TEK·X is happy to announce that Nate Abele will be presenting his session, “Measuring Your Code” as part of TEK·X.

Last year php|architect and Microsoft got together and hosted a series of webcasts on topics of interest to PHP developers. We had so much fun that we are going to do it again this year. As most of you know, we had so many great proposals submitted to TEK·X that there was no way we [...]

Cal Evans — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 19:52:05 +0000

It’s still not too late to save $100 off the price of a full TEK·X ticket. TEK·X ticket sales are coming along nicely and we fully expect a sold out conference by May.
