Year 2011 is going to end and lots of good things happened to me. In this post, I would like to make the results of this year and demonstrate why working for an Open-Source and open-minded company can make your life more enjoyable.

I was hired by Sensio Labs three years ago as a PHP developer and took the lead of the trainings department forteen months later. My actual job is very interesting in many points. It requests multiple technical, human and commercial skills mixed together. It makes my life enjoyable and rich of surprises.

It's been a while I haven't blogged on my personal space. This is mostly due to the huge amount of professional training sessions I have to give by the end of the year, and my personal projects I'm working on aside my job. Anyway, I'm really happy, proud and excited to announce that I will be speaking at the D-Day Conference in Helsinki on February the 6th.

In a previous post, I announced I will be at SymfonyDay in Cologne to give a Symfony2 workshop. In the last weeks, I received confirmations for talking around the world before the end of the year. Indeed, thanks to my company Sensio Labs, I will be speaking at the Open World Forum (Paris) in September, SymfonyDay (Cologne) and Paris-Web (Paris) in October, OSIDays (Bangalore) and PHPTour (Lille) in November.

Il y a quelques jours, j'ai annoncé sur ce blog ma présence en tant que formateur au Symfony Day à Cologne les 20 et 21 Octobre 2011. J'y animerai une formation de prise en main à Symfony2 et Doctrine.

Cette semaine, l'équipe d'organisation de l'AFUP dont je fais partie a annoncé le programme pour le PHP Tour 2011 qui se tiendra les 24 et 25 Novembre 2011 à Lille dans les locaux du site d'Euratechnologies.

Cette année encore, l'AFUP a choisi un nombre de sujets particulièrement intéressants allant du retour d'expérience aux outils e-commerce comme l'intégration de Magento ou de solutions propriétaires. Les conférences couvrent aussi des sujets plus techniques et pointus comme les frameworks, les tests automatisés, le profilage et les performances, ou l'utilisation avancée de XML. A cette occasion, je parlerai de Symfony2 avec une introduction générale aux nombreux outils qui compose ce framework PHP.

Some days ago, the awesome guys at Interlutions announced the new edition of the Symfony Day on October, 20th and 21st in Cologne (Germany). The call for papers keeps opened until July, 31st. I will be giving a Symfony2 & Doctrine 2 workshop with two other awesome guys from the Symfony Community: Jordi Boggiano and Ryan Weaver. If you are interested in learning the basics of Symfony2 and lots of usefull tips from the experts' voice, just keep track of the soon to be opened registration process...
