PHPNE: Couchbase & Pusher

After a brief hiatus, we are back with the September edition of PHPNE! With Pizzas provided by Laura Sharpe of Sharpe Recruitment and venue provided by Campus North.

The event will take place at the Campus North, Sunco House, 5 Carliol Square, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE1 6UF (location map at bottom of Ignite site).

The event is free and open to all, but please sign up online so that we have an idea of numbers for the venue, and how much Laura needs to cough up for the pizzas. Feedback, suggestions and ideas for future topics are welcome on our Google Group.

Matthew Revell is Director of Developer Advocacy for Couchbase and is also the organiser of DevRelCon, a conference about developer relations. Like everyone else, he wrote a custom CMS in PHP many years ago, which suffered from many questionable design decisions.
