I’m using O’Reilly “Web Database Application with PHP and MySQL”, 2nd
Edition, ISBN: 0596000413, but lets see which (if any) text the group
prefers when we meet.
Meetings are at KPI Consulting (2900 Jazz St, Round Rock) each Saturday at noon.
First meeting is 9/24/06. Duration is based on pace and scope
established by the group. Some have suggested adding Ruby on Rails, and if we do this will extend the length.
Legal stuff:
You don’t have to: be affiliated with CTLUG, pay fees, attend all
meetings, already be an expert. And noobs are encouraged to attend (I
don’t want to be the only one).”
