I'd really appreciate suggestions on what you want to talk about, or at least ideas of where you're at in learning PHP - what you think the next thing is you need to learn, or what you recently discovered. Please don't be shy or think you don't know enough yet to contribute!
I'll post an agenda a few days beforehand. One non-coding thing I'd like to talk about: Online identity. This is a hot topic lately for our field and I'd like to hear opinions about where we're headed.

Here's the schedule so far:
- What've you learned lately? What's next? (Group chat)
- Frameworks (what you use, getting started with one, why use one)
- Class hierarchy in PHP ("help! help! I'm being OOPressed!")
- Online identity (user vs. developer perspective, privacy vs. usability, and auth systems)
I'd like to hear if anyone else uses PHP frameworks like CakePHP.
I use codeigniter. I put this together the other weekend for a 24 hackathon kind of thing.
@Gary We won't have opportunity to use TM's office this time, but we can definitely talk about class structuring a bit.
Here's my loose schedule:
- What've you learned lately? What's next? (Group chat)
- Frameworks (what you use, getting started with one, why use one)
- Class hierarchy in PHP ("help! help! I'm being OOPressed!")
- Online identity (user vs. developer perspective, privacy vs. usability, and auth systems)
I am so happy this thing respects line breaks.
Hey Matt, If we go back to your old office and no one objects can you cover more about classes and the "proper" structuring of classes?
