This July, don't sweat Ajax. We're pleased to have Ajax/UI extraordinaire and Central Florida PHP Founding Member, Michael Girouard, cover the technical details of the Ajax/PHP relationship, and uncover the hype.

Ajax is a powerful tool that all web developers (front-end or back-end) should be well versed in. Ajax applications are rich, responsive, and can dramatically enhance the user experience. This talk will survey Ajax as a technology for rich web applications and also will provide several practical examples -- all from a PHP developer's perspective.

Mike Girouard is a front-end web developer living in New York City. As the Sr. Developer at the creative agency Magnani Caruso Dutton, Mike takes pride in his ability to introduce web-standards and beautiful code to industry giants such as Discover and AT&T. In his off-time, he goes right back to his editor and codes toward his latest open-source baby, Panda PHP Components. You can read more about him and his other projects on his blog, lovemikeg.com/blog.

NOTE: This meeting is NOT at IBM. RSVP is not required.
