     Ibuildings is proud to organise the seventh Dutch PHP Conference on June 7 and
     8, plus a pre-conference tutorial day on June 6. Both programs will be
     completely in English so the only Dutch thing about it is the location.
     </p>
     
     <p>
     This year we have 30+ speakers gathering in Amsterdam. The 3-track main
     conference covers topics like PHP 5.5, software design, APIs, Zend Framework 2,
     Symfony 2, security, scalability and more. Our Tutorial Day has an additional
     16 in-depth sessions to choose from.
     </p>
     
     <p>
     Your DPC ticket also lets you into the Dutch Mobile Conference: an additional
     two tracks about cutting edge javascript and non-native application
     development. This year features several side events: a bigger and better
     unconference, a Zend sponsored hackathon, a social in downtown Amsterdam, and a
     Symfony2 certification exam.
     </p>
     
     <p>
     The Early Bird special ends April 28th, so book right away for a 15% discount.
     We look forward to seeing you in June!

            <a href="http://www.phpsouthafrica.com/">PHPSouthAfrica</a> is a 2
            day conference (October 4th &amp; 5th) to be hosted in the most
            beautiful city in the world, Cape Town South Africa.  It is aimed
            at proficient developers, new developers and people who care about
            developers.
        </p>
        <p>
            PHP is one of the most popular web programming languages used today
            to power most websites. As the language continues to grow stronger,
            PHP has now been linked with mobile powered applications. We are
            noticing a migration from mobile language applications to web based
            technologies (JavaScript, HTML5,CSS).
        </p>
        <p>
            PHPSouthAfrica has been a long time coming. With the increased
            demand for PHP programmers, not only locally but also
            internationally, our vision is to marry the latest technologies
            with international speakers. We are creating a conference that
            will hone established developers, but also assist up and coming
            programmers develop and learn new skills.With the conference
            based in Cape Town, it gives us the opportunity to showcase
            “The Mother City,” voted one of the top 10 places to visit and
            home of Table Mountain- one of the New7Wonders of Nature.
        </p>
        <p>Come and experience our great wine, food, beaches and people.</p>
        <p>We would like to welcome you.</p>

        The PHP development team announces the release of PHP 5.5.0alpha5.
        This release fixes some bugs from alpha4 and adds some new features.
        All users of PHP are encouraged to test this version carefully,
        and report any bugs in <a href="https://bugs.php.net">the bug tracking system</a>.
     </p>

     <strong>THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT PREVIEW - DO NOT USE IT IN PRODUCTION!</strong>

     <p>
      PHP 5.5.0alpha5 is shipped with new features and improvements. Here is an incomplete list:
     </p>
     <ul>
        <li>Added the ability to change the tmp dir PHP will use during runtime, using a new php.ini
        entry,
        </li>
        <li>Added mysqli_begin_transaction()/mysqli::begin_transaction(). Implemented all
            options, per MySQL 5.6, which can be used with START TRANSACTION, COMMIT
            and ROLLBACK through options to mysqli_commit()/mysqli_rollback() and their
            respective OO counterparts.
            These changes are reflected in the mysqlnd API as well,
        </li>
        <li>
            Added recvmsg() and sendmsg() wrappers for ext/sockets
        </li>
     </ul>

     <p>You can read the full list of changes in the
      <a href="https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-5.5.0alpha5/NEWS">NEWS file</a> contained
      in the release archive.
     </p>

     <p>

      can be found on <a href="http://windows.php.net/qa/">windows.php.net/qa/</a>.
     </p>

     <p>
      Alpha5 is the last alpha for PHP 5.5. There has been a delay in alpha releases due to late coming new features.
      We are now beginning the betas, and the first beta
      is expected for March 7th. Betas won't add any new features, except the first one, but consolidate the source
      code and fix found bugs.
