Nashville PHP User Group
I was lucky enough to be in town for the inaugural Nashville PHP User Group as resurrected by Ben Ramsey last week. The presentation by Josh Holmes was interesting though over-long.
My favorite part of these things (as always) is meeting the other attendees. We retired to a nearby bar after the meeting, where I cliqued up with Brian Dailey, Ryan Weaver, Jeremy Kendall, and others. Here are some of the books, blogs, and podcasts that came up in our discussion:
- The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, Fred Brooks
- Managing in the Next Society, Peter Drucker
- The Essential Drucker, Peter Drucker
- Fooled By Randomness, Nassim Taleb
- The Black Swan, Nassim Taleb
- Economics in One Lesson, Henry Hazlitt
- Surviving In Argentina
- Marginal Revolution
- Cafe Hayek
- EconTalk
If anyone there remembers other stuff we talked about, leave a comment and I’ll put it in the main entry.
