Many of you may be happy to hear that I have actually gotten to take a tiny break from management, and write my first bit of code in quite a while. Now, unless you would like our next presentation to be about transforming csv files with fgetcsv and vsprintf, I suggest you help me pick a topic.
Any topic will do. Selections will be made based on my ability to produce said presentation in the time alloted (which isn’t much). Naturally, any ties among viable options will be weighted based on community interest, etc.
Just to get you started, here are some ideas from the November meeting. Maybe, I just need a little detail on these to get going.
Thanks Gang! I’ll see you in February!

* Storing/encrypting sensitive information such as user information
These are just the ones I thought top of my head. I’m sure there are more.
But anyways, I agree with the previous poster. Security is an important topic. I would specifically like to know more about input validation.
I also wouldn’t mind learning how to add one of these fancy html editor tools I am typing into right now to a website.
Might I also suggest refraining from scheduling meetings on days that I have to attend weddings. That’s happened the last two meetings, and no, I wasn’t dressed up at the November meeting to impress everyone.
But don’t take my word for it.
Is there anyone else out there that is interested in that kind of stuff? Or are we (as a group) more interested in helpful coding gadgets and tidbits right now?
Doug, svn would be perfect! I don’t have an install at the moment, but I’m sure I could scrounge one up. April sounds good. I haven’t shown off a good framework in a while now. 😉
I hope to see you all tomorrow!
