    Meeting tonight has been postponed due to political reasons… We are planning on next week but not at C7 since Python user group is there… Mac will keep us posted, I am sure.

    Great Meeting, Winner of Book Giveaway 

    Thanks to John Anderson and Dan Fellars for a great meeting last night, and to everyone who attended. It was great to get to know Lithium better.

    Last night we had a special surprise, as well. Justin Carmony was in contact with Chris Hartjes, author of “The Grumpy Programmer’s Guide To Building Testable PHP Applications”, who donated a free copy of the book to a lucky UPHPU member. I’m pleased to announce that shuffle() selected Clint Berry! You can learn more about Chris and the book at http://www.grumpy-testing.com/ or http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard or follow Chris on Twitter at @grmpyprogrammer. Thanks again, Chris!

    Best Accounting Practices for Web Development – Joanna Carmony 

    I’m pleased to announce this month’s meeting:

    Thursday, January 19th, at 7pm at C7 Bluffdale Datacenter

    Joanna Carmony: Best Accounting Practices for the Web Development Industry

    Come and learn from an accountant with years of experience what you should be doing better with your books. There should be something for everyone, whether you own a web development business, own a business that does some web development, are self-employed, or just do some freelance on the side.

    As time allows, we’ll have a round-table discussion to take advantage of the collective expertise in the group on the subject, and discuss any questions you may have about the business side of web development.

    As usual, we’ll be having our after-party at the Draper Applebees, starting around 9pm. Feel free to join us!

    Blazing Data with Redis 

    For our December meeting, Justin Carmony will present on “Blazing Data with Redis.” There are several solutions about in the “NoSQL” realm, and I’ll be honest, Redis is one of my favorites. Redis is an open source, advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets.

    What is great about Redis is just how fast it is. In order to achieve its outstanding performance, Redis works with an in-memory dataset. Depending on your use case, you can persist it either by dumping the dataset to disk every once in a while, or by appending each command to a log.

    So come down and learn the basics of Redis, whether using it as an advanced cache alternative to Memcached, a queueing system, a data store, or anything where you would benefit from high performance reads and writes.

    Designing with Scalability Platforms in Mind 

    For our November meeting, Joseph Brower will be visiting from Idaho to present about scalability platforms. As usual, we’ll follow it with our Applebee’s aftermeeting. We look forward to seeing you there!

    As the hype around the “cloud” continues to grow, the importance of understanding how it works becomes more and more relevant. This presentation will provide an overview of how an application should be designed to ensure that it can scale well. The presentation will start with an explanation of how some cloud services work followed by things to consider when designing your application to up scale. We’ll finish the presentation (time pending) with a demonstration of a cloud driven work flow and end with a Q/A period.

    The presentation will be given with the assumption that the people listening are familiar with PHP development, along with version control systems.
