The September meeting's topic will be working with other developer's code; including working with open source projects and picking up the pieces where another developer left off.

No one particularly enjoys this, but it is often necessary.

Share your ideas about how to deal with both good code and bad code!

Come meet other Pittsburgh-based PHP developers!

We intend to offer presentations and discussion of interest to both beginners and more advanced developers.

Some initial topics to be covered will be:
PHP Frameworks - Why, Why Not and Which One?
IDE's - Which tool do you use?
Using cURL to make the web your slave.
Useful *nix commands for PHP developers (you are using *nix, right)
And in breaking news, Microsoft has taken an interest in PHP. Come learn what improvements have been made to PHP 5.3 running on IIS.

We will also feature mentoring. Beginners, please bring along any code you are having trouble with. One of our more experienced developers would love to point you in the right direction.
