PHP as a Social Activity is a meetup for people to Make friends by coding together.

We meet the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month, but this is flexible as we learn what works for attendees.

I decided to start this group to:

* meet other PHP programmers
* exchange ideas
* expand my skills, and the skills of others
* to solve problems together, and maybe blog about the results

This group was NOT started:

* to build a social networking site - despite the title
* if you are building one, that's cool! show up...
* network with recruiters, don't come if you can't code (at least a little bit)

The purpose of this group is to:

* talk about code
* share problems and solutions
* pair programming
* code review
* make friends, something recluse programmers do not do

The purpose of this group is NOT:

* to be a pissing contest about who's the better programmer. obviously someone will always program better than you (or me)
* to show-up but not share, or participate in someway, even if it's just asking questions...
* to steal each others app ideas

Who should join:

* PHP programmers who want to get out of the house

Hi! The last meet-up was great! Let's have another one and keep the momentum going!

Topic: Managing Jobs and Productivity!

Description: How do you get into 'the zone' and stay there? How do you handle scheduling, client management, distractions, last minute requests, etc. This isn't a code-focussed meeting per say, although I'm sure we'll bust out some source eventually. Read more
