PHPUK 2009 Review
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Looneytunes posted a detailed review of her trip to PHP UK 2009 over on the PHPWomen site. She says:
Surely such an eminent group of knowledgeable people would have little time for someone as inexperienced as me, and how was I ever going to follow any of the talks without suffering some kind of brain meltdown mid talk? Well I’m very pleased to say that I was wrong! Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, could not have been more wrong!
She also encourages anyone who has ever wanted to attend an event to just do it:
If you work on your own or in a team they are a great opportunity to meet new people, get new ideas, get help and advice and get a look into some of the exciting things that are happening out there at the moment.
