The March meetup will be on the 4th Wednesday of this month instead of its normal 3rd. Tim Crider has graciously offered to speak about Zend Framework. Tim will demonstrate how to use Zend Framework components without using all of Zend Framework. Hell cover the following:
- Setup Zend Framework Autloader for use in your application
- Connecting to the database
- Connecting to a cache
- Setting up some simple data objects
This will be slides free, very heavy question and answer oriented, hands on demo of using Zend Framework.

We are meeting in our normal location, at our normal time, just a different Wednesday than normal. Pizza and soda are provided by OmniTI (Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!). Come hungry with your PHP hats on. As we did the last few times, well be heading out for a few drinks again after the presentation. Our after meeting spot of choice is PubDog in Columbia. I hope to see everyone there!
