For the March Meeting, DallasPHP Member Tim Stiles will demonstrate how to piece together Zend Framework elements to provide a flexible page without jumping into Zend's entire mindset of Model-View-Controller! (Don't get me wrong: MVC is A Good Thing™, but there are times when it's not needed, and understanding how to use the pieces as standalone units will help you use them more efficiently in any circumstances.) Join us for lots of code examples and good discussion. We'll also talk about PHP's role in the upcoming Dallas TechFest and Dallas BarCamp5!
