CakePHP Workshop in Raleigh, NC (Sep 6-7)

Posted on 29/7/08 by Felix Geisendörfer

Hey folks,

Tim and I are very thrilled to announce the very first two-day workshop for everybody who is interested in mastering the CakePHP framework. The event is a collaboration between Debuggable Limited and the Cake Software foundation.

Special thanks goes to Credit Risk Management L.L.C. for sponsoring the rooms and catering!

Overview

  • Event Info: Raleigh, NC (4140 Parklake Ave)
  • Date: September 6 + 7 (Saturday + Sunday)
  • Seats: max 25
  • Costs: 600 USD / seat (Students pay 100 USD less)
  • Signup: Signup page

Speakers

  • Garrett J. Woodworth (President of the Cake Software Foundation)
  • Nate Abele (Cake Lead Developer)
  • Felix Geisendörfer (Cake Core Developer)
  • Tim Koschützki (Cake Core Contributor)

What to expect

This workshop is going to be very different from standard programming workshops. There will be two tracks in two different rooms. The main track will teach you everything you need to know in order to build great applications in CakePHP. You will be introduced to the MVC Pattern, learn how to setup CakePHP projects and watch a full application being put together over the course of two days. All sessions are delivered by the core developers of CakePHP so the information you get will be top quality and allow you to do things right from the beginning. This way you will save lots of time and money in the long run.

The second track is the most unique however. Instead of having a fixed schedule and sessions you will have the opportunity to directly pick the brains of the people who wrote CakePHP in a personal and informal manner. There is also a good amount of topics we are prepared to speak on like: git, javascript, cake internals and project management - just let us know what you want to learn and we will deliver : ).

In the second track you will also find out about some secret cutting edge things all of us are working on, including some early insights into Cake 2.0 and other unreleased additions to the cake core.

So all in all you get two days full of talks and chatting with the core developers that will be worth your while, including lots of fun in the evenings.

Guys, I feel honored to host such an excellent workshop! Providing the training facility and catering is the least I can do considering all the hard work you folks have put into this framework that you've given us. Web development is so much easier (and fun!) with it. I'm really looking forward to it!

And to anyone who missed out on CakeFest Orlando: here's probably your next best chance to learn from the Cake experts themselves (without having to fly all the way to South America to do it!)

This is Great!!
Could you please do this kind of workshops also in Europe? F.i. in Berlin of Amsterdam? That would be fantastic!

Bobby  said on Jul 30, 2008:

OMG. The only hang up I see is the 6th is my daughter's first birthday. I am going to see what I can do to make it.

Felix Geisendörfer said on Jul 30, 2008:

Bobby: Maybe we can bribe your daughter with a special birthday cake from the CakePHP team? : )

leo  said on Jul 30, 2008:

Sounds great! I second primeministers idea, a workshop in Europe would also be great :)
Hope there will be some audio- or video-recording!? Good luck with your attendees.

NOSLOW said on Jul 30, 2008:

Ha! I love the graphic for the event! There's no shortage of squirrels around here :-)

Bobby  said on Jul 30, 2008:

Felix: Great idea. I am pulling out all of the stops to make this one work.

Kevin said on Aug 01, 2008:

Tim Koschützki said on Aug 03, 2008:

Kevin: Yes we try to record everything.

Khaled  said on Aug 11, 2008:

I am interested in coming out there, but wanted to know if there are any hotels nearby, accomodations, etc. to start to plan my way out there.

Felix Geisendörfer said on Aug 18, 2008:

Hey Michael! Great to hear from you! How are things in Singapore? Heard you guys now have the iPhone as well ; ).

About the workshop: There won't be a web cast but we might be able to publish the recordings of the workshop if things go well : ).

I'll also be in Singapore visiting my sister at some point again but I'll let you know well in advance when I know more details on that!

Cindy Serrier said on Aug 18, 2008:

Hey Stephen,

I am Tim's and Felix assistant and I am helping them with the organisation of the workshop.
I can give you a list with hotels etc. in the surroundings. Write me your e-mail to cindy@debuggable.com and I'll send it to you.

Sincerely,

Cindy

I can not attend this event but I'm *very* interested in attending a future one... do you have any idea what the potential for future events like this would be?

Corey Daley  said on Aug 22, 2008:

Alan (comment above this one) and I will be attending! SCHWEET!

John Petrilli said on Aug 26, 2008:

I just signed up I cant wait to see you all there!

John Petrilli said on Sep 05, 2008:

My train Amtrak was canceled due to the hurrican, and it seems flights are being delayed/canceled. Is there any update if the workshop is still on?

Tim Koschützki said on Sep 05, 2008:

John Petrilli: Hey, yeah the workshop will take place - no changes to the plan. Is there any other way for you to reach Raleigh?

John Petrilli said on Sep 05, 2008:

Tim, Thanks for the response.
I really wish amtrak gave me better notice about their cancelation rather than 9 hours before my train leaves...*sigh*

I am going to find out tomorrow morning if my job will pay for a rental car and gas (its a 10+ hour drive each way), lets hope they do. I have been so excited about this.

Thanks for getting back to me.
