Just a little notice that a blogpost was just published over at the Ibuildings Techportal. This is but the first thing you hear from me there, next week there will also be an article on refactoring published on the same site.

It is based on CruiseControl and uses PHPUnit by default. The default symfony unit testing framework is not PHPUnit, so it was time to enable continuous integration for that.

The only thing bad was the fact that FC Utrecht lost in the dutch cup and is thereby thrown out. By Ajax, nonetheless. However, that is quickly forgotten when I think of all the good things.

A new initiative, the PHP Center of Expertise. Once again, an initiative that confirms I made the right choice last year.

They've shown to be (one of) the most professional PHP companies in the Netherlands, and after they partnered with Zend, it all became even more interesting. Now, I am even more proud to work for Ibuildings; they just announced a partnership with PHP|Architect.

Both evenings I really enjoyed myself, both evenings in the presence of some people I know mainly online.

I was really looking forward to the event , and it turned out to be the success I expected . Ibuildings proved beyond a doubt that they organize a killer conference! This year, the DPC is back, and stronger than ever!
