Slides from June’s meetup on Date & Time programming

dave — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 18:37:20 +0000

If you weren’t here, you missed a great discussion, covering this and more. We got recaps of DrupalCon and Tek-X, discussions about server-side Javascript, and even some Drupal advice. It was a small group but a fun night. Join us next month as we discuss MongoDB and the “NoSQL movement”!

May’s Presentation – jQuery

dave — Thu, 13 May 2010 02:31:12 +0000

I figured it was probably a good idea to take the company name off of it, and while I was in there I changed the background to something a little more readable.

Thanks to everyone who came out to our new location! The IIT campus was a hit, and I’m trying to book the room again for next month.

Make Web Not War – Microsoft’s Slides

dave — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 13:48:22 +0000

Wow, big thanks to Dave Bost for the Rosati’s Pizza and an excellent presentation on Microsoft’s web products. And thanks to all of you who came out and joined us for over two hours of exciting information, questions, and networking. Everyone who was there got a free t-shirt and a Visual Studio license, an amazing deal. And now I have a box of raffle giveaways for months to come.

Dave posted his Make Web Not War notes & links on his blog at davebost.com. Here are his slides:

Also, don’t forget to check out the website for the Mix conference, running from March 15-17. This is Microsoft’s annual web designer & developer conference, and they’ll have live streams of the presentations during the conference. After a few days, Dave says they’ll have on-demand streams available too.

Since a few people asked, here’s a link to Microsoft Expression, Microsoft’s new development environment for web programming.

If you enjoyed last night’s presentation, be sure to check out Dave’s Thirsty Developer postcast, rate our meetup at meetup.com, and stay tuned for next month’s meetup announcement for our PHP IDE showdown.

December slides & notes on web application security

dave — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 03:16:12 +0000

There was no way we could cover everything I wanted to talk about in just two hours, so I made a web application security handout (PDF) for everybody. If you didn’t make it to the Meetup, be sure to download a copy.

The slides are always nice, but the really good information comes from our discussions. If you haven’t been to a PHP Meetup yet, you should definitely make time to join our group and come to a meeting.
