Since Python is part of the LAMP stack, we've created a Python SIG at New York PHP. http://nyphp.org/content/mailinglist/mlist.php While not a full user group, it's a start, and can serve as a common discussion place for Python developers. Those who are interested are encouraged to join and discuss technical and community topics. Also, anyone is welcome to contact me to get involved in organizing the SIG and events. New York PHP will help however we can to support Python programmers. NYPHP July Meeting ------------------ When: July 27th, 2004 at 6:30pm *sharp* Where: (new location) IBM, 590 Madison Avenue, Room 306 (3rd Floor) Post-Meeting: Outback Steakhouse, 919 3rd Avenue at 56th Street IMPORTANT: All attendees MUST RSVP by 3:00pm on July 26th. IBM Security will not let you in the building if your name isn't listed. RSVP online at http://nyphp.org/rsvp.php Details: http://nyphp.org This July, join New York PHP's own David Mintz at our new IBM location for an exciting follow-up to May's HTML_QuickForm by David Sklar. David M. will expand on May's meeting and take us through using HTML_QuickForm with the Smarty template engine. Using HTML_QuickForm with Smarty HTML_QuickForm is a PEAR package providing powerful and elegant functionality for building and validating HTML forms. Its default form renderer, however, is only adequate for the simplest of applications and customizing its output, though possible, is awkward and tends to undermine the goal of separating logic from presentation. Smarty is a popular template engine noted for its flexibility and efficiency, and HTML_QuickForm supports integration with this and other template engines. In this presentation we quickly review the use of both tools, and then examine some techniques for getting them to play nicely together. David Mintz is a self-proclaimed wannabe geek who works as a Spanish-English staff interpreter for the federal court in downtown Manhattan. Join David and the New York PHP crew and see how the powerful HTML_QuickForm and elegant Smarty engine can be combined for engineering the perfect frontend. IBM, our latest sponsor, has provided a great room with seating for plenty. Come prepared with a business card to enter drawings for book and other prizes.
