PHP Workshop at ALA

  • Posted by Junior Tidal on April 11, 2014 at 11:14 am

    If anyone is going to ALA in Las Vegas this year, Tim from LibraryThing is facilitating a PHP workshop:

    For fun I’m throwing a day-long, almost-free introduction to PHP session
    alongside the pre-conference day at ALA Annual.

    It’s called “Enough PHP To Be Dangerous,” and will be held Friday, June 27,
    2014 a few blocks from the Convention Center.

    Blog post is here:

    It’s for people who don’t know much about programming. So, it’s NOT FOR
    YOU. You’d be bored! But you might want to tell a colleague. And if you’re
    interested in helping out, it would be great having another person or two
    helping attendees figure out why their script won’t run.

    I’m doing it for fun and because I can. Conferences are ridiculously
    expensive to exhibit at, so why not do a little more with it? For
    simplicity’s sake, I didn’t hook up with LITA or anyone else; I just rented
    a room and contracted for coffee and sandwiches.

    If you’re interested in going, or helping out, read the blog post and email
    me.

    Best,
    Tim
