JULY 10th, 2008:
PHP 6 brings fully functional and mature Unicode support to the Web world. This talk will cover all the layers of the PHP (bread)/Unicode (butter)/i18n (jam) sandwich. Come and find out how to work with locales, use collation to compare and sort strings, and format numbers, currencies, and dates for any country in the world. Bring your appetite because the toasty goodness is waiting.

Andrei Zmievski is Chief Architect at Outspark Inc, where he is working on a technology platform for publishing casual, free-to-play MMORPGs. In the past he had worked on internal tools at Yahoo! Inc., specializing in i18n and infrastructure software, such as PHP and Apache. He is also a core PHP developer, leader of the PHP-GTK project, and a co-author of "PHP Developer's Cookbook" and Smarty templating system. His current focus is the native Unicode support in PHP. In his free time he studies languages and linguistics, goes sailing, and travels to other countries.

    Dia seems pretty cool: http://www.gnome.org/projec... I also really like OmniGraffle but its only available for OSX and isn't free or open source.

    Hey Dave, I've had pretty good luck with DBDesigner4 http://www.fabforce.net/dbd... I am not affiliated with fabforce in any way. DBD4 has a couple nice features that have come in handy fo rme: "reverse engineering" and "ability to save model in database" are two of my favorites. The caveat is that I build UML diagrams at need and do not do so on a regular basis. I have no idea how this software stacks against others for those who spend much time doing this sort of thing.
