC, or New York City) here’s your chance to show your stuff.

If you, like us, have found yourself wandering through the corridors of a hotel wondering when and where the next session you want to attend at a conference is (or, in fact, which session you were actually interested in), you’ll love our new DreamSchedule Generator, which lets you create your own custom schedule and share it with the world (or keep it to yourself)!

Nate Abele will be joining us for the first three cities of the CodeWorks tour. As lead of the CakePHP project, he brings a sound knowledge of PHP, frameworks, and best practices. Welcome, Nate! We’re glad to have you aboard!

We are so glad that Ben Ramsey will be joining us on all seven cities of the CodeWorks tour! Ben brings to the tour his extensive knowledge and experience, particularly in the areas of web services and HTTP.
