Ed Kietlinski recently spoke at the prestigious NYPHP. He talked about the entire Zend toolchain but spent no small amount of time talking about phpcloud.com and how it fits into the development process.
Big thank yous to NYPHP for hosting the event, streaming the event and making it available to others who couldn’t make it up to the meeting.
If you like the video, or you just want to keep up with what is going on in the NYPHP, bookmark the NYPHP ustream.tv channel and watch the meetings live.
Edward Kietlinski will be at the NYPHP Group on March 27th, 2012…will you?
My buddy Edward Kietlinski – Zend Technology Sr Consultant – and all around heck-of-a-nice-guy will be speaking at the prestigious NYPHP group. Tuesday, March 27th, 2012 at 6:30 PM. (sharp, so the website says) The topic will be “The Zend Server and Developer Cloud”
If it seems like your agile development workflow is stuck in molasses because deployment problems and manual steps are slowing down the process, then this is a good way to improve rollouts and become even more agile. If you’re already trying out the Zend Server trial, you’ll learn how to leverage its application deployment features, and if you’re not, you’ll learn how to take it for a test drive.
If you are in the area, join them at IBM, 590 Madison Avenue, New York, NY (12th Floor). Then go hang with them at TGI Fridays afterwards and bug Ed to don the elePHPant costume. 
If you are like me and won’t be able to make it up to NYC for this even, why not join me in watching it online? All the same great content but you don’t get to network afterwards.
