PHPSouthAfrica is a 2
day conference (October 4th & 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.

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).

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.

Come and experience our great wine, food, beaches and people.

We would like to welcome you.
