My first video training
Video2brain is the leading company in producing high quality video trainings located in Graz, Austria. They produce videos on a variety of software topics like graphics, web design and programming. The trainings are done by highly educated trainers from all over the world talking mostly about their major topics to give the trainee the best and most valuable lesson.
Screenshot of video2brain website.So I went to Graz and met Cornelia, my contact at video2brain, and Sascha Kersken, the second trainer of the PHP5.3 PowerWorkshop to be recorded. After an introduction to the system, getting known to the video2brain crew, and final decisions about the structure and details of the workshop, we finally recorded our first video. The result was quite promising and we were very motivated for the next sessions to be recorded. On sunday we needed to pause the recording and I went for a vacation in vienna.
After a very nice week of vacation and being well relaxed we started with the second part of our training, recording some best practices when programming PHP like design patterns (Dependency Injection, RecursiveIterator, Subject/Observer, etc). For this we used a simple class to start with and introduced one pattern after another to a nicely integrated system. As this grown example looked so promising we decided to do the coming chapters, documentation and testing, on top of it. This turned out to be a briliant idea and the trainee has a growing example at hand to recognize each step. But as all good times end, we finished the recordings on the following monday and I head back home with a deeper knowleadge of Namespaces in PHP and a very good feeling in my gut we did a very valueable and rich training. So watch out for it in december.

PHP Power-Workshop und eine Verlosung on Sat, 22 Jan 2011 21:42:03 +0100 in Bastian\'s Blog
Ende letzten Jahres habe ich zusammen mit Sascha Kersken mit der Unterstützung von video2brain einen PHP Powerworkshop aufgenommen. Dabei wollten wir uns nicht einfach in die hervorragende Gilde der Videotrainer einreihen, nein, wir wollten was ganz Neues machen. Das Resultat ist ein interaktiver Workshop, in dem Sascha und ich uns über die Neuerungen und Fallstricke von PHP 5.3 unterhalten und so dem Zuschauer mit viel Abwechslung und Spass die behandelten Themenbereiche näher zu bringen.
