Zend Framework & Doctrine

Gordon Forsythe — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 01:02:54 +0000

A few months ago, I did a presentation at the meeting on putting together a MVC framework containing pieces of Zend Framework and Doctrine. Originally conceived by Cory Powers and myself, the result is named Crystal Core. The slide show presentation can be found here.

Crystal can be checked out via Subversion from here.

If you have any questions about the project or want to help out, please contact me through my website.

June 24th Meeting

Gordon Forsythe — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 03:47:30 +0000

Those of you who didn’t come missed an extremely fun and informative meeting. We upgraded azphp.org to the latest wordpress and in the process fixed a bunch of broken items from the old site.

We learned how to easily install or upgrade an instance of wordpress using subversion. Doing so via svn allows you to easily upgrade or switch between wordpress versions (tags) without mucking about with tarballs and ftp.

All in all, a good meeting. Now, off to Boulders on Broadway for the usual foodstuffs.

Oh and we did the upgrade during this month’s meeting. If you’re not here you’re missing a lot of fun.

Wireshark was Ethereal - June Meeting

admin — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 08:01:29 +0000

Ethereal is a sniffer, a tool for troubleshooting, analysis, and (surprise) development of software.

While ethereal is typically thought of as a tool for networking professionals, and it surely is great at those tasks, it can also be used by coders for looking under the hood or “on the wire”.

Paul Yurt co-founder and developer of MasterMOZ a patent pending social web directory, goes into a deep exploration of Ethereal now called Wireshark.

Standards - June Meeting

Paul Yurt founder of MasterMOZ.com generated a lively discussion about standards from the perspective of the PHP community. No one was ignored and this was not as dry as it sounds.

This 6/26 meeting explored standards from the perspective of what people expect when they talk about developing, coding and techniques to standards.
