We've got another special guest this month. It's my pleasure and honor to announce the world-renowned Cal Evans, lately of Nashville, TN, will be coming to Memphis to present his "Five things I wish they had told me before I started programming in PHP" talk.

Have you been waiting for Memphis PHP to host a PHP 101 talk? Wait no longer. This is it! Of course, with Cal's expertise, perspective, and extensive knowledge of PHP, this is a talk that developers of every level can get something out of.

"Five things I wish they had told me before I started programming in PHP"
Cal Evans

"Five things I wish they had told me before I started programming in PHP is a raucous romp through PHP, covering not only mistakes that programmers make, but skills they need to make sure they master.

This is a 101 level course. If you are new to programming or just new to PHP, you will get something out of this."

Location: EmergeMemphis - Downtown

EmergeMemphis is a business and technology incubator located in historic Downtown Memphis. It's an amazing, comfortable, spacious space in the heart of Downtown, and EmergeMemphis is a great supporter of the local technology community.

The meetup was gr8!!! It was really fun. Cal has a gr8 sense of humor but he delivered some serious thoughtful messages across.

I thoroughly enjoyed Cal's talk about the five things he wish he'd known before starting PHP. Being a new programmer to PHP, it is overwhelming sometimes to get accomodated to the world of PHP while maintaining competency in other computer languages. Cal gave us a very insightful approach regarding things that he thinks would have helped him when starting out in PHP as a result of all he has learned while being a programmer/developer. He was very approachable, friendly and his presentation was very enjoyable. A must for any person who is looking to get started or has recently started in PHP! A BIG THANKS to Cal for taking the time to come and share this with us!

I thought the meetup was great. I'm just now starting to cut my teeth with php and I learned many great resources to help me along the way. Books, websites, and people I can talk with will be very helpful. Cal Evans provided more than enough information for those resoures. Not to mention he's alot of help himself. He is very well spoken and just knowing that I'm not the first person that's had problems with php is motvaional.
