# Comparisons of different coding standards. I'd worked up a comparison of eZ Components and Zend Framework standards to contrast against PEAR's. # Functional testing. Mike put a lot of effort into the unit testing section, and I'd done an additional section on functional testing -- testing against fixtures, such as test databases, sandbox services, etc. # Repository layout. Mike actually talked about this briefly, but we'd intended to show some designs for subversion layouts, and how to create and use branches and tags. # Subversion hook scripts. We mentioned their existence, and some uses, but we'd hoped to show how to add these to your repository, and some sample scripts. # Mailman. How to setup archived mailing lists. # Capistrano. Mike mentioned this tool in the talk, but did not have time to go into examples of usage.

In addition to regularly publishing articles and books, we also contribute to FOSS software and speak at leading industry conferences. Here you can access the materials in the OmniTI knowledge repository.
