Open Tech Calendar

edPUG Tuesday 20th May: Nev Stokes talks about PHP and the XML ecosystem

This May's edPUG is the first meetup in the post 1,400,000,000 Unix epoch era.
Some of us have been partying already! - https://twitter.com/allyburns/status/466262631654125568.

It is also the last edPUG in Line HQ, as it will soon be moving to Blonde Digitals swanky offices (http://www.thedrum.com/news/2014/04/25/blonde-digital-completes-acquisition-line-digital) where Blonde will take over sponsorship of the event.

Nev Stokes kindly answered the call for speakers and is talking about PHP and the XML ecosystem in general, not just focussing on using XSLT for HTML templates.
He'll be touching on XML, XSD, XPath, XSL and XSLT (with comparisons to Smarty / Twig) and possibly other related technologies like Schematron if time allows.

As usual beer and PHPizza available on the night, see you there!

Cheers,

edPUG

Forget the April showers, or the fact that it is Leonhard Eulers birthday, we're here to shower you with a PHP talk from the developer of a website many of you will be familiar with - opentechcalendar.co.uk.

We ourselves use opentechcalendar.co.uk to promote edPUG, and several of our members first heard of edPUG through the site. It is an invaluable resource for all in the tech community for finding events in their local area - and beyond!

James Baster started and has ran Open Tech Calendar for almost two years now.

In this only partly scripted honest ramble (let's try to turn the fact he has no slides into a positive point) he'll cover:

Technical issues including Composer, Frameworks, Symfony & Silex with samples from the Open Source code

Some of the process points about how you build a software project yourself and make it Open Source

Some things he's leant being an event organiser himself and having to deal with countless other event organisers
​

As usual beer and PHPizza on the night. We hope to see you there. Tickets limited due to space - get your FREE ticket at http://www.edpug.co.uk now.

With Valentines day over, you can now focus back on the real love of your life - PHP!

In this months edPUG, we hear from the creator of PHP, Rasmus Lerdorf, when he talked at PHP Frameworks Day 2013 in Russia about PHP in the past, present and future.

One interesting question in the Q and A was ”All PHP Frameworks Suck” - true / false?

If you want to find out what Rasmus answered, then get yourself down to edPUG and find out!

Beer and Pizza on the night sponsored by Line.

With 2013 now in the past, 2014 is an exciting year for PHP. Composer really took the PHP community by storm, allowing everyone to make better use of each other’s libraries, and saved a ton of people reinventing the wheel just because there was no good way of managing 3rd party dependencies. Those days are over for good!

This has paved the way for more and more developers to contribute libraries / bundles / plugins / widgets to their PHP tools of choice. It’s never been so good!

If that’s the case, then isn’t it about time people started talking PHP more seriously in 2014? What do you say to the haters? We shouldn't have to keep sticking up for PHP, as those who use it day to day know it's a different language and ecosystem than it was even a few years ago.

In this month’s edPUG, we will play Keith Adams, a Virtual Machinist at Facebook's Talk: "Taking PHP Seriously"

Keith is one of the initial designers and implementers of HHVM, the open source PHP JIT that runs Facebook's front-end. Through a series of mostly fortunate events, Keith became a founding member of The I-can't-believe-I'm-a-PHP-advocate Club. Before working at Facebook, Keith worked on VMware's virtual machine monitor.

In the talk, Keith Adams outlines PHP's strengths and Facebook's attempts at remedying the inconsistencies and misfeatures in the core language.

Come ease in 2014 and watch it with long abused PHP developers over a few beers and PHPizza!
