Re: Discuss

Tyler Fayard — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 13:19:28 -0000

I'm looking to discuss some oportunities with a PHP developer in Kansas City or Metro Area that would be interested in working with me to develop an online Dashboard I would like to develop for investing. Please contact me at tylerfayard@yahoo.com if you are interested. I want to work with someone local, and while I have the funds, I would like to cut out the corporations for obvious reasons.
Thanks!

Re: KCPUG needs suggestions for a new Saturday afternoon home

Bill Burns — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 00:25:31 -0000

Not a developer here. Just a FB friend of/occasional fellow cyclist w/ Noah D, but figured I'd chime in with a suggestion for a possible location for kc pug to meet on Saturdays. The Church of the Resurrection West (over near the Honeywell facility just south of K10 & K7 hwys seems like it might be a possibility.

I don't attend COR West, but they are typically very tech-savvy folks, and the facility likely contains some sort of meeting rooms. I can't imagine any COR not having onsite WiFi, either. Like I said, I don't attend either COR location for services, but you could probably cold-call 'em and see if they'd be open to your group meeting there. I'm sure they have plenty of activities going on all the time, but perhaps they'd have a room for you. You never know.

Ask and ye shall receive...?

Bill Burns

Re: May 2011 :: From Hash to Encryption, Solr

Dan H. — Sun, 13 Jan 2013 07:50:13 -0000

Thanks for the question. Looks like I had accidentally unhooked my old slides and demos from the new site.

Anyway, the Apache SOLR Slides link in the post above now works again. There are some concise (and maybe slightly outdated) examples in there. http://www.kcpug.org/doghouse/...

I used the PECL php extension: http://pecl.php.net/package/so... but there is at least one 100% PHP implementation out there.

Some tutorials for setting up Apache Solr and getting started with it, are available on their website at http://lucene.apache.org/solr/...

Thanks again!

Dan

Hi all!

Think Big Partners has an exciting event coming up and I’m hoping you can share it with your members/email list as well as any contacts that are developers that might be interested in learning how to develop on Windows 8 & Azure.

This is an amazing, free opportunity to be one of the first apps on the Windows 8 App Store when it becomes generally available to the public on Oct. 26 this year. Good for Kansas City and regional developers to be trained by the Microsoft developers who helped build the products. We would appreciate you passing along the below link as well!

Learn more here: http://thinkbigkansascity.blog...

Let me know if you have any questions at eleeper@thinkbigpartners.com

Thanks!

Michael - No worries. It looks like you found our "Members" page - mainly a placeholder for where I hope to do some member highlights, etc as we evolve.

You can always find information about our next meeting on our homepage at http://kcpug.org or our on our meetup page at http://meetup.com/kcphpug.

I'm assuming you came here from the block at the top of the homepage, so I've added an extra statement to point out our meetup block.

Thanks for the feedback!

Dan

Re: Ideas for KcPug.org?

Dan Holmes — Sun, 27 May 2012 21:48:17 -0000

Looking at he API, some things to come to mind:

"Member Spotlight" - a random pick of one of the members, or past attendees
"RSVP Counts" - Show a sample or Total of RSVP's for the next event
"Next Event" - Show the next scheduled event.
"Suggest a Topic" - Provide some integration with the suggestions

Just thinking out loud.

- Setting up your environment

- Hosting and sharing your code

I will take a pragmatic approach to showing you the "how" of being productive with git for everyday use.

Aww....just learned that disqus doesn't update html found in the comment. That's too bad. Also, not sure I can post as my WP account.

<div>Re: Please Read - Location Change this week</div><div>CCCKC would probably be glad to have us, if they don't have a schedule conflict. Being near the Brookside area, it's not really near any highway, though. They definitely have the "quiet, not dead", "hangout" and "projector" criteria met. As for refreshments? We'd likely have to include nosh.inc.php and libations.inc.php upon our arrival.</div>

<div>Re: December Meeting</div><div>We had a relatively small group show up. We had a Q and A on ways for a neophyte (sorry, "n00b") to get into learning PHP -- we talked about frameworks, CMSes, model-view-controller, PEAR's database abstraction offerings, security, and books. Prior to the official start of the meeting, we briefly discussed differences between Moodle 1.9 and and the recently released Moodle 2.0.</div>
