PHP User Group in Singapore

I was very lucky to get invited along to the 2nd PHP user group in Singapore by my good colleague Chris Ismael, where he presented to a packed room of PHP enthusiasts.

At the event, Chris did an awesome presentation on how you could leverage many of the Microsoft, such as the Live Services, like Messenger, and Virtual Earth. At the end we have the opportunity to present the work we did hosting PHP on Windows Server 2008 using FastCGI. At the end of the session we gave away a stack of evaluation copies of Windows Server 2008, it must have been popular because we had very little left.

I hope that we have some people trial out their own sites and applications built with PHP on Windows Server 2008. As we get them I will try and highlight them here on the blog...

Here are some pics from the event...

Integrating Live Services to PHP
