PRESENTATION: It's on Fire! An Intro to the CodeIgniter Ecosystem

NOTE - we are back to our regular schedule of meeting on the first Thursday of the month.

Presentation by Nic Rosental, Epic Labs

You've probably heard about the MVC framework CodeIgniter, but did you know that over the years there has been a very active ecosystem built around it? We will explore the different offerings of the ecosystem, their history, features, licensing and possible uses. It wouldn't be a tech talk without some demos, so Nic will be doing a bunch of those as well.

The platforms we will be covering:

• CodeIgniter
• Sparks (package manager)
• Bonfire (framework bootstrap)
• FuelPHP (yet another framework)
• PyroCMS (free/commercial CMS)
• ExpressionEngine (commercial CMS)

Mini-talk before our main speaker: Useful tricks and demos using the CodeIgniter database libraries by Logan Gray, IntenseTech

When: Thursday, February 2, 2012 -- 7pm-9pm
Food and Giveaway Sponsored by: Thompson Technologies. Thompson is also providing a very special hardware device giveaway that you don't want to miss!

We'll also give away free and discounted tickets for Daycamp4Developers #4: Business 101 from Cal Evans.
