PHP Women



PHPWomen is a user group specifically targeted toward the women in the PHP world. We do not wish to exclude men - rather to encourage women. They are not mutually exclusive after all.

Mission

Our aim is to provide a network of support and mentorship to women, help women become more involved with PHP, increase our numbers at conferences as speakers and attendees, and provide a “female friendly” atmosphere.

History

Starting out on October 8, 2006 as a call for the women of PHP to “stand up and be counted” by Ligaya Turmelle and Elizabeth Naramore, we have since formed an active community that will hopefully continue to grow and flourish for many years to come.

Why a Woman’s Site

The women in the PHP World tend to be few and scattered all over the world, rarely seeing other women at the various conferences, unconferences, user group meetings and social get togethers. By providing this site we hope that the women will not feel so alone and isolated. The men in the PHP World are a very welcoming and acceptable bunch, but sometimes it is nice to talk to another woman either for coding help or for support in the specific issues of being a woman in a male dominated field.

Re: Good editor

I was using Komodo Edit from Activestate, which was quite ok if not perfect. As im used to using Netbeans for Java I am using that now for php. Its quite good so far. I was thinking of trying eclipse but im not sure of the difference between netbeans and eclipse, which i have not used. Does anyone have an opinion about eclipse vs netbeans ?

Stop Working for the Man

Hi! Philip and Ryan here from the LoveMachine. http://www.lovemachineinc.com We're the founder and one of the creators of Second Life, and we've started a new company.

We're developing several very interesting pieces of software and we might be able to use your help. We're also doing things differently in terms of how we work together:

We don't do interviews, and we don't believe that paying people a monthly salary in exchange for telling them what to do makes sense anymore. It may never have. I know, I know, that's just crazy talk.

I spoke at tek

I'm known as a speaker now, having done a few events in the last year, but I spoke at [http://tek.phparch.com] last week and got the best feedback I have ever got in my life. They weren't easy talks and I am very proud of myself, the way I prepared, and the way I delivered those sessions.

The PHPWomen were very much in evidence at the event with Liz (auroraeosrose), Lig and Kristina speaking, and Beth organising. Well done to all of us for being such a positive presence in the community!
