The Presentation

After last month's hiatus, we're coming back with a different presentation format for this meeting. This month we'll be having lightning talks. We have two great presenters giving 15 minute talks, though others are welcome to bring a talk of their own to present as well! After the talks, everyone is invited to stick around, play games, and socialize with your fellow developers. 

Jeff Carouth will be presenting The MicroPHP Manifesto and Erick Beck will be presengin RSS and the Simplepie Library.

If anyone else would like to present, feel free to prep your talk and bring it. This is definitely not intended to be formal presentation format, so any style of presentation / talk / discussion is open game insofar as it relates to PHP, web development, or technology. 

When and Where

Once again, Improving Enterprises will be hosting us and being the gracious sponsor for food. We'll meet at 6:15pm on the third Thursday of the month (April 19th). Please RSVP. Select April 19th from the event date select box. We hope you'll be able to join us!

The Speakers
