Two presentations this week.

Intro/Designer/Business Segment:
PHP to Save Time: Aaron Saray
Your static page websites can benefit from a few snippets of PHP. Find out how to save time by including files, generating dynamic menus, highlighting active portions, and generating meta data and other header information. Intro PHP programmers will receive cut and paste code segments with a bit of description of 'why these work.'

Second Half: Advanced PHP Concepts:
Intro to PHP Debugging: Joel Clermont
If you're happy using var_dump or print_r to troubleshoot pesky PHP problems, I'll make the case why a real debugger is a better use of your time. Next, I'll demonstrate the basics of a typical debugging session using Zend Studio and Zend Server CE. Includes demo!

Relive this month's amazing panel and audience discussion about radio. Marvel at things said by representatives from local stations, Ryan Schleicher of WMSE, Tarik Moody of 88.9 Radio Milwaukee, Jim Conigliaro of Journal Communications and James Brust of online radio station Limbiq Frequencies.

What? You caught the live stream?! You Lie! There was no live stream! This is the only way to experience this once-in-a-lifetime meeting over and over again.

The statistics package on Blip.tv is pretty nice. Apparently one out of four of you will actually watch these episodes to completion. That's actually pretty good, in my mind, since we don't do a whole lot to encourage you to finish watching, outside of a few easter eggs hidden in the credit sequence.

You may have alsly noticed that I've switched on pre- and post-roll advertising on the embedded Web414 Shows. It's part of the continued push to make a bit of money for the Web414 crew to give back to our supporters, which, in most cases, means Bucketworks.

We've made approximately 11-cents on the Web414 show so far, and our most watched episode (since adding the preroll) has a CPM of $2. That means every time you watch that episode, Web414 makes $0.002 cents.

Relive the magic, or watch for the first time, as we hold our first official meeting in the maybe new Bucketworks. Marvel as we talk about meetings we've already had and reminiscing we've done already.

Oh, and this one has _a lot_ of swearing.

Embedded here for your viewing pleasure is The Web414 Show from Nov. 12, 2009.

This is the beginning of the show and covers discussion about MilwaukeeDevHouse4, LaLa.com and the perils of sticky tab keys. The "What do you make" segment has been extracted and given a life of its own, and the illegal public performance of copy-written work has been redacted by the thought police.

**THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD SKIP OUT OF PHYSICS CLASS IN ORDER TO WATCH IT LIVE, PEOPLE!!1!**

One of my favorite segments of each and every Web414 show is the introductions. We try to mix it up a little bit each week and ask our studio audience to tell us something about themselves along with their name and contact info.

On Nov. 12, 2009, we asked people to tell us what they make. They shared. You guys make some cool things. This epsiode of the Web414 show is dedicated to the makers who make. We love you, makers! You make us proud.

We were happy to be back at the Chase Commerce Center (the location of BarCampMilwaukee4) for the November 2009 Web414 Meeting...

There was a great discussion about how you run your business (be it small business or freelancing) and how to deal with clients, getting paid, insurance (or lack of) and lot's of other things. This is always a hot topic, and one we're sure to revisit in the future.

Where will we be next month? Who knows? The ongoing TBD venue question is always exciting, no?
