February’s Mid-month event is almost upon us (14/02/19 Thursday) at the usual location of Arleston Inn. Usual discussion and project focus at this meeting. No doubt we shall be talking about all the interesting “cool” stuff from FOSDEM, PHP Shropshire and current status of personal and club projects. see you there !!
Thanks again to Lee for bringing this meetup to our attention. Held in EntaNet’s new location in Central Pk, Telford it was well attended with some 24 attendees. The main subject for the evening was how to facilitate “Agile” and “Flexible” development via an event driven architecture using Kafka &PHP . Kafka provides a publish & subscribe messaging platform allowing for applications to be broken down into core functionality communicating cross the Kafka message bus rather than a complex monolithic whole.
This is the first PHP Shropshire meeting and they are continuing to meet moving forward hopefully first Tuesday of a month
Thanks again to Lee, stepping up again to give us a talk on Linux command line and in depth Networking howto. It was very interesting to see how the technology works not just as a poorly described magic trick that many are left with. Proper knowledge once mastered gives much more clarity on how systems work and what and where to look when they fail. Thanks Lee, hope to see more soon…
Thanks to all those who made it to the late but rather good Christmas Dinner held at the Taj Mahal Wellington. Excellent food as the empty plates attest and great conversation as you can see still carrying on in the back ;-). It went down so well that similar events will probably be held more often .. Yum Yum!
Thanks to those who came with us yesterday to Birmingham LUG’s January Meeting. Glen gave a talk on introductory Arduino programming showing how the IDE can be used to drive not only the classic Arduino family but also many 32 bit development boards, embedded devices ( check the diminutive but powerful Christmas tree in the picture!!) as well as the ecosystems extensive support of 3rd party sensors and other devices. A very friendly atmosphere, post meeting talk continues for hours on Subjects as diverse as Ubuntu, Printers and Electric cars all very entertaining indeed!
Meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month in the back of The Bull, a traditional pub supporting a wide range of beers and good food which is handy if you are coming in from out of town or straight from work. If you are in the Birmingham Area and wish to visit Birmingham LUG check out the details here.
