Did anybody ever post the slides from this meetup, I was really interested in seeming samples of OO PHP code.

  John will be posting slides and sample code soon, so we'll get the word out when he does.

  Durrell, I believe the meeting was also recorded (video) - but not sure where that is currently. (it'll probably take time to edit it & re-encode it) - but that should come out sooner or later.

As usual, good stuff! My only thing is the sound system: It's hard to hear. If you need help with that, let me know.

Good speaker and he covered the topic in an engaging manner with good code samples. I learned things, that's always good.

I don't want to discourage anyone from attending, but be warned that the building will be hot, especially if 50+ people show up. Wear your shorts, and your patience.

I'm pretty experienced with OO so I'm giving up my spot so that someone with less experience can hopefully get it. I am curious about the user/session management part though, will there be any resources posted afterwards?

  Thanks, Chase! That's nice of you. We'll post slides and samples afterwards and will possibly have a video posted later on - trying new equipment, so that's not guaranteed.

I checked with John and this talk is geared more towards beginners with OOP, so if you're already using OOP, it might be too basic for you. Certainly feel free to change your RSVP if you'd like.
