Rock Out with PHP on Windows! (Track 3)
Today’s application developers have an incredible variety of technologies that allow them to create rocking web solutions. While that variety provides choice which is a very powerful tool in of itself, the complexities that arise from choice make it difficult to pick the right technology to implement a web solution. PHP is one of the most popular technologies to implement web applications. Up until recently, Windows was not a good platform choice for hosting PHP web applications for a variety of reasons.

Join us in the PHP on Windows track for a rocking series of sessions that will provide you with an overview of the benefits the Windows Server 2008 platform for PHP solutions, how to build PHP web applications on Windows and how to build user interfaces for PHP applications that pop using Microsoft developer and designer tools.
