My friend Aditya Mooley has written an excellent review of recently held CakePHP Workshop. He says…

Most of the companies working on PHP in Nagpur are still sticking to the old fashioned PHP programming …

I would say this is somewhat a global problem. I am not saying that a framework is the only answer to this issue but people need to follow the new ways of programming. They need to learn new programming patterns and keep up with the latest trends in programming world.

We, at SANIsoft, always thrive to learn new programming techniques and the bleeding edge technologies. Gone are the days when we used to do that old fashioned programming.

I am planning to conduct more workshops on CakePHP in the upcoming 2010 meetups.

For full read please see – CakePHP workshop at Nagpur PHP Meetup

We started PHP Meetup at Nagpur back in July 2009. We are conducting the meetups regularly since then and upcoming December’s meetup will be the 6th edition.

We have had talks and presentations on different topics like Web Security, Introduction to PHP Frameworks, live demonstration of SQL injection and content management systems to name a few. The talks were mostly targeted at beginners of PHP.

I will be delivering a workshop on CakePHP Framework in December’s meetup which is scheduled on 5 Dec, 2009. This workshop will be the first of its kind in Nagpur where a real world application will be built using CakePHP. This will be a very good opportunity for all those PHP programmers who want to learn CakePHP and see a real world application being built right in the front of their eyes.

I expect all attendees to have some basic PHP and web development knowledge. Though I won’t discourage the absolute beginners. They are also free to attend. There will be more workshops on CakePHP at later meetups but this first workshop will be targeted at cakephp newbies.

To attend the meetup please mark your RSVP on the event page.

Meetup date – Saturday, 5th December 2009.
Time – 4 pm to 6 pm
Location – Jog House, F-40, Tatya Tope Nagar, Behind Tatya Tope Hall, Nagpur.

For the first time in Nagpur, a PHP meetup is being organized on Saturday, 11th July 2009. The entry is free and anyone can come and join the group. All PHP enthusiasts in Nagpur are invited and encouraged to attend the meetup and share their experience working in PHP in particular and web development in general.

You need not be a PHP guru to attend the meetup. In fact any person who is interested in learning PHP can also attend and take the tips directly from PHP gurus. What’s better than to learn form industry people?

Those who are interested in attending the meetup can mark their RSVP on meetup page on facebook (you will need to sign in) or send an email to abbas at sanisoft dot com
