Two weeks ago almost the whole Mayflower crew met for a three day hacking event: the Mayflower Barcamp 2008. Some colleagues and myself did a extreme programming on the next version of phpMyFAQ. Here’s a short list of the new features we implemented in two days:

– rewrite of the RSS feeds using XMLWriter
– an Ajax powered user search in the administration backend
– an improved template engine
– a public user registration
– a lot of minor fixes

I’ll give two presentation about „Enterprise PHP“ and „PHP 5 and IBM DB2“. The first talk will be about my daily work and how to handle big PHP projects. The second talk is an introduction into the features of PHP 5.2 and using IBM DB2. I’ll present all four possibilities to connect a IBM DB2 database: ext/odbc, ext/ibm_db2, PDO_ODBC and the new PECL release PDO_IBM. If you’re in a reachable distance you should take the chance to meet me. :-)
