The Orlando PHP Meetup Group

The Orlando PHP meetup is for web development professionals looking to discuss and learn about the C-type programming language PHP, which is used in a variety of common web applications. We meet on the third Thursday of each month to present and discuss projects we're working on and trade stories from the workforce. We're currently working towards a goal of completing the Zend PHP5 Certification test as a group and looking for a community service project that would serve as a teaching tool to that end.

    The Orlando PHP December Meetup

    Orlando, United States

    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?

Past events

  • The Orlando PHP November Meetup

    Fri, 6 Nov 2009, 00:00 - 02:00 in Orlando, United States

    Well, our September meeting was another rousing success! We had lots of new faces and plenty of returning nerds; thanks to everyone who came out! Chris Chubb gave us an illuminating look at PHP 5.3, and Ken Nordquist (a Rubyist but otherwise nice guy) gave a brief presentation on Flow Player - a free, open-source flash video player.

  • The Orlando PHP October Meetup

    1-2 Oct 2009 in Orlando, United States

    Thanks to everyone who came out for the August meeting. I wasn't able to come myself, due to family vacation time, but everyone I've heard from said it was terrific. Thanks to Derek Gallo for running the mike in my absence, and thanks tons to Erik Hersman of Ushahidi for the presentation. For September, Ken Nordquist (a known Rubyist but still an okay guy) will be presenting on Flowplayer, an open-source Flash video player that's got a lot of nice features.

  • The Orlando PHP September Meetup

    Location change: we're meeting at the clubhouse at Camden, downtown, courtesy of our super awesome member, Demetrius Ford (who has excellent taste in avatars, BTW). The address is:688 N Orange AveOrlando, FL 32801 | (map)Demetrius says we can park in the parking lot in front of the complex (probably also in the adjacent lot for the China Glass building, says me). The clubhouse is inside the main complex.

  • The Orlando PHP August Meetup

    6-7 Aug 2009 in Orlando, United States

    EDIT - Location change! In order to better facilitate the presentations this month and to evaluate the spot for Erik's presentation next month, we're trying out the clubhouse at Camden, downtown, courtesy of our super awesome member, Demetrius Ford (who has excellent taste in avatars, BTW). The address is: 688 N Orange Ave Orlando, FL 32801 (map) Demetrius says we can park in the parking lot in front of the complex (probably also in the adjacent lot for the China Glass building, says me).

  • The Orlando PHP July Meetup

    2-3 Jul 2009 in Orlando, United States

    Sorry I'm so late with this, everyone. This month's meeting will be again at Stardust. We don't have a specific speaker lined up, so I guess we'll just "wing it". I've got some presentations in stock that I can give, and you should all bring your PHP questions for the Expert Panel.Thanks to everyone who showed up last month and endured my introduction to Unit Testing in PHP. If we have enough takers, I'll continue along those lines and demonstrate the utility behind the PHPUnit framework.

  • The Orlando PHP June Meetup

    4-5 Jun 2009 in Orlando, United States

    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.
