June User Group:: An introduction to jQuery

PACKT jQuery book jQuery is a concise open source JavaScript Library used for Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, event handling, Ajax requests, and animations. Whether you're new to JavaScript entirely or experienced with JavaScript but looking to shorten and simplify your code, jQuery is a framework you need to be familiar with. A real-time demo and hands-on walk-through will be done, include the writing of an animated Accordion widget and Ajax to-do list from scratch.

Please join John Resig, the creator and lead developer of the jQuery JavaScript library ,and BostonPHP as John introduces us to his library (examples written PHP) including discussion of several different PHP frameworks that use jQuery (Wordpress, Drupal, CakePHP).

March User Group::An in depth view of Drupal

March User Group:: An in depth view of Drupal

The Drupal CMS (PHP, GPL) allows you to assemble powerful web sites instead of writing them from scratch. It supports custom inter-related data types, configurable views and summaries of all content, user-generated content, search, user accounts, roles, media handling, and much more. Thousands of contributed modules provide all kinds of functionality.Eventually, though, many sites need custom functionality. Join Barry Jaspan, Principal Engineer at Acquia, Inc., for a deep introduction to Drupal development, including:

Drupal hooks
Custom modules
Leveraging existing modules and APIs
What's new in Drupal 6
Becoming a professional Drupal consultant/site developer

The worldwide Drupal conference will be here in Boston, March 3rd-6th2008! Attend this talk then come to DrupalCon to learn even more. See http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/ for full details.

February User Group::Choose your OSS license to match your business model

February User Group::Choosing an OSS license to match your business model/community

With six months now past since the release of version 3 of the GNU General Public License, there are reportedly 1200 great projects that have released code under the new license (http://www.blackducksoftware.com/oss). The addition of GPLv3 into the mix of 60+ other licenses approved as “open source” by the Open Source Initiative (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical) has not made the selection of a license for a project any easier.

Join BostonPHP and:

Karen Copenhaver of Choate Hall & Stewart, and
Ira Heffan of TopCoder

as they talk about version 3 of the GPL and how to go about aligning your selection of an open source license with your business or other project goals.
