A Tale of Two User Groups

This post is probably only relevant if you’re interested in PHP and UK-based. In the next few weeks I’ll be at some user groups that I don’t manage to visit often. On Thursday, 3rd March, I’ll be at PHP East Midlands to talk about Design Patterns. On Tuesday, 12th April, I’ll be at PHP West Midlands, also speaking but this time about OAuth. I may make it to one or other of PHPNW and LeedsPHP user groups in that time as well … and all of those are within 2 hours’ driving of my home! PHP is alive and well where I live, my great respect and thanks goes to all the community leaders who make these groups happen – thank you all :)

Speaking at PHPWM: April 6th

Next week I will be making the trip to my original home town of Birmingham to speak at the PHP West Midlands User Group, on 6th April. They are an active user group and although I haven’t managed to organise myself to attend their meetings before, I do keep meeting their members at other technical events so I know they are a good crowd and I’m looking forward to this! My talk will be “SVN in a Distributed World” – looking at the features of SVN, of the distributed source control solutions, and thinking about whether SVN is now an outdated technology or whether it is still a good choice for source control.

Hope to see you there!
