Design Pattern Examples In PHP

[David Engel]

Where: Tipping Canoe (101-141 Bannatyne Ave. Winnipeg MB)

When: Monday, November 28th 6:00PM (pizza around 5:30)

What: Design patterns in software are nothing new but a lot of times
the decision needs to be made when to use them and when not to use
them. Joel: "This talk will cover a few real world examples of times
I've used design patterns in my work to make the code more flexible
and to work around typical gotchas that occur when you don't use the
patterns when you should. I will also look at times where they've
been used where not appropriate and the troubles they've caused."

Who: Joel Klaverkamp graduated from the Computer Analyst / Programmer
course at RRCC in 2001 and proceeded to work for the City of Winnipeg,
Concordia Hospital, the WRHA and Manitoba eHealth before quitting
government work altogether to join the team at Tipping Canoe in 2008.
After a year of working there he was made Head of Development for
Quidco and a year after that relocated to London, UK to hire and train
a team of developers to bring the Quidco development in house. After
setting up the team and installing the Agile process, Joel moved back
to Winnipeg and now works as a freelance software developer / IT
consultant. There are many technologies Joel is familiar with, but he
always enjoy learning more. Joel also enjoys making music and
spending time with his family.

How: We'll start the meetup with Pizza and networking at around
5:30. Joel will present at 6:00 and we will try to wrap up by around
7:00. Feel free to stick around and chat after the presentation as
well (we may head to the King's Head after)
