PHP West Midlands Meeting

Last night was the first meeting of the West Midlands PHP User Group. The phpwm is a mailing list group of around 100 members and now we’ve placed some names to faces.

Jono Bacon organised the meeting, and Open Advantage graciously hosted it and even provided food! To get us started, we had three short talks:

• David Goodwin of Pale Purple talked about Smarty and separation of business code from display code.
• Elliot of Open Advantage introduced the Eclipse IDE and subversion integration
• Jake Stride of Senokian introduced us to EGS and talked about running a commerical company providing open source solutions.

We then went down the pub which was cool, although the music was a little loud!

Hopefully this will turn into a regular event!
