We Meet every 3rd Tuesday

This Month's Topics:

• Doctrine MongoDB ODM project [Kris Wallsmith]
• "phorms" ( http://github.com/jordanlev/phorms ), a nice little form helper library I've found to be very useful when going into an existing codebase that doesn't already use a framework. [ Jordan Lev ]

We Meet every 3rd Tuesday

• We’ll start with a tech book swap. Most of us have a few tech manuals lying about that we never use, but that others would find useful. Many of us need a new tech book/s but have not yet picked one up, for one reason or another. Here’s your chance to find unwanted books a good home, or to find a useful manual or three for yourself. Here’s what happens: Those with unwanted books will bring them to the group and leave them in a common area. Then it’s just a matter of everyone helping themselves. You don’t have to bring any manuals to leave with manuals, and vice versa. Books left over at the end will be taken to Powell’s Technical Books for their freebie bin, or possibly to Free Geek.
