SUMMARY:The Raleigh-Durham Web Design & Markup Group June Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Web Design Meetups > The Raleigh-Durham Web Design & Markup Gro
 up\n\nCorrect Map\n\nMay: How it Fits: Scripting Languages\n\n   We'll disc
 uss how scripting fits in the overall architecture of building Web sites\, 
 and applications. Deep discussions of Ruby on Rails\, ASP\, PHP\, MySQL\, m
 ay be more appropriate to groups focussed on MySQL\, PHP\, and Ruby. We'll 
 try to stick to basics and answering users' questions. \n\n  A Web Design m
 eetup member has mentioned the possibility of offering an office conference
  room for a meeting. This might be good for a small tutorial. If you're int
 erested in presenting on a topic in a more formal presentation setting\, pl
 ease let the organizer know.\n\n2008 Tentative Agenda\n********************
