I keep forgetting to mention this, but I'll be speaking at the DC PHP Conference next week about PHP Security Testing and The Truth about XSS. For some reason, they haven't posted the schedule yet, but both of my talks are supposed to be on Thursday (19 Oct), and that's probably the only day I'll be able to attend.

Here are a few of the things I'm looking forward to:

• Meeting Eli White, Digg's PHP developer
• Hearing all about Mike Naberezny's new company, Maintainable Software
• Learning more about ext/soap from Adam Trachtenberg
• Socializing with old friends and making new ones

There are plenty of good talks to choose from. Rasmus is speaking about Getting Rich with PHP, his excuse to show off the cool stuff he has been playing with recently. You can also attend Laura's talk about Writing Maintainable Code and Ben's talk about XML and Web Services with PHP. The conference schedule lists all of the talks under the speaker biographies.

I hope to see you there next Thursday!
