The inaugural meeting of OrlandoPHP.org is scheduled for April 22nd, 2008, at Devry Campus on Millennia Blvd (it’s actually across from Target, across from Millennia Mall), in room 106. Our proposed topic for the month will be “Framework-Based Development in PHP”, highlighting the differences between the various, popular PHP frameworks. Among those slated for discussion:
- Zend Framework
- cakePHP
- CodeIgniter
- Symfony
- Roll-Your-Own!
Additional suggestions are welcomed, below, and “experts” in those frameworks suggested are encouraged to participate, as we’re planning for an open-panel-style discussion rather than a slide-by-slide presentation. Please provide feedback and comments below on which frameworks you use in development and why, or why you’ve chosen a different route. Seeya there!
The OrlandoPHP.org Team
Gosh, that’s a lot to put in one title…! Don’tcha wish that WordPress had a subtitle tag? Seriously. Anyway, thanks for dropping by, all you ppls from Meetup.com! Maybe Sway will drop by, too, and say a couple words. I know someone that works with him, I think, so who knows? If you’re wondering what this group is all about, well, you’re looking at it. No, no, not the inane ramblings of some recent Wordpress convert (still hate this thing, BTW); I mean the vague reflection you’re almost not-seeing in your monitor screen. Unless you’ve got one of those glossy MacBook Pro screens, primarily designed to satisfy their owners by providing the gawking stares of onlookers in perfect clarity. 
Yes, it’s you we’re after. Not for your money or credit card information, not even for your precious cheezy poofs, but for your yet-unthought thinkings and yet-uncoded codings and lots of other yet-undone doings (that are conveniently free of copyright infringement). So stick around, check out a meeting, and provide valuable attention dataz, which feed the All-knowing Google.
