PHP Geek Meet

Posted on Sunday, March 22nd, 2009 under , , ,

I’ve attended the first PHP GeekMeet in Cluj (for those of you that are geographically impaired, this is Cluj). I’ve held a presentation on Zend Framework, a long yet not as boring as I thought, 2 hours long presentation. My colleague Alex Novac from Zitec also held a presentation about optimisation techniques in PHP and disassembled a simple == operator call to see what happens below . The other presentation, although not strictly PHP related, was held by Andrei Gheorghe on scalability techniques.

I consider this edition of GeekMeet to be a succes and I congratulate Mihai for it.

PS: my presentation can be downloaded here.

    Hello,

    nice presentation, wish i could be there to see it live.
    One question about the presentation:
    Why do you say that the models in ZF have no parent class ? Isn’t using Zend_Db_Table a recommended solution ?

    Well, in Zend Framework you have no *mandatory* parent class. You can extend from Zend_Db_Table or any other class that suits your purpose, or you can write a model from scratch. In other frameworks, like CakePHP, you have to extend from the AppModel class or it won’t work at all…

    PS: I also use Zend_Db_Table as a parent class….
