We are pleased to announce the July 2013 event for PHP North East, SPL: The Undiscovered Library - Exploring DataStructures.
The event will take place at the Newcastle Business Village - Clavering House (Location and Directions from Central Station to Clavering House). Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Laura Sharpe of Sharpe Recruitment, there will once again be a stack of pizzas for you to enjoy before the talk. The event is free and open to all, but please sign up online so that we have an idea of numbers for the venue, and how much Laura needs to cough up for the pizzas. Feedback, suggestions and ideas for future topics are welcome on our Google Group.
Please promote this event via Twitter or your own website to help us spread the word.
SPL: The Undiscovered Library - Exploring DataStructures - by Mark Baker
A look at some of the datastructures that are built into PHP's SPL library; why, when and how should you use them in your code; and what problems you might you encounter when doing so.

Over those years, he has contributed to a number of open source projects. Currently he is coordinator and lead developer for the PHPExcel library, PHPPowerpoint, PHPWord, PHPProject and PHPVisio libraries - all part of the PHPOffice library suite; and recently had his first pull request to PHP core accepted in time to make its appearance in version 5.5.0.
