I am really excited to be showcasing Zend Framework and the work that I have been doing on Zend Amf, maybe some FB 4 sneaks, at SWFCAMP Monday the 6th in Minneapolis. There are great speakers lined up for only $40 dollars of all day training. That’s pretty slick! This mini conference is run better than most major conference because people like Danny Patterson and Dave Shroeder, FlashBelt, make sure it is executed flawlessly. The cool thing about the day is that all of the speakers will be adding onto the same project throughout the entire day. This means that we get to cover a larger application than normal. Little will be repeated and the individual speakers get to focus on their specific topic. It should be lots of fun. Last year we had a turn out well over 100 people, great facility, and the sushi and drinks for the after party were fantastic! If you have ever attended a Flash Camp before this is the next level. 

More about the application we are building:

Jason Grey is building an product comparison application where the user can add products from Amazon or eBay and compare them.  Danny Paterson is  going to be adding peer-to-peer collaboration to the application in his session.  This will allow two users to shop and compare together. To do peer-to-peer in Flash Player 10 we must use the new Stratus beta from Adobe to get unique ids.  These ids need to be registered along with the user’s name in a common place.  So the service we need is a backend that can store current user sessions. Enter Wade Arnold’s talk on using ZendAmf for integration with PHP and MySQL.

This will be fun! I am sure there are more details but you will just have to come in order to find them all out! Check out the main site for more infomation and sign up right now!
