Greetings from the Nashville Enterprise LAMP community!

At Big LAMP Camp, Marco Tabini, publisher of PHP|Architect magazine and Python Magazine, will offer a Keynote Address titled “Your Software Is Worthless,” covering the dwindling worth of intellectual property and the ever growing need to stay up to date on the latest in open source software.

Also at the Camp, Eli White of Zend Developer Zone will discuss “Habits of Highland Scalable Web Applications,” covering how to properly scale a PHP web application.
