pat at O'Reilly Open Source Convention :: a programmer's best friend

This year, I will be giving a talk at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) in Portland/Oregon. The session is an introduction to PEAR, entitled PEAR For The Masses and will feature the usage of the installer, error handling concepts, pearweb and I'll also showcase some of the most important concepts.
The OSCON focusses on open source technoligies, ranging from Linux to MySQL, Perl and XML. This year is the fourth year that there is also a PHP conference.
My session will be the last of the PHP Conference, it takes place on Friday, July 30, I hope I'll see you there.
