Before getting into the details of what the talk will cover, let me
introduce  our sponsor:

Ever wiped our your customers data on their web server? Ever wondered
what would happen if they sue you? who would defend your claim in
court?

This is a case where a professional indemnity insurance would protect
you from the clients lawyers and claims.

protection. He will be giving a small overview of how professional
indemnity works and will be available for questions from any group

Presentation overview

Topic: Debugging techniques for PHP programmers
Speaker: Jochen Daum

Speaker background: Jochen started his PHP career when building a "web
server on a CD" system for Wella AG in Germany in 2001. Since coming
to New Zealand in 2002 he has worked in several roles as a programmer
and software architect with PHP. Since 2004 he offers his services of
website system development, maintenance and consulting through his
company Automatem Ltd.
Throughout these years, Jochen has come across a wide variety of
off-the-shelf CMS and E-Commerce applications as well as build a
number of website himself from scratch. He has also build his own CRUD
framework phpdbedittk.

"Being a to debug PHP and analyse a problem fast has always been a
business requirement throughout my career. The presentation will not
so much focus on using debugging to provide or deepen an understanding
of a php application, but rather to be able to analyse and fix a
problem quickly."

The presentation will cover the following areas:

- My code guidelines in light of debugging
- PHP debugging facilities: functions, error logging
- Common debugging methods: divide an conquer, backtracing
- Comparison between text editor and IDE as a debugging environment
- Human behaviours and debugging
- Other outside debugging facilities overview: Firebug, Wireshark, Fiddler
