There is nothing wrong with procedural programming in PHP. However, as applications grow in size, age, and lifespan, you willneed object-oriented programming techniques to keep code readable, maintainable, and extensible.In this workshop, Stefan Priebsch,co-founder of thePHP.cc, will teach the attendees why and how to properly apply advanced OOP concepts to PHP code using real-worldexamples.To avoid reinventing the wheel, and help you write a well-structured web application, we will introduce importantarchitectural and design patterns (reusable solutions to commonly occurring problems). Knowing and understanding these designpatterns is an important precondition to successfully use frameworks and other third-party OOP code.Get equipped with asolid vocabulary of OOP techniques and best practices that will help you write better code, starting tomorrow.

The examples that were used provided what was probably the most coherent explanation of the purpose of (and difference between) Interfaces and Abstract Classes I've seen. It will change the way I work with them in the future. Very good introduction to OOP and PHP's object toolset.
I enjoyed learning about the subject/observer pattern because it demonstrated the use of SplObserver and SplSubject classes that are not documented in the PHP manual, http://www.php.net/spl. A place with more documentation of the SPL (Standard PHP Library) classes and interfaces can be found at http://www.php.net/~helly/php/ext/spl/main.html.
The presentation itself was good, although I disagree with the title. To me, this was more of a an introduction to OOP and basic design patterns. I choose this talk specifically for the 'Advanced Design Patterns' and left the discussion disappointed that I did not attend one of the other presentations for this time slot.
Still, the presentation was good and if it was titled more appropriately, I would rate this a 5.
One of the talks that made CodeWorks worth every penny! I especially enjoyed the Computer Science-ish (almost philosophical ;) look into patterns, as to why some are good and some evil.

Even if you think you know it all, I think you'll come out of this talk learning something new. Excellent!
