Introduction

Web developer and aspiring entrepreneur looking to make something happen in the new york tech scene

What languages/frameworks do you use (Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby, etc.)?

LAMP/HTML/CSS/JS/jQuery, Symfony with PHP

What topics might you be interested in?

MySQL optimization/tuning, caching strategies/technologies, application architecture

Do you have any specific areas of expertise? Would you be willing to share it with the group?

I worked on a front-end optimization project that I loved. I think companies often neglect this part of the application from a load time standpoint so I would be happy to share what we did

What is your favorite unit test framework and why?

The only framework I have any experience with is PHPUnit. I haven't had a chance to really play with it so far, though

What is your favorite version control system and why?

I'm getting more into Git these days, although I learned on SVN. I think it depends on the project, but git and github together make version control super easy for small teams. I like that commit != push with git so that I can make multiple commits before deciding to share my changes with the team.

What Aaron Smyth is saying about this Meetup Group

Great event overall. My only request would be for slightly shorter events and more of an opportunity to network and talk with other CTOs
