Matthew Weier O'Phinney is project lead for Zend Framework ( http://framework.zend.com). He is a vocal advocate for best practices and standards in PHP development, including version control, design patterns, and unit testing. While blogging is his normal communication medium, Matthew
is also a regular speaker at PHP conferences, has articles published on Zend's Developer Zone ( http://devzone.zend.com) and in php|architect ( http://phparch.com), and was a contributor to SitePoint's second edition of "The PHP Anthology".
A few things you may not know about Matthew:
- A course in Artificial Intelligence while in college ultimately led to him getting a degree in comparative religion.
- After learning OOP in Perl 5, OOP in PHP was an easy paradigm to learn.
- His typical social networking avatar is a Celtic Knot, and was used by his wife and him on their wedding stationary.
Matthew will be presenting a tutorial on Zend Framework, and we highly encourage you to take part in this interactive and informative learning experience!
