I enjoy speaking about PHP, Zend Framework, and IBM i, so please contact me about speaking for your organization.
Here are the presentation slides from my r
ecent talks:

a case study of how he took a green-screen order entry application and created a new PHP web interface that runs 100% on the IBM i. He will include details of how he re-used most of the back-end RPG logic while adding new functionality that users love.
Our development group has decided to dive into PHP on both the IBM i and the PC worlds. We sat in on one of Alan’s high level sessions at NEUGC. It was well thought out and confirmed that we were heading down the right development path. Alan clearly stepped us through the process to transition from RPG into PHP. I appreciated his encouragement and enthusiasm. We’ve identified our ‘pilot project’ and are looking forward to it! Thanks, Alan! (See you this June at the VT/NH user group meeting!)
Great job presenting the Zend Framework webinar today. It may be a little too soon for our group to jump in but I see it in our future. Looking forward to seeing you Oct 6 for the VTMUG (http://www.vtmug.org/) mini conference!
