April User Group :: Lessons from my.barackobama.com
Barack Obama's presidential campaign was praised for being one of the
most technically savvy ever. What most people don't realize, though,
was a lot of that technology was powered by PHP and created right here
in Boston at Blue State Digital. Please join BostonPHP, Josh King and
Chuck Hagenbuch as they discuss their experiences building and scaling
some of the
tools which powered my.barackobama.com and the millions of phone calls and billion emails that helped make history on January 20th, 2009.
PLEASE NOTE: Building Security does not allow "walk-ins". Please RSVP now to reserve your spot and admission to this event.
