I'm proud to announce that after significant wrangling (just suggesting did the trick, actually ;-), I've found Sebastian Bergmann willing to visit Australia, and teach a 3-day workshop Quality Assurance in PHP Projects. It's scheduled 4-6 August in Melbourne.

Many applications using MySQL are written in PHP... this three-day workshop will introduce PHP Developers to writing unit tests for the backend and system tests for the frontend of a web application as well as managing the quality from development to deployment and maintainance using tools such as PHPUnit, Selenium RC, phpUnderControl, PHP_CodeSniffer, and PHP_Depend. Sebastian is the author of PHPUnit, and long-time contributor to PHP itself.

Pricing is AUD 1695 + GST. Since this is a workshop, the number of seats will be limited to 10-12. Registrations before June 15th receive $50 off.

Around the course dates Sebastian will also be available for consulting and/or in-house training in the Australia and New Zealand region, simply contact Open Query to discuss.
