Get Free Training When You Sign Up For php works!

Here's a great opportunity to make the most out of your php|works 2007 attendance: for a limited time (and for a limited number of attendees), attendees who sign up for both the main conference and for the in-depth tutorials receive a free voucher for one of our popular online training classes—a $769 USD value absolutely free!

Hurry! Due to availability constraints, this offer is available only to the first 50 attendees!


Here's how this offer works:

* Fill in your registration form for php|works today—remember that, in order to qualify, you need to sign up for both the main conference and for the add-on tutorial day. You can also call us and sign up by phone.
* Write “Free training” followed by the name of the course (see below) you wish to attend on your sign up sheet
* Fax or mail in your sign-up sheet. Remember that payment is needed in order to qualify: make sure that you write down your credit card number on the form, or send in your cheque with it if you're mailing it
* Once we receive your form and process your registration, our training staff will contact you to schedule your course. Please note that you must attend the course you choose before September 30th, 2007

You can take one of three training courses as part of this offer

* PHP 5 Essentials—if you are new to PHP, or if you are moving to it from another language, this course will provide a thorough introduction to how the PHP platform works and give you a solid foundation of knowledge that will allow you to make the most of php|works.
* Professional PHP 5—if you are already familiar with PHP, taking this course will expose you to some of its more advanced concepts—like XML, object orientation, security, web services and more—and allow you to be ready for php|works's cutting-edge talks.
* Building Rich Internet Applications With PHP 5 and AJAX—designed for students who are looking at using PHP as the basis of their next Web 2.0 application, this course explores the creation of Rich Internet Applications with technologies like JSON, SOAP and the Yahoo! UI Library.

Why Are We Making This Offer?
At every conference, we get a huge number of requests that we include some sort of “crash course” in our tutorial day for those who want to freshen up their skills for the main conference. However, it's next-to-impossible to come up with a good PHP course that can take place in a single day, both because of the great number of topics to cover and because there is only so much that a person can cram in a single day.

Offering a free training course gives us a great opportunity to make the php|works experience truly worthwhile for all attendees. Our online training courses take place over three weeks, with plenty of time for covering all the topics properly and for the students to absorb and understand the materials properly; this way, you not only get a great deal, but you are sure to come to the conference prepared for everything the speakers will throw at you!

Terms and Conditions

* No substitutions—only the courses listed above are available for this offer
* This offer includes only access to the course. It cannot be combined with any other offer, and does not include any bonus products that may be delivered as part of our regular course packages
* This offer is not available to attendees who purchase a student pass
