[FX.php List] DevCon closing keynote on Zend Framework. Thoughts?

[Joel Shapiro]

Thank you both, Chris and Stephen  (!)

Chris, your point about this being more strategic than a regular  
session is a good one.

And Stephen, now with the not-quite-yet-news about the new API,  
Paul's session will probably be more relevant (When I'd first seen it  
listed, I figured I already knew how to make FMP and PHP communicate.)

Hopefully I'll be able to find a late flight out and not have to  
choose one over the other.

Thanks, and see you there!

-Joel
