Join us Thursday night for the inaugural Memphis PHP meetup! We'll be talking about the what and why of Memphis PHP and the direction we'll be taking. I'm pleased to announce two presentations for Thursday night, one by Jeremy Kendall and one by Cory Wiles.

After the meeting we'll retire to some local establishment to continue our discussions over dinner and drinks. Please weigh-in on our mailing list with a suggestion on where we should go.

Please see the "We have a venue!" discussion on our mailing list for important details regarding our meeting place: parking, how to find the suite, etc.

Jeremy Kendall

It can be really challenging for the new guy to get from zero to a Zend Framework project without wanting to chunk his computer out the window. I know it was that way for me. In the interest of saving her sanity and helping the new gal get going, I’ve tried to pull all the necessary steps together in one place.

CMS without the CMS
Cory Wiles

Cory has developed an application that allows content managers to edit a single XML file to add and update content on a website, including layout, templates, keywords, etc. Find out how he leveraged the Zend Framework to make this happen.
