The Suburban Chicago PHP & Web Development Meetup

Hey, Chicago area PHP geeks! The annual php|tek conference is happening May 19-22, 2009 right in our own back yard, at the Sheraton Gateway Suite O’Hare.

Early bird pricing technically ended last night (I got in just under the wire), but their system is still charging the early bird rate, so you might still be able to get that discount. But, wait, it gets better! Members of our meetup can save an additional $100 on registration; put in “The West Suburban Chicago PHP Meetup” as your company, and click the button for the discounted rate for PHP/MySQL/Linux user group members.

All registration packages include a complimentary 1 year subscription (Print & PDF) to php|architect magazine, a $29.99 value.

Sessions on this year’s schedule that caught my eye include:

• AJAX Testing: Tools and Techniques
• Of Haystacks and Needles (integrating search into your site)
• Untestable Code
• ORM in the PHP World
• PHP 5.3 – Hot or Not?
• Design Patterns in PHP
• Seven Steps to Better OOP Code
• Everything You Need to Know About mod_rewrite
• Coping With Cyber Monday (scaling)

I hope to see you there!
