Come out, meet and socialize with other web designers in the Atlanta, GA area.

PHP is one of the most popular languages on the Web, and for good reason. It's fast, easy, and powerful.

This month Matthew Turland will speak about PHP covering basics of the language and best practices from a designer's perspective. This will include basic output, variables, conditional branches, loops, output modularization using includes, coding style, and escaping output for security purposes.

Matthew is the Lead Programmer for a Web application service provider, is Zend PHP Certified, and works with PHP and MySQL on a daily basis. He's also a member of the PHP Community organization and serves as an organizer for the Acadiana Open Source Group. You can also read his blog at http://ishouldbecodin...

There will be a 30-40 minute presentation followed by Q&A and discussion.

See you there!

  “ It is not easy to discuss a coding language when there is a wide variety of skill levels and a very limited amount of time. I think our speaker was fine, and it helped that a couple of other PHPers tagged along for the occasion. ”

  “ I'm glad that I took the time to attend. It was a good talk on PHP capabilities, something that would appeal to designers and novices. It was a candid and light intro to what can be done with the simple but power programming language. I was suprised by the interests in security to newbies. It seems like the moderator was adept at using the language and it was good to see a wide range of people with different backgrounds and skill levels in attendance. ”
