Eric Poe will share about recent PHP community news. Then John Kary will guide us in a holiday-themed group programming exercise following AdventOfCode.com! No programming experience or laptop required to participate. Promise! Just your brain and problem solving skills.
Advent of Code is an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for any skill set and skill level using any programming language. You don't need a computer science background to participate - just a little programming knowledge and some problem solving skills will get you pretty far. Nor do you need a fancy computer; every problem has a solution that completes in at most 15 seconds on ten-year-old hardware.
Light refreshments will be provided.
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 - Advent of Code (mob programming). Bring a laptop if you'd like to share your solutions in the language of your choice.
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.

Leadership gurus often say that the biggest thing holding people back is themselves, then want to charge you $1999 to attend a weekend seminar with 7,000 of your closest friends to learn how to stop doing that. Don't have $1999? Listen to this FREE session and learn about the tricky phenomenon known as Imposter Syndrome. Diana is a recovering Imposter Syndrome sufferer who shares what Imposter Syndrome is, why it's important to confront Imposter Syndrome, and some practical tips for how to combat it.
Diana Alt is a connector, problem solver, and career strategy coach who uses the skills she's gathered throughout 20+ years in corporate product development roles to help people manage their careers and business. Diana helps people get out of their own way by building confidence, setting boundaries, and casting a vision for an awesome life. She's guided by the principle that work should feel GOOD, not like a long slow march towards oblivion.

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!

Do you ever struggle when or why to use one practice over another? Join us with Nate Adams at the final Agile KC event of 2020 as he shares when an agile mindset is crucial and how the Cynefin (pronounced kuh-NEV-in) framework can help.
We spend a lot of time talking about what constitutes an agile mindset or how to apply agile practices, but we less often talk about when and why they are appropriate. In this discussion, we'll take a deep dive into when agile practices provide a benefit over more traditional, non-agile tools. We'll do this by exploring the Cynefin framework in a way you've never seen it before. Along the way, we'll talk about the scientific language of experiments, agile and less agile practices and how they all fit together in our tool belt.
As an Agile Coach and Trainer, Nate strives to help organizations do work better; figuring out how to build the right thing and build that thing right. How do we boost team morale? Improve product quality? Prioritize work? Manage change? Disrupt big industries or protect ourselves from being disrupted? These are the questions Nate loves.
As a contract Software Architect Nate helps technical teams in a variety of ways. Want to talk about how to write code that is not only tested but testable? Improve your automated test coverage? Break your system into domains? Make your systems more customizable and maintainable? Or do you just need someone to do some old fashioned code slinging for you? Nate can help with all of these.

Eric Poe will share about recent PHP community news. Then John Kary will guide us in a holiday-themed group programming exercise following AdventOfCode.com! No programming experience or laptop required to participate. Promise! Just your brain and problem solving skills.
Advent of Code is an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles for any skill set and skill level using any programming language. You don't need a computer science background to participate - just a little programming knowledge and some problem solving skills will get you pretty far. Nor do you need a fancy computer; every problem has a solution that completes in at most 15 seconds on ten-year-old hardware.
Light refreshments will be provided.
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 - Advent of Code (mob programming). Bring a laptop if you'd like to share your solutions in the language of your choice.
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.

Leadership gurus often say that the biggest thing holding people back is themselves, then want to charge you $1999 to attend a weekend seminar with 7,000 of your closest friends to learn how to stop doing that.

Diana is a recovering Imposter Syndrome sufferer who shares what Imposter Syndrome is, why it's important to confront Imposter Syndrome, and some practical tips for how to combat it.
