Back home from the International PHP Conference

That’s it - I’m home again, after almost four extremely rewarding and interesting days at the International PHP Conference in Frankfurt. The conference offered a chance to get together with all the cool guys from the international community, mix and mingle, drink lots of beer (my bar invoice was around 80 bucks) and of course hack at PHP.

Since we had our own booth for the Hardened-PHP Project, we had the opportunity to pitch or little thingy to a wider base of interested developers and administrators, and the discussions at the booth sparked some new ideas for the Hardening Patch. We were also able to show off two advance copies of my (and my coauthor Peter Prochaska’s) first book, “PHP-Sicherheit”. It is the first german book dedicated to the security of our favorite scripting language, and after having it under public scrutiny for three days, I’m now confident it’s gonna be a success. Thanks to everyone for their feedback!

For everyone who’s been in one of my talks, thanks for your interest to you guys and see you on the next conference. I will upload the slides to both presentations to my web server and notify everyone with a separate posting.
