We know there are many people out there doing amazing things with PHP, and we want to hear from you! If you live in the local area in and around one of our seven cities (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Washington DC, or New York City) here's your chance to show your stuff.

Nate Abele will be joining us for the first three cities of the CodeWorks tour. As lead of the CakePHP project, he brings a sound knowledge of PHP, frameworks, and best practices. Welcome, Nate! We're glad to have you aboard!

We are so glad that Ben Ramsey will be joining us on all seven cities of the CodeWorks tour! Ben brings to the tour his extensive knowledge and experience, particularly in the areas of web services and HTTP.

Our Summer Webcast Series continues this Friday with another great free webcast hosted by Sumit Chawla on ways to make PHP interoperate with Microsoft technologies (which, as it turns out, is not as difficult as you might think!).
