Hello Pretty Hot Programmers and HaPHPy new year! Hope all you hotties are well rested and ready to rock 2017 with those programming skills.

At our first Meetup of 2017 we will focus on the popular Version Control System, Git. Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency, but what does that mean and how can Git help you to maximise your PHP potential?

Agenda

What is VCS - Hein van der Merwe
An introduction to Version Control and why its important

Git up and running - Bernhard Breytenbach
Everything you need to know on getting started with Git

Some resources for those who would like to jump in already
