Now that we have some context around Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Norris Smith will walk us through some implementations of it in WebMethods (https://www.softwareag.com/en_corporate/platform/integration-apis/webmethods-integration.html). Integration is the key to applications, departments and companies all talking data often in real time. So, this should be pretty helpful in any role.
As ever, we may well discuss some of the current social/global concerns around the world. :)

We love Web Development and all things PHP. Our meetings are often a little free-formed, but we shoot for this schedule:
6:00pm - Mingling / Meet and Greet
6:15pm - Lightning Talk:
* Last Month in PHP
6:30pm - TBA
If you are interested in speaking or would like to suggest a future topic please suggest one: (http://www.meetup.com/kcphpug/suggestion/)
All Developers and Non-Developers Welcome!
We understand Web Developers often come from all backgrounds, and many work in more languages than PHP. Whether you're curious and just starting out, dabble in PHP on the weekends, write custom PHP on a daily basis, work in a framework like Symfony, Laminas, Laravel, Slim, Laravel, CakePHP or customize CMS products like WordPress, Drupal or Joomla; our goal is that you will find something new, useful and thought provoking.
Park in any visitor space in the parking garage and enter the main building from the west. Follow the signs for PHP User Group and turn right at the security desk. Click here for eventRead more...

Open to anyone in the area who is interested in developing video games. In order to have a little structure, we'll try to do a couple things each week:
Introduce new members. What have you worked on, game related or not? What do you want to work on next?
Discuss this week's conversation starter. Some article, video or game that we can dig into a little.
Members can present any games they're working on, for feedback or just to brag.
Of course, it's all very informal. The main goal is interesting conversation(s) about our passion.
Looking forward to it!

One code base to rule them all? For years we have been promised that this dream was just around the corner. There have been many attempts in the past, but they all left us wanting more and never seemed to be worth the trade offs that came with them. In this meeting we are going to take a look at the Uno Platform and see if they can deliver on the promise of a single code base for Windows, Web-Assembly, iOS, macOS, Android and Linux. We will look at how to get started with the Uno Platform and walk through building out a basic application and discuss the pros and cons of their platform. Join us virtually for a fun evening of nerding out on cool development technologies.

Talk: Kafka Connect - Diving into the Deep End
Abstract: Perhaps you have heard of Kafka Connect and think it would be a great fit in your application's architecture, but you like to know how things work before you propose them to your team? Perhaps you know enough Connect to be dangerous, but you haven't had the time to really understand all the moving pieces? This meetup talk is for you! We'll briefly introduce Connect to the uninitiated, and then jump in to underlying concepts and considerations you should make when running Connect in production! We'll even run a live demo! What could go wrong!?

Please follow CDC Recommendations to protect and respect the health and safety of the GeoDev KC Meetup community.
Drones have proven to be a tremendous resource for GIS applications. Drones can be used to produce high resolution/ high accuracy orthophotography as well as detailed surface models. These drone generated deliverables are successfully used by large organizations everywhere. While the use of these systems and the integration of these products is very successful, there are other use cases where the integration of drone technology has proven difficult. Drones are excellent tools for Inspection and asset management. Drones can reach locations that are difficult otherwise. The challenge however has been managing the information from the drone and properly integrating into the rest of your asset information. In this demonstration, we will show how your field-collected drone data can be integrated directly into your GIS workflow and collected and displayed intuitively using augmented reality so that all of your data is managed in one location. We will show some operational use cases for these workflows as well.

We love Web Development and all things PHP. Our meetings are often a little free-formed, but we shoot for this schedule:
6:00pm - Mingling / Meet and Greet
6:15pm - Lightning Talk:
* Last Month in PHP
6:30pm - TBA
If you are interested in speaking or would like to suggest a future topic please suggest one: (http://www.meetup.com/kcphpug/suggestion/)
All Developers and Non-Developers Welcome!
We understand Web Developers often come from all backgrounds, and many work in more languages than PHP. Whether you're curious and just starting out, dabble in PHP on the weekends, write custom PHP on a daily basis, work in a framework like Symfony, Laminas, Laravel, Slim, Laravel, CakePHP or customize CMS products like WordPress, Drupal or Joomla; our goal is that you will find something new, useful and thought provoking.
Park in any visitor space in the parking garage and enter the main building from the west. Follow the signs for PHP User Group and turn right at the security desk. Click here for eventRead more...
