Howdy. I am a friend of group member, Barce. We work together at a small web development shop in the City. I'm not a programmer by training, but find myself using alot of PHP in my work.
Pithy intro, Phil. We play and sing songs from The Daily Ukulele songbook - available at some music stores (Haight Ashbury Music) and online. Other music is OK if you make 10 to 15 copies. All level players are welcome.
The SF PHP Meetup is an open forum where PHP developers of all skill levels can come to communicate, learn, network, or just have a good time. We meet on a monthly basis and generally have speaker from the major web site companies in the bay area. Lively discussions or Q&A for hours afterwards.
Our focus is in the PHP world but our topics encompass the entire LAMP stack. Topics include PHP coding, to memcached handling, db optimizations, server stack, web server tuning, code deploying, hosting options and much much more.
