About us
The Seattle PHP User Group (SeaPHP UG) is a volunteer-run PHP user group, and invites anyone with a desire to talk and learn about PHP and related technologies to gather together, share their knowledge, and promote the PHP community in the Seattle, WA, and Puget Sound area.
This group currently meets monthly to sharpen skills, network with other PHP developers in the area, learn new ideas and technologies, find jobs, and laugh. Check our meetup page regularly for details about each upcoming meetup.
In 2016, Seattle PHP became a 501c3 organization. This means donations you make, can be tax deductible.
How We Communicate
Please review our Code of Conduct.
The Seattle PHP community uses 2 types of communication on Meetup - the Mailing List and Message Board. We use the mailing list for developer discussions — asking/answering PHP questions, frameworks/CMS, Databases, architectural trade-offs, and receiving announcements. The Message Board is great for things like job postings, requests for work, event announcements, and sharing interesting news articles.
If you are a recruiter or you are offering a job, please use the Message Board to post the job opportunities
We encourage you to attend in-person meetups to announce jobs. Connect with people you want to hire! We provide a few minutes of dedicated open mic time at the beginning of the monthly meetups. Thanks for participating!
Have Ideas or Recommendations to Share
• Do you have some event ideas?
• Would you like to sponsor the meetup, or have items to raffle? We are grateful for your support.
• Interested in helping out?
• Would you like to speak at a meetup?

MergePHP: Advanced PHPUnit Shenanigans
·OnlineOnlineHopefully by now, you know that testing is important, and you've integrated PHPUnit into your workflow. (If not, go watch one of those talks.) So now what?
In this "testing 202" course, we'll explore some features of PHPUnit you may not be using (but should), some techniques you may not have thought of, and how to extend PHPUnit yourself for your own nefarious testing purposes. And we'll answer the question, "so what are traits actually good for?"Presented by Larry Garfield
