ZendCon 2008 - Day 2
Posted on September 16th, 2008 in PHP, Personal Messages
Wow, today was an absolutely awesome day. It started with me passing the ZCE exam (which in and of itself was enough for my day to be pretty darn cool). But immediately afterward, as I was walking in the hall, I was able to meet a ton of people that I have wanted to meet for a while. Some of the folks I was able to meet and shake hands with today were:
- Davey Shafik
- Derick Rethans
- Sebastian Bergmann
- Cal Evans
- Chris Cornutt
- Matthew Weier O’Phinney
- Zeev Suraski
I was also able to learn quite a bit of stuff in Wez Furlong’s talk on PDO and Brandon Savage’s talk on user permissions.
After those talks was dinner, which made for a great time meeting people, eating, drinking and walking around aimlessly as though I was trying to find something. The food was awesome, available in large quantity and warm and the drinks were flowing freely to anyone that asked. And it was at dinner that I was able to meet Zeev Suraski, the “Ze” part of Zend.
After a very long day, a lot of fighting with the stupid ZendCon network, lots of good food and meeting good people and lots of learning, Jason and I hit the road at about 7:15, tired, but looking forward to tomorrow.
And I am. There are still people I need to meet.
