About us
The longest-running (since 1999) and largest PHP group in Kansas City! Come talk shop with other developers working with PHP and many other languages and technologies.
Group members range from beginner developers, hobbyists, seasoned professionals and everyone in between.
We offer one meeting each month: Open and casual discussion on the third Saturday at Black Dog Coffeehouse in Lenexa, KS. See the Upcoming Meetups section for details.
Come join our Slack!
We welcome any and all attendees with no obligation to engage. If you're more comfortable sitting back and listening more than talking, that's great! Come hang out.
Our regular members are here to talk shop or answer your questions on things like Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, Drupal, Magento, application architecture, system design, frontend JavaScript, and server administration.

MergePHP: Advanced PHPUnit Shenanigans
·OnlineOnlineHopefully by now, you know that testing is important, and you've integrated PHPUnit into your workflow. (If not, go watch one of those talks.) So now what??
In this "testing 202" course, we'll explore some features of PHPUnit you may not be using (but should), some techniques you may not have thought of, and how to extend PHPUnit yourself for your own nefarious testing purposes. And we'll answer the question, "so what are traits actually good for"?
