April Meeting

Come join us on Tuesday April 6th 2010 for the Minnesota PHP User Group at our sponsors location: Nerdery Interactive Labs, a division of Sierra Bravo!

Agenda

Welcome and Introductions
We will start off by stating off with some housekeeping notes, PHP in the news and followed by a round of introductions.

Overview of the Apostrophe Now 1.0 CMS - Robert Speer
Apostrophe Now is a CMS with a editing style very different from Joomla or Drupal & it's based on both Symfony & Zend with the Doctrine ORM so many of you will already know how to work with it's internals.

Break Time
Get something to drink, talk amongst yourselves, meet some others.

Scalable Architecture 101 - Mike Willbanks
What does it mean to really scale? What design considerations should you keep in mind? What are the best practices? How does it work from moving to a single server environment to a distributed environment?

This talk will focus on answering these questions, providing examples, services and software that can help with scalability

Please Note
This meetup will start at 6:00PM - 8:30PM. Please RSVP so that we have a good idea of how much food and beverages are needed.
