We are the capital of Scotland’s premier meetup for all things PHP and more. We love talking about all web technologies, including, but not limited to: PHP & JavaScript frameworks / DHTML & AJAX / programming methodologies and design patterns / CMS’s / e-commerce / hosting / scalability / deployment / Relational & Document databases and any other cool web technologies.
edPUG takes place on the third Tuesday of every month. It is free to come along, but we issue electronic tickets via Eventbrite to control the capacity of the venue.
We usually announce full details of the meetup a week in advance. Be sure to not miss out by keeping an eye on https://opentechcalendar.co.uk and http://www.edpug.co.uk/

edPUG Tuesday 19th April 2016: How I learned to stop worrying and love Regex
Description changed:
Whether you love them or hate them, as a PHP developer, you will encounter regular expressions in all kinds of places.
We're lucky to now have the PHP UK Conference 2016 vides available to watch, so why don't you, like Jordi Boggiano, learn to stop worrying and love Regex!
Let's watch the video together with some beer and pizza, then discuss the best and worst regular expressions we've written or encountered!
This video will cover Regular Expressions from the basics to the darkest corners of this arcane art. Regular Expressions at the core come in handy to achieve validation and text manipulation tasks. In the day to day life of a developer, becoming comfortable with them opens up many more use cases. As one of the tortured souls that actually enjoys writing - and reading - regexes, Jordi will share his passion so that you too can see there is no reason to worry.
