When: Thursday, January 8, 2009 — 7pm-9pm
Where: Consulate General of Canada
Presentation: Around the PHP Community
For new and veteran PHP programmers alike, it’s often difficult to find the right place to ask questions and find the best answers and solutions to programming challenges. This month, Ben Ramsey takes us on a journey through the PHP Community to discover the websites the experts use to get PHP news and information and the places they go to ask for help (because even experts need help). He’ll wrap up the talk with a brief who’s who in the PHP Community, introducing you to some of the core developers and familiar faces around the community.
Mini-topic: Design Patterns: The Factory Pattern
Each month, we’ll take a look at a different design pattern, exploring why you might want to use it, and showing how to implement it in PHP.
This month, we’ll explore the Factory Pattern with Brian DeShong.
