I'm not exactly sure why the February meetup copy keeps making the announcement list, but all the more reason for me to get in here and write something, right? :D

Well, last month's meeting was a little thin, compared to previous, but I'm glad you all showed up! We had a great time discussing strings and arrays with Chris Chubb and trading trade secrets with one another. I personally had an interesting discussion with David H and Tony about tree and mesh traversals, and it was great to have Don Organ, former organizer of the Long Is PHP User Group and new Florida native.

Based on his input and that of others in the group, I think it would be best to move our Zend Cert training to a dedicated meeting of its own and spend our regular meeting times discussing group business and socializing, with one regular presentation and one "lightning talk" presentation. That means we need volunteers... And suggestions!

I'm certainly happy to present on any topic the group would like to hear about, and I'm sure that many of our previous presenters would do the same. I think it will be helpful to everyone, as well, if we had an open Q&A session up front - an "Ask an Expert" panel, so to speak - so we'll start that this month, too. If you've got more than a basic understanding of PHP and are interesting in participating in the panel, drop me a line. I have no designs to be the "PHP guy"... so HELP!

    The Orlando PHP December Meetup

    0km away in Orlando

    Thanks to everyone who came out to the October meeting, thanks to Zend for presenting, and thanks to Derek Gallo for filling in for me again while I was out of town at php CodeWorks in Atlanta. If you've never been to a professional conference before, particularly one for PHP, then I highly recommend it: php CodeWorks was a blast and very affordable. Well, that doesn't do you much good, though, does it?

    Hi! The last meet-up was great! Let's have another one and keep the momentum going! Topic: Managing Jobs and Productivity! Description: How do you get into 'the zone' and stay there? How do you handle scheduling, client management, distractions, last minute requests, etc. This isn't a code-focussed meeting per say, although I'm sure we'll bust out some source eventually.
