Developer Camp 2009 and Open Source Conference at Japans Electronics College

This post is the last of the series of posts about Delphi for PHP sessions and interviews performed in Japan.

We had a meeting to check about the integration of Delphi for PHP with Japanese, and I got this nice present by natane, she contributed a big improvement to the Oracle Native Components on VCL for PHP, and she also has created this two references for Japanese customers.

Delphi for PHP was also present in Developer Camp with 3 technical sessions and 1 Open Talk session:

• Visual PHP programming with Delphi for PHP
• Delphi for PHP Tutorial for Delphi Developers
• Delphi for PHP Database Application Development
• Talk about "Delphi like" concept with Delphi developers

There were around 60 people on each session, the event was really well organized, and the work of the three interpreters that helped attendants with english-japanese translation, was great. All the material is recorded, so probably will be online in few weeks.

I had also the opportunity to go around and visit some electronic shops, and on this photo you can check the Delphi for PHP book available for selling on the PHP section at a bookstore:

On friday, we attended the Open Source Conference at Japan Electronics College, and was exciting see so much people on the booths. The session presented was:
