It's my Meetup and I'll cry if I want to!
June 4th is my birthday, and I've asked Mike Creuzer (@creuzerm) for a special gift: a presentation on Bayesian spam filtering!
Every day, more than 1000 messages end up in my spam mailbox, and only one or two actually make it to my inbox every couple days. Things weren't that good ten years ago -- what changed? A few years ago, Bayes' theorem revolutionized spam filtering by monitoring the probability that each word in a message is a sign that it's spam. This was a revolution! Spam numbers dropped almost overnight!
Mike's going to explain the math behind this technique in terms everyone can understand (right, Mike?), and you'll come away with a new tool to fight all kinds of spam, whether in email, on a contact form, or in blog comments.

Suburban Chicago PHP & Web Development December Meetup
7km away in Wheaton
Make Mine Mobile! I'm totally psyched about getting a smartphone this summer. So, I immediately started looking into what it would take to make mobile-friendly websites. Come along as I survey the mobile landscape, and explain the limits and potentials of this hot topic. You don't have to own a smartphone to get a lot out of this month's exciting presentation. In addition, I'll be giving a brief demo of Balsamiq, a tool for prototyping user interfaces and discussing why this tool ROCKS.
