First Topic: PHP 5

Rick is a System Administrator/Web Developer for MSU Flint Area Medical Education where he's been using PHP for almost 4 years. He will be discussing the new object oriented features in PHP5 and how best to use them. He dreams of shooting his MS Exchange server with a large rifle, and his blog can be found at http://www.mitechie.com.

Second Topic: AJAX, JavaScript, and ???. OH MY!!

There's been an awful lot of hype lately about Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript And XML). A great example of the power of Ajax can be seen on the Google Maps and Google gmail sites.

Our presenter for this session is our old friend Scott Collins. Scott has a very impressive background, doing time at Ashton Tate, Apple Computer, Mozilla, Trolltech and now he's doing Ajax development for Slashdot.

If you've ever seen Scott talk before, you know that he's very knowledgeable and a great speaker.

SWAG

Several of us have been doing some traveling, and we've accumulated a decent amount of SWAG (Stolen Without A Gun) to hand out. We've got Books, Shirts, stickers, bottle openers and all kinds of doodads to hand out.

If you have topics for future meetings you would like us to cover please email the board, thanks.
