Boston PHP is the largest education-focused Meetup in New England with more than 3,700 members.

We have been meeting since 2002 and typically meet monthly on a Wednesday at Wayfair in Copley Square. We discuss a wide range of full-stack development topics related to PHP.

While our in-person meetups focus on full-stack development related to PHP, our member engagement strategy offers services beyond in-person meetups.  Our mission is to engage all members in continuing education efforts.  For example, we have developed 12 virtual self-study groups that are conducted during the down time between in-person Meetups.  The following groups are managed by volunteer members (Senior Percolators):

**Agile Appetizer**
**Angular Stew**
**API a la Mode**
**AWS Snack**
**Blockchain Lo Mein**
**Drupal Diner**
**Git Lunch**
**HTML5 Brunch**
**jQuery jAM**
**PHP Percolate**
**Social Side Dish**
**WordPress Dressing**

More than 230 members have completed at least one of these courses and are enshrined on our **[Self-Study Group | Wall of Accomplishment](https://www.meetup.com/bostonphp/messages/boards/thread/21...)**.

In addition, more than 280 members receive job postings from other members via our **[Boston PHP Job Board](https://www.meetup.com/bostonphp/messages/boards/thread/44...)** (beta).

We are looking for leaders to join our continuing education efforts. **[Learn how you can participate](https://www.meetup.com/bostonphp/pages/21338174/Senior_Per...)**.
