Marcus Whitney, Emma's chief
software architect, was invited to be a keynote speaker
at this fall's conference in
Toronto. The annual event is designed to showcase premier
programmers, innovators and businesses using PHP around
the world. Among this year's software architects in
attendance were Rasmus Lerdorf, creator of the PHP language,
and George Schlossnagle, author of the best-selling
book, "Advanced PHP Programming."
"It is an absolute
honor," said Marcus of the invitation to speak.
"Rasmus is one of my heroes, and to speak right
after he did was one of the biggest thrills I could
imagine, even if it did mean a number of attendees headed
for the snack bar when my name was announced."
This year's php l works conference
was unique in that it was the first to focus on PHP's
application in the business world. "There have
been lots of conferences over the years highlighting
PHP's cool Web tricks and rapid website-construction
abilities," says Marcus. "But there's been
a difficulty showing that the language can hold its
own against the likes of JAVA and .NET as a viable enterprise
alternative. This conference, and products like Emma,
show that it can."

use of PHP and open-source technology, email Marcus.
