Are you Ready to Hire an Engineer?

A plain English checklist

This checklist is intended to help non-technical people decide if the business is ready to engage the services of an engineer or a consulting firm. It is the goal of this checklist to give non-technical folks a leg up in these conversations so that they are less likely to get into lengthy (and very expensive) engagements.

	# Understanding Design Patterns with PHP

	The MVC Pattern has long been a standard in PHP Development. But is it the best for everything? In this talk,
	we will explore various types of design patterns, touching on a creational pattern such as the Factory method,
	a behavioral pattern like the Strategy pattern and finally a structural pattern with an example from the
	Decorator Pattern. I hope that by showing these patterns, it will give developers something new to think about
	and open the possibilities of new applications being created in different ways.
