Web Technology and Design SIG

June 2009 Meeting - Tuesday, June 23

There are a couple of options to adding an event calendar to your website. For websites that use WordPress, there are a couple of add-ons available.

Easy PHP Calendar is another PHP based calendar that is easily integrated into your website and is simple to customize. It supports a flat-file database format as well as mySQL so you can use this application even if your webhost package does not include mySQL.

Mark your calendar. I look forward to seeing you there!

September Meeting - Tuesday, September 23 (postponed until October 28th due to Ike)

As your web development skills advance, the benefit of using server side scripting becomes more attractive. However, do you want to run the risk of causing havoc on your live site while you experiment?

This is where setting up a testing server is important. It is not as hard as you think to install Apache, MySQL and PHP. Having the ability for contained testing makes it worth the effort. Join us as we go through a case study on setting up a testing server, installing WordPress and then launching the site live.
