Upcoming Zend Webinars

Every week, my good friend Nili arranges a free Webinar for anyone who wants to learn more about PHP. These webinars are always interesting and if they didn’t keep me so busy attending conferences (or planning them) I’d be at more of them. Here’s a list of the ones that are coming in the next couple of months. Since she works so hard putting these together, I know you are going to want to spare an hour every week or so and attend.

Zend Framework and Dojo Integration
This past spring, the Zend Framework team announced a partnership with Dojo toolkit to provide out-of-the-box support for Rich Internet Applications.

The 1.6.0 release of Zend Framework provides the first steps in this partnership: Zend Framework now ships the Dojo Toolkit distribution, and provides several components for utilizing Dojo’s widget layer, Dijit; a JSON-RPC server implementation; support for creating dojo.data envelopes for XmlHttpRequest payloads; and a view helper for setting up the Dojo environment for your application.

In this webinar, Matthew Weier O’Phinney will explore some of this functionality to demonstrate how you can use Zend Framework and Dojo to create beautiful user interfaces with native remoting capabilities.

You can also see Matthew live at ZendCon this year. If you think he’s good on a Webinar, you need to see him in person!

When you attend your first Zend Webinar , make sure you tell Nili thank you, just because it’s free doesn’t mean it was easy to setup. :)
