Open Tech Calendar

The January 5th meet up is going to be presented by Rob Allen (@akrabat)

Abstract:

Recently, I have delivered web applications that are deployed to Windows IIS and IBM i environments and will share the challenges and solutions we came up with in order to use modern development practices in environments that are less commonly used for web apps. Automating your deployment brings many benefits, the largest one being repeatability. In this talk, I'll share some of the issues and solutions required to ensure that your app can be automatically deployed. I'll talk about the options for automated deployment solutions and also look at some of the challenges in terms of both organisational and technical aspects when the IT department is not used to developers having a say.

Before/After the meetup:

A few members will likely be in The Font beforehand for a drink and a bite to eat, and afterwards there'll be a group heading to Soar Point (or somewhere else nearby) for a social catch up.

Parking:

Deacon Street car park is where people usually park, the postcode is LE2 7DP. (There's also spots on the street directly outside the gateway building but they're usually all taken up!) Deacon Street is available from 6pm onwards as we have permission from the University to use the car park.

Google Maps Link - Note the car-park is on Havelock Street (Despite being called the "Deacon Street car park" - we know...)

If you have any trouble parking / finding us, drop us a tweet @PHPem and we'll get you sorted.
