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.

    For those of you that haven't figured this out yet, if I can't come up with another idea, presentation, or volunteer, we usually default back to the easiest thing for everyone to participate in: Coding Dojo. The rules are simple, everyone that wants gets a turn at the keyboard, and we all usually learn something. Best of all, I don't end up making endless presentations to the group!Here's the gist.First, pick a problem. A trivial problem.

    Hey, guys, this month we've got a guest speaker from Akiban Technologies talking about their new open-source project... Check it out:Renormalize: When SQL Meets DocumentsHave queries that suck? NoSQL document stores are generally considered at the opposing extreme to relational databases. Schema and SQL are perceived to be at the core of the problem. Akiban Server is an open source database that brings document stores and relational databases together.

    So by popular request, I've decided to give one more go at my talk from Indieconf 2011 and FL Drupal Camp 2012 entitled "Don't Work Without a Net". So far, the 45m allotted time slot has proven insufficient to complete the thing, so before I break it up or down or sideways, I thought I'd give it a shot with a little more breathing room. So...Don't Work Without A NetI see it all the time. People getting permanently injured on the job.

    Hey, all. This is NOT a repeat event; it just didn't go off like expected last time. You may recall that ZendCon graciously provided a ticket to the 2011 conference back in October and that our very own Curtis Miller was the lucky recipient. Well, he's back from out West (very back by now) and ready (let's hope) to tell us all about his adventures, what he learned (besides which terminals to avoid), and who he met.Looking forward to another great meeting this month,David @ OrlandoPHP.org

    For those of you who actually pay attention to the website, you may have noticed the big ZendCon banner in the left-hand column. They sponsored one of our number to attend the big Z in California this year, our very own Curtis Miller.Now back from the depths of Silicon Valley, Curtis will lay on us the wisdom of the West Coast PHPers. Can you dig it?More details to come as Curtis supplies them.

    The April meeting will feature a talk by Chris Chubb on RedBean ORM, the "Easiest ORM" to learn, use, enhance and integrate into your application.Some of the PHP apps we write are well engineered in advance, fully documented, written by dedicated teams of professional developers against firm deliverables. This talk is for the rest of us that live in the real world. Specifications are flexible, data changes are made daily and your ORM should be able to keep up. RedBean does just that.

    <p>Per Ketema's suggestion, Mike Bernat of NFi Studios will share the process he used to setup their CI server using PHP Under Control and Cruise Control. This is going to be a heavy one, I'm sure, considering the technologies and concepts involved. After all, CI works best when you've actually got unit tests. :D</p><p>We're still meeting in the same old place for this one:</p><p>Camden Clubhouse <br />688 N Orange Ave <br />Orlando, FL 32801 <br /><a href

    The last few months have been a blast at OrlandoPHP, helping Caike get the Orlando Coding Dojo kicked off. For those of you who've missed out on the fun, you can find Caike's recaps on the Orlando Coding Dojo site and our code projects on the OrlandoPHP Github account. We're going to do it again this month, using another problem from the TDD Mailing List problems. Check them out and get ready to cast your vote.

  • The Orlando PHP April Meetup

It was a lot of fun and really educational!And that's why we're doing it again!Yes, this month we're doing another Coding Dojo. I foresee this trend continuing until we all get sick of it or until Caike has a regular Dojo night of his own that we can all attend.

    Many thanks to Tyler Hunt (a Known Rubyist but Okay Guy) for his presentation on GIT (and the ensuing discussion on source control) and Caike Souza gave us a great introduction to the (brand new) Orlando Code Dojo!

    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?

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.
