This past week I had the pleasure of spending time in Paris, France for the 2010 Symfony Live conference. My first Symfony event was Symfony Camp in 2008 which was a great success. I also attended the first Symfony Live last year where I spoke about Sympal and Doctrine. This time around the Symfony conference was an even bigger success! The community around Symfony and Doctrine has grown a great amount over the years and the event shows that! Many great speakers and topics were present at the conference and it was very exciting to get to be a part of it.

On the first day of the conference I was invited to speak about the latest Doctrine 2! This is perfect timing as Fabien Potencier made available the source code of Symfony 2 the following day. I am very excited about what the future holds for PHP in the coming years as Symfony 2 and Doctrine 2 are really revolutionary PHP projects!
