PHP JHB: Inaugural Meetup
Details
Good day everyone.
So for those who came to the meet and greet: Thank you (for those that didn't here is your time to redeem yourself!)
Our first real meetup is taking place Thursday 27th Feb @ Flow's Offices.
Flow have been kind enough to sponsor a venue, and sponsor some drinks for us. So our speakers for the evening are:
Richard Frank - Flow
Building a web development business: 10 lessons we've learned
Will cover dealing with clients, firing clients, billing, finding staff and retaining them, scoping, building third-party relationships, etc.
And
Zander Janse van Rensburg - Flow
Oh Hai, Laravel!
At the previous meetup I noticed not a lot of the people there have been introduced to this amazing framework. This will be a short introduction to hopefully get you interested enough to go play with it yourself.
If there is time we would also like to introduce a new topic: What I Gone Done Did This Week (In The PHPs) (aka Showing Off)
Stephen Frank
As per common practise, we will have the talks, then some general discussion and probably move to the Pub for some drinks and networking afterwards.
Will be great to see all of you again / meet you.
PS. There is parking for 30 cars. Car pool if you want, save the planet etc. etc.
Cool Giveaways:
We have 2 awesome giveaways for all of you who are joining us:
The awesome folks at Afrihost are giving away a 100Gig Capped ADSL bandwidth voucher. Winner will be randomly drawn from the attendance list at the end of the evening.
