Day 4 - FINAL KEYNOTE!!!!!

This is the final keynote.... OHNOEZ!!!!!!!!!

Even though I've ragged on it, it's been a good experience... Met a few of the people that are devoted to Zend, ZF, PHP, and those that are heavily part of the IRC Channel (#zftalk)...

So Mark de Visser just stepped on stage, to talk about the conference.
650-700 people showed up, which was an increase from last year.
25% of people came from outside of the U.S.
60 Sessions, not counting UnCons!!!!!

The PHP elephant showcased.

Showing us pictures from throughout the conference. Most of which are actually pretty funny.

Joking about how presenters are dressing up (finally).

Shoutout to PHP women! (Matt says, "WHOOO... Women!")

There's a bunch of talk about video, and how it's impacting the internet. How people share, how people dedicate sites to the types of videos being shared.

Day 4 - Session 1 - PHP, JS, AIR, et al

This is our last day at ZendCon, and you can tell the buzz has died down QUITE a bit.


PHP vs JS

• JS is a functional language, the functions are objects.
• Anonymous functions
• Define functions inside functions
• Object model is different, using the prototype model.
• Everything in JS is an object.
• Arrays are not associative.
• No include/require statements
• Event driven model/asynchronous actions.

Communicate via JSON to JS (jQuery).
