Back from the conference
The annual PHP Quebec conference was held last week. As always, it was a lot of fun. As an organizer, I didn’t get to see much of the conference itself. Out of the 30 sessions on the scheddule, I only got to see around 3 of them. With an average of 4 hours of sleep per night, I couldn’t really sit in a conference room for hours and attempt to listen to the speakers. Since all the sessions have been recorded, I will get to listen to them when they become available for download.
The conference itself had a different feel than the ones in the previous years. We were used to have a track dedicated to business cases. The track was not really popular and this is the reason why we decided to cut it for this year, but it used to bring different people and perspectives. This year, it was replaced with a track focused on development methodologies, which ended up being quite popular.
Getting back to reality wasn’t so easy. I should have spent the day catching up on my school related work on Sunday. The exam period begins on Friday and all I could do is catch up on my emails, blog reading and sleeping. Might not have been the best choices, but I guess I couldn’t do anything more demanding.
