New Rockville PHP Group
Posted: February 6th, 2012, 7:57am MST by Brandon Savage
There are lots of active, vibrant developer groups in the DC area: DC PHP, Baltimore PHP, and the Frederick Web Tech group. The DC PHP Beverage Subgroup meets monthly in Northern Virginia.

Excited About PHP Again
Posted: February 2nd, 2012, 8:23pm MST by Brandon Savage
Ten months ago when I started at Mozilla, I began transitioning away from PHP and into Python and Django. This was inevitable: the Mozilla Webdev team favors Python over PHP in almost every webapp (Socorro is the critical exception).

In the past few days, the alarm has been sounded in the technology community for us to help defeat the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). This legislation, while well-intentioned, is crafted in such a way that it would give private companies the power to shut down other private companies, and require the government and Internet [...] -
Diversifying This Blog
Posted: August 12th, 2011, 2:51pm MDT by Brandon Savage
When I began writing this blog back in August of 2008, I stated that I wanted to write about the things that I cared about. At the time that list included a slice of technology, largely focused on the LAMP stack. As I’ve changed over the years, I’ve also increased the things that I care [...]
