Los Angeles PHP Developers Group is announcing the joint session with our colleagues in Orange County at OCPHP. Taking the opportunity of the CodeWorks conference in Los Angeles, we managed to secure the presentations by some of the top and active developers in the PHP community.
Ben Ramsey, Cal Evans, and Jason Mauer will each be doing a short (10-15 minutes) presentation. There will be time to mingle afterwards as pizza and refreshments will be provided by Hensel Hosting http://www.henselhosting.com/

Thanks to CoWorking Fullerton http://www.coworkingfullerton.com/ for providing the venue.
The following books will be Raffled (all un-used):
* Essential PHP Security (O'Reilly)
* Securing PHP Web Applications (Addison Wesley)
* Professional PHP 5 (Wrox)
* Dojo (Addison Wesley)
Do you have PHP books in good condition you no longer use? Come by and drop them off at the meetup. They can then be raffled/given away at various future OCPHP events. This is a great way to help others in the local PHP community and a great way to recycle those dust collecting books !
RSVP early if you can attend for sure. Seating may be limited so come early. This is a presentation and mingling affair so laptops may not be necessary but bring a notepad if you wish to take notes.
Exact topics for the presentations will be posted at a later date so check back here before attending on the 24th.

Thanks to our Venue Sponsor: CoWorking Fullerton
Coworking Fullerton is the ideal office for all people who have a business or work on a business but do not (always) have a regular office to go to. We try to be that home. Where you can walk in, feel at home, drink some coffee, bring your lunch and get work done! Its a productive environment for people that need to be productive now and then, but sometimes miss the watercooler to bump into some cool coworkers you can talk to and help each other out. Coworking Fullerton is a place where any (home based) business owner, or professional can feel at home.
We organize workshops and fun events to learn, network and build relationships.
One of our main events is the Jelly, which is a free casual coworking get-together every 2nd Wednesday of the month.
If you get bored of talking to your cat, or still feel lonely at an executive suite where your working all on your own all day. Come check out Coworking Fullerton. Our workshops and events are a great way to get to know people who work here.
