Dependency Injection in PHP 5.2 and 5.3 View session page
English session
Developers are getting more professional every day by using web design patterns to solve common problems. This session will introduce one of the less-known design patterns in the PHP world, but also one that can greatly improve the decoupling and the testability of your code: Dependency Injection.

Symfony Components: What's in for you? View session page
English session
Every month, the PHP developer toolbox gets better thanks to the PHP classes provided by ezComponents and the Zend Framework. Back in May 2009, the Symfony project announced yet another library of PHP classes: the "Symfony Components". In this session, I will give a quick overview of the components that you won't find elsewhere, how you can use them within your next project, and what's planned for the future. I will also highlight the benefits they can provide in a Zend Framework project.
