Akra’s DevNotes

On Tuesday, PHPWM had a meeting at PSL Connect's offices where Darren Beale talked about Symfony.

I took a few pictures and have stuck them up on Flickr. I should have taken my other lens though as the 50mm isn't wide enough for taking pictures in room!

It was a very good talk that covered the basics of Symfony and what it can do. At the start, Darren asked us which frameworks we use and pretty much everyone used a different one! He then went though how Symfony worked and we got to see some code in action too. It was a nice step up from Ian's talk at the PHP UK Conference.

Afterwards we had a drink down the pub which was good :)

I've just come back from the PHPWM social for this month. We meet monthly and alternate between social and technical meets. This month, we met at the Hopwood House pub in Alvechurch, south of Birmingham. We talked geek for a few hours and I highly recommend joining your local PHP user group as it's a great way to meet people who don't look askance at you when you mention MVC!
