Darren, about to start presenting

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 :)

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!
