http://uphpu.org/meeting/2016/august-meeting/ New this month one lucky random attendee will win a 1 year license to any JetBrains product. See below for details. *Object Relational Mapping and it's place in APIs* Object Relational Mapping has proven superior to SQL query based applications. Advantages include building your database from the ORM metadata and the ability to traverse the database using objects. An overview of why ORM is better then specific aspects of ORM such as the Query Builder will give the attendee a realistic understanding of the technology. *Tom Anderson* Tom is Zend Certified PHP and a certified Zend Framework 2 Engineer.

Among his open source contributions Tom has contributed heavily to the Apigility project by Zend. *Swag Alert* We have a new sponsor: JetBrains! At the end of the presentation, one random lucky winner will win a free 1 year individual subscription to any single JetBrains Toolbox product. Choices includes PhpStorm, WebStorm, DataGrip, or others seen at https://www.jetbrains.com/products.html. Thanks JetBrains! *Venue: Vivint* Vivint 3401 Ashton Blvd Lehi, Utah 84043 How to get there: The address is 3401 Ashton Blvd, though some mapping tools put that a little far down the street (if so, try 2719 Ashton Blvd instead). It's the first office building south of the intersection, nearest to the Dickeys BBQ on the corner. Just come in the front door and we'll be on the first floor, to the right. The front door will be locked, but there's a guard on duty right inside that can let folks in, and we're really close to the front door, so we should be able to help people get in pretty easily. If you can't get in, call 801-391-8249 and we'll get you in! *The After Party* We will be going to JCW's for the After Party. Come check it out with us. Thanks, Mark Niebergall UPHPU President _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list UPHPU@uphpu.org http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
