NYCPHP Meetup

[New York PHP]

---- October Meeting Program ----

New York PHP has organized an exciting new lineup for our general
monthly meetings. Each meeting includes a monthly review of previous
PHundamental Threads, a technique, site or product demo, and a feature
presentation. We will be starting at 6:30pm sharp, so please arrive on
time.

October 28th, 2003 @ 6:30pm (sharp) at Digital Pulp, Inc.

  * 6:30 PHundamental Threads
    Join the NYPHP PHundamentals team for discussion, review and Q&A
    on this month's thread, "Site Structure."

  * 6:45 Product/Technique/Special Feature
    NYPHP developer Andrew Yochum follows last month's presentation
    on templates with the cutting edge solution, PHPTAL.

  * 7:00 Feature Presentation
    "PHP Image Functions"
    PHP is not limited to creating just HTML output. It can also be
    used to create and manipulate image files in a variety of
    different image formats, including gif, png, jpg, wbmp, and xpm.
    For this month's presentation, NYPHP pixel jockey Jeff Knight
    will talk about using the GD library in PHP. Topics will include
    installation and configuration, a discussion of the image
    functions themselves, and related topics like goofy patent laws
    and basic color models and theory.

  * 7:45 Q&A and Recap
    Join us for open Q&A, including dinner and drinks after the
    meeting.

As always this meeting is free and open to the public, with complete
meeting and location details at http://nyphp.org - and please be sure
to RSVP by sending a message to rsvp at nyphp.org.

---- Book Review Reminder; More Free Books Available ----

Get hot book titles, free!  Help the community and authors by writing a
brief review of the books.  And these aren't book reviews like you did
in high school - just a couple of paragraphs and an overall critique
is perfect!  Thanks to NYPHP developer Peter Lehrer, we now have a site
for members to request and pickup books for review.  For a sample
review, more information and to request a book for October, please
see: http://nyphp.org/library

For those with books already, get your review sent into
library at nyphp.org, and sign-up for more great titles.

And, if there's a book not in our list that you'd like to review, tell
us at library at nyphp.org!
