What?

PHP Crypto, by Tristan Penman

PHP provides a rich set of cryptography primitives via the PHP Cryptography Extensions library. This talk will introduce you to PHP Crypto through a variety of small but practical examples, with a focus on Hash and Mcrypt. OpenSSL support will also be covered, with a simple Client/Server example.

Tristan is a Computer Security enthusiast, and occasional freelance software developer. He is currently studying Computer Science at RMIT.

SilverStripe CMS, by Marcus Nyeholt

SilverStripe CMS is an open source web content management system used by governments, businesses, and non-profit organisations around the world. SilverStripe CMS started life as an in-house web framework developed by a group of New Zealanders, which over time developed to being a full fledged CMS, subsequently being released as open source in 2006. Since then it has steadily made in-roads in around the world in many varied applications.

This session will be a high level introduction to the CMS’s capabilities, and a quick tour of the underlying Sapphire framework, along with a preview of the upcoming SilverStripe 3.0 release.

Marcus is the Development Manager for SilverStripe Australia.
