Campus Talk: Zend Coding Standard and PHP Doc
When: TBD in September, I am leaning towards a brown bag lunch format, so noonish.
Where: TBD on main campus.
I am planning a talk for any interested parties on campus about the Zend Framework Coding Standard and the requirements and benefits associated with adoption. As with any coding standard, the goal is to make code more readable and easier to maintain through uniformity. As with Java coding standards, the recommendations Zend puts forth for PHP also better enable automation tools such as PHP Doc and the Zend Framework Class Loader.
These coding standards were developed with the specific intention of making contributions to the Zend Framework more uniform, but any PHP project can benefit from adoption of some or all of the standards independent of adoption of the Zend Framework.
The format will be a brisk 20 minute presentation on the coding standards along with a bird's eye view of the Zend Framework, Zend Studio (code editor), and PHP Doc. Following the presentation I would like to open the floor up for discussion of related topics such as the costs and benefits of:

- implementing coding standards.
- varying levels and approaches to code documentation.
- coding methods supported in PHP such as "scripting" vs. "objects".
