PHP Meetup: 2016 Gritty Reboot

Hello! You may not have noticed, but this PHP meetup now has new organizers!

We would like to thank the previous organizers for letting us keep the meetup going as we build on all their hard work.

Vancouver has a diverse set of meetup groups for all different programming languages, and as PHP developers ourselves, we think it’s important that we represent our team in the city. To that end, we have some big plans for the meetup moving forward, but the most important piece is growing the community here in Vancouver.

We plan to have more consistent meetups, focusing on smaller presentations that provide practical knowledge for developers of all skill levels, and working toward a strong, supportive community. It would also be great to have a few larger-scale “big” events sprinkled throughout the year (hackathons, special guests, etc.). If you have any suggested topics, events, or speakers you would like to see, please get in touch.

Where is it?

CodeCore - 142 W Hastings St (https://goo.gl/maps/7XTMH8e3vYu)

Any food or drink?
