In September, Jason Ragsdale will be talking Security: From simple programming steps and best practices to some of the more extreme measures you can take to protect your server. Come join us, and sleep well at night.

The September Meeting will be held in our favorite location on September 9, 2008 from 7pm to 9pm:

The Riverwalk Conference Room in the Offices at Yahoo!

1680 Glenville Drive
Richardson Texas
(Just east of Central, not far from NerdBooks.)
Please use the North Entrance.

We have made special arrangements with Adobe to hold a very special presentation event for our October 14th meeting!

Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) are everywhere. With Web businesses like Google and Yahoo! and brick and mortar companies like Harley Davidson and Sherwin Williams embracing RIAs for their online presence, the media buzz is giving way to the reality of a better Internet.

Adobe has recently contributed AMF support to the Zend Framework, allowing PHP developers to easily build Rich Internet Applications using Flex and Adobe AIR that interact with a PHP backend.

Danny Dura , a technical evangelist with Adobe, will give an introduction to Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR, and will walk through how to create a Flex application powered by PHP and the Zend Framework. Working with Zend Studio for Eclipse, and Flex Builder (an Eclipse plugin), Danny will demonstrate how to build, debug and deploy applications built with Adobe Flex, and how to have these same applications run on the desktop using the Adobe AIR runtime.

With this knowledge, developers will be able to easily build rich Internet applications that combine data from PHP and rich media like audio and video into a compelling application.

We expect attendance to be high, possibly standing room early, so come early!

This is official website of the Dallas PHP/MySQL User Group (DallasPHP). DallasPHP is a growing user group in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area that supports the use of PHP, MySQL, and other related technologies. Our objectives:

• to provide an open community for discussion, knowledge and skill sharing
• to encourage the use of PHP both in personal and corporate environments
• to create a crossroads for those who need and those who can provide professional PHP development skills within Texas

PHP users of all experience levels are invited to our monthly presentations (where specific programming topics are discussed on the second Tuesday of each month) and to a general Q&A session which happens on the Saturday that follows the Tuesday night meeting. Meeting details can be found here.

DallasPHP currently maintains an Announcement List at Meetup.com. This list will be soon replaced by an Official DallasPHP Announcement List, maintained locally. Look for a form on this page as soon as we get the kinks worked out.
