Looking for an introductory PHP course
Can anyone recommend an introduction to PHP course (online or in Sydney) for someone (me) who understands HTML and CSS, understands the basic concepts of relational databases (keys, normalization) and is currently bulding his first Drupal site (with CCK, Views, Token, Pathauto and many more contrib modules).
I'm not a programmer but I'd like to expand my skillset and since I'm now locked into Drupal as a platform I figure I may as well learn a bit of PHP.
Or if you think I'd be better off learning from a a book or a W3schools kind of thingy, please say so.

Sydney July Meetup - Online Video
3rd thursday of the month again, we'll be having our regular meetup on Thursday, July 16th. This month we will be back at our regular venue, the ABC Centre. (Next month is August 20th)
The last monthly meetup was great. We changed the venue and had a more social gathering at a nearby pub. I was a bit worried, but it turned out really well. I think everyone had a good time and there were a lot of new people. I will definitely try organizing some more social meetups if everyone is still keen. Thanks again to the people who showed up, especially the new faces.
This month we'll be at the ABC Centre again and we'll be focusing.
We'll also be running the support sessions again, since that seems to be a popular segment so bring your laptop!

When: Thursday, July 16th
Time: 6:30pm - 9:30pm (Show up around 6:30pm for firm 7pm start!!)

Sydney June Meetup - Socialized!
Sydney June Meetup - Socialized!
Keeping with our schedule of the 3rd thursday of each month, we'll be having our regular meetup on this Thursday, June 18th. This meetup will have a change of venue and will be an experiment for more social events for the community. (Next month is July 16th)
The last monthly meetup went really well as usual. We experimented with a barcamp style session which got good feedback. The turn out was a bit smaller than usual (probably do to a late announcement on my part) but we had another really great support session. Thanks again to the people who stepped up barcamp style.
This month we'll be at the Royal Exhibition Hotel and we'll be aiming for a social pub experience. I'm still working to see if we can get a projector setup. If so, look for us upstairs otherwise we'll position ourselves in the back area where we can pool some tables together. Look for laptops, drupal schwag, and lots of talking! We'll also be running the support sessions again, since that seems to be a popular segment so bring your laptop!

SMX Sydney Meetup
Hey Everyone,
I'm heading down to Sydney on the 2nd to 3rd of April for the SMX Sydney event on those days and I was wondering if any other Drupallers were attending. If so, would anyone be interested in catching up for dinner / drinks on Thursday (2nd) night?
I'll also be at the official SMX bbq on the Friday night, which would also be a good place to catch up.

Drupal Training
Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in attending a 6 week training course in Sydney. At the moment I am just putting the feelers out to see if there is any interest. It would be conducted over about six Saturdays and cost approximately $200 per day to cover the cost of the facilities and the trainer. Students would learn how to develop a custom site in Drupal from scratch. It is definitely aimed at those who are starting out in Drupal.
Expressions of interest can email me at adam@sharknetmedia.com.au
Thanks guys,
All the best.
