Wed, 05 Sep 2007 08:54:00 -0500

The Zend Developer Zone has an announcement about an upcoming PHP user group meeting happening in Boston:

What is less known is that PHP is also making significant inroads in the enterprise. Join BostonPHP, IBM and Zend as we discuss where Enterprise PHP (and OSS) is going and how it's going to get there. This promises to be a great evening with plenty of "horsepower" to answer your questions.

Speakers for the evening will be Mark de Visser, Zend's CMO and David Boloker, IBM's CTO of Emerging Internet Technologies. The meeting will be happening on Tuesday, September 11th starting at around 6:30pm. The meeting will be held in Cambridge at 1 Rodger's Street. Check out the official announcement of the meeting for full details.

Matthew Weir O'Phinney's Blog: BostonPHP Framework Presentations

Tue, 06 Mar 2007 10:02:00 -0600

Matthew Weir O'Phinney had the chance to present the Zend Framework during a meeting he attended of his local PHP user group (BostonPHP) as a part of a series their doing.

Horde was also represented as part of the evening's fare. It was the first time I've attended a UG, so I got the double whammy of that and being a presenter. Oh, make it a triple whammy -- Boston is a 3+ hour drive from the Burlington, VT area I now call home.

He mentions a talk that Chuck Hagenbuch (of the Horde project) gave on the current state of the project and a bit about his presentation (including some portions that pointed out problems with the Zend_Db component). You can check out this and the rest of the contents of his presentation here [pdf] and here [mp3 podcast].

Kaj Kandler's Blog: Scott Mattocks on PHP-GTK

Wed, 09 Aug 2006 05:59:29 -0500

On his blog today, Kaj Kandler has posted some thoughts about the Boston PHP User Group meeting he attended (for August) and the talk that Scott Mattocks gave concerning PHP-GTK.

Scott Mattocks introduced the basic concepts of PHP-GTK 2. He gave a well researched sample application using PHP and the Gimp Toolkit (GTK). The application queried an online database of events. His presentation went from from an empty window to the mostly functioning application with query form and result page.

Kaj also mentions the time following where talk of widgets and long running tasks abounded. They also asked the question several looking into using PHP-GTK ask - why use it over just a standard web interface? Check out the post for their answer...
