.Great PHP Symfony Meetup at HQ Last Night
Big thanks to Yahoo!’s Dustin Whittle, Senior Tech Yahoo!/Open Evangelist, for a great presentation on developing Web Services (i.e. APIs) using the PHP Symfony Framework. Yahoo! wrote/rewrote Answers, Delicious, Bookmarks and much more in Symfony and we’ve been using it for a number of recent projects and a number in the pipeline. It’s significantly reduced development time on complicated projects and provides with a very robust unified platform for future products.
Congrats to Paul Thrasher, our Lead Engineer who has been organizing the events. Attendance was already double the first meet-up and a number of companies were represented. If you want to learn more about Symfony or share how you are using it, join the Bay Area Symfony developer’s group and make it to an upcoming meet-up.
Very cool! Didn’t know you guys were using it.
Do you guys know of any LA area meetups for Symfony! We’ve been using it for awhile and would love to meet others, but haven’t seen any gatherings down here yet…
You can see all the symfony groups worldwide here:

It looks like there’s someone else around Santa Monica that might be interested.
The great thing about meetups is that if there isn’t one you want, you can always start a new one! I’m sure there’s enough people around L.A. that would be interested.
Good luck!
