April Presentation - Modern Debugging

KC's PHP User Group at the Stowers Institute (Plaza)

While the TechStars program is in full swing at the Sprint Accelerator, our friends at the Stowers Institute will be hosting us! Join us to meet new people, discuss PHP, and learn something new.

Our Evening Meeting Format

We love Web Development and all things PHP. Our meetings are often a little free-formed, but we shoot for this schedule:

6:00pm - Mingling / Meet and Greet

6:15pm - Modern Debugging Strategies or, what to do when your code plays tricks on you

Dan Holmes will present some debugging strategies available today: tools built into PHP, service websites, toolbars, exception handlers and xdebug.

John Kary will present on Blackfire.io (https://blackfire.io/), the new and easiest tool for profiling your PHP application from BOTH the web browser and command-line.

Eric Poe will present a lightning talk on scalar type hints and return types in the upcoming PHP 7.

All Developers Welcome!

We understand Web Developers often come from all backgrounds, and many work in more languages than PHP. Whether you're curious and just starting out, dabble in PHP on the weekends, write custom PHP on a daily basis, work in a framework like Symfony, Zend Framework, Silex, Slim, FuelPHP, CakePHP or customize CMS products like WordPress, Drupal or Joomla; our goal is that you will find something new, useful and thought provoking.

Interested in giving a presentation to the group, or demoing something you're working on? Contact one of the organizers through Meetup or talk after a monthly meeting to sign up!
