Laracon 2016
This year marked my 3rd Laracon US in a row. If you’re not familiar, it’s a conference focused on the Laravel PHP framework. Many of the talks have nothing to do with PHP or Laravel itself, but a majority of them are technical talks that elaborate on an idea or spell out complex subjects.

I started with PHP 4. By many accounts I was late to the PHParty, but when you take into consideration that PHP4 releases happened in the early 2000s, I’ve been using PHP for over half of its life…and mine.
Velocity 2015
On May 29th, I went to the Velocity conference in Santa Clara. This is probably my fourth or fifth time going to this event, and each year it solidifies its position as one of my favorite conferences to attend.
