Last week was a particularly interesting week. I organised three coding dojos, on three different locations. The first one was at the IPPZ office (one of the companies I’ve worked for), the second one was at the SweetlakePHP meetup in Zoetermeer. The last one was for a group of developers from NOS, a large Dutch news organization. Although that would have been enough, I finished the week with my revised talk “Principles of PHP Package Design” at a meeting of the Dutch Symfony Usergroup in Utrecht…

After working on my book “A Year With Symfony” for four months, I published it yesterday at the Dutch Symfony Usergroup meetup in Amsterdam. It was really great to be able to do this real-time while everybody in the room was looking at the screen waiting for the build process to finish.

The book is hosted on Leanpub, which is a great platform for writing and publishing books. They provide the entire infrastructure. You get a good-looking landing page and they handle all things related to payment.
