Today the local PHP Users Group (PHPMS) realized its first coding dojo.

It was my second dojo (the first was yesterday :P ) and I think it’s a very interesting thing you should consider to do to improve your coding, communication skills and SPECIALLY your patience! It’s a great opportunity to meet new people and solve problems the RIGHT way.

Today, the goals were very modest and we decided to solve a very simple problem, the Google Codejam’s Old Magician Problem.

You can see all the pictures I’ve taken during the event here.

The 3rd PHPMS Workshop

The 3rd PHPMS¹ Workshop was held here in Campo Grande last Saturday (Mar 27). We had presentations about SEO, WordPress MU and Guilherme Blanco gave two talks about Doctrine, the first one was an overview of the tool and the second integrated doctrine with the Zend Framework.

I couldn’t attend the presentations in the morning, but the presentations in the afternoon were quite nice. We also had a round table about “The PHP programmer skills”, in which I was one of the “guests”.

The PHPMS Workshop was a success, again. More than 40 people were present and I believe that each one of them learned something.

We also had a great  phpinga² in a local pub here in Campo Grande.

Saulo Arruda also posted about the round table (in Portuguese) and here you can find some more pictures.

¹ PHPMS is the local PHP Users Group. “MS” denotes “Mato Grosso do Sul”, the state we live in.

² “PHPinga“s are traditional meetings of the Brazilian PHP community (and also worldwide, I suppose). People usually drink some beer and talk about PHP and future events, among other things :)
