PHPNW March 2010 March 2, 2010

This month we have the talk that was meant to be on in January by Rob Mortimer on POG (PHP Object Generator). Rob coded PHP full time for a year in the 90's when PHP 3 was cool and scripts started at the top and ended at the bottom. Since then he has made a move to a sys-admin roll where he continued to use PHP to deliver data capture and other applications for the business using PHP. His skills changed little for 8 years as PHP was no longer core to his job, but eventually the time came when he needed to up skill and that was when he found POG.

POG is the PHP Object Generator. It is not a framework but a web application that delivers ready baked objects for you to customise and use. It is a light and easy way to dip your toe into OOP and get real
results.

PHPNW (PHP North West) is a group focussing on the PHP web development language in the North-of-England.
