Great presentation on PHPExcel and the uses of it for writing Excel documents. Lots of good information on the OpenXML standard and the history of spreadsheets and Excel in general. Very informative.
Mastering OpenXML Documents with PHP
Aaron Wormus (Oct 20, 2009)
Talk at ZendCon 2009 (English - US)
There are many ways to create Excel spreadsheet. In the past developers had to resort to a bag of dirty tricks to accomplish this task. Microsoft's work on standardizing the Excel format using OpenXML has opened the gates for developers to easily create powerful Excel documents. This talk outlines the basics of OpenXML & SpreadsheetML. We use PHP-based tools to create valid Excel2007 documents.

So interesting, and really handy. I have just started trying out PHPExcel, and this was a great way to get up to speed fast.

This was great for me! I had no idea this was even around. My brain is just spinning with all kinds of ideas for intranet reporting.
Thanks for the talk!!
