  Database design 

  For our November meeting, Mac Newbold will present on Database design. He’ll be discussing Entity-Relationship Diagrams/modeling, the various Normal Forms for normalizing your database, and how to translate those to a relational database implementation. Then he’ll talk about performance and optimization, keys/indices, and a bit about data warehousing. He’ll be going over some real examples supplied by whoever is there tonight, so come with some ideas!

  Jon Jensen a Mozy Deathmatch winner with PHP 

  We are excited to announce that our own Jon Jensen was one of the eight tying winners of the Mozy Programming Deathmatch. Since there was no clear winner after the final challenge, the $10,000 was split 8 ways. What makes it especially newsworthy however is that Jon did all of the tests in PHP, much to the surprise of the organizers and competitors! Read more about this on Jon’s blog and the Salt Lake Tribune.
