I’m enjoyed the PHPCamp. The camp organized at Persistent Systems Pvt. Ltd. was attended by over two hundred interested intellectuals. Nice event, nice ppl.
There were sessions about OpenSocial API, Shindig, Joomla-Shindig integration and OpenSocial apps. Nice lunch, followed by the talks about various tools that enhance PHP development efficiency, Server Scalability, Various common vulnerabilities, Web Application Security and Cross Site Scripting issues. There were few more sessions at 4th floor, however I stuck to the sessions on 7th floor.
Pretty smooth registration process, got a nice registration kit 
OpenSocial and Shindig were two interesting things that I was unaware of till today. Am gonna get my hands into shindig soon nuff. OpenSocial are also promising stuff. Build it for one Social Networking Portal that adheres to OpenSocial Specifications, and it will run on all the other portals that do so. Atleast thats what I could get from the entire talks.
Pre lunch sessions mostly focussed on OpenSocial stuff. They also had a session to explain the process of integrating Shindig and Joomla together.
Web application security presentation by Bipin Upadhyay was the most happening thing of the day. This guy actually demonstrated a few running examples of how things break from cross-site scripting, SQL injections and nasty javascripts.
Overall, good stuff.
