Dangerously close to going the whole of November without a blog post so I thought I'd catch up with a quick review of the PHP North West conference last weekend. London has had a conference for a number of years so it was about time there was one up here so myself and Andy made … Continue reading PHP North West Conference Review

A week and a bit on from the CASE Europe Annual Conference 2008 in Brighton and I thought I'd give a summary of some of my thoughts both of the conference itself and my reflections on some of the issues raised. First a round-up of CEAC08 activity from across the web: Alison Wildish: still waiting … Continue reading A CASE in point
London has had a PHP conference running for a number of years - Andy and I attended the last one in February this year - but there's not been anything up North so far. That's all about to change with the creation of PHPNW and the announcement of the first (of many?!) PHP North West … Continue reading PHP North West Conference
Day three of CEAC 2008 in Brighton... Breakfast Roundtable: Web + Marketing = Future - Alison Wildish (University of Bath) Alison guilted me into getting up at silly O'clock for her roundtable session. So I once again dragged myself across the city for breakfast and interesting conversation. Also at the session were Pamela Michael (Imperial … Continue reading CASE Europe Annual Conference: Day 3

Conference Chair Trisha King (Birkbeck College, University of London) welcomed before handing over to Juliette Pochin and James Morgan for a … Continue reading CASE Europe Annual Conference: Day 1
There's some speakers to do the conference circuit who recycle the same old material each time they present and if I'm not careful I could turn into one of them! At this year's IWMW, they held a "BarCamp" session. If you're already familiar with BarCamps then don't get too excited as it wasn't a proper … Continue reading 10ish five-minute ways to improve your website
A few months ago, the call for submissions for IWMW went out and at the last minute I sent off my idea for a parallel workshop session, "Stuff what we're doing at Edge Hill University". I must admit I didn't really have much idea at the time what I thought I'd talk about other than … Continue reading Stuff what we’re doing at Edge Hill University
Over a month since the last post on the blog - not good! Well this week we'll make up for it as myself, Sam, Andy and Steve D head North to Aberdeen for the Institutional Web Management Workshop. This annual event allows those involved in the provision of web services in Higher and Further Education … Continue reading IWMW 2008
A belated writeup on last week's PHP London Conference. Andy's already written a post so I don't feel too bad! As it turned out we split the sessions so I'll just cover those Andy's not mentioned. First up was Stefan Esser's PHP Binary Analysis. It was looking at using complied PHP bytecode to debug and … Continue reading PHP London 2008
