March Meetup: "Branching Out From Twig" with Paul M. Jones

Nashville PHP is finally back in person! Join us this month at our new location for Paul M. Jones's talk Branching Out From Twig; or, "Yes, you *can* do that with native PHP". He'll give us a short history, discuss why we use them, and review the tradeoffs made by current templating systems. We'll also look at the challenges involved with doing a static analysis of your templates.

We'll have food for everyone, so please RSVP so we know how much to provide!

Fun fact: Did you know PHP was originally designed to be a dynamic templating system for webpages? The creator Rasmus Lerdorf famously said, "I don't know how to stop it, there was never any intent to write a programming language [...] I just kept adding the next logical step on the way."
