With classic web development benched, stay in the game with these tech
heavy-hitters as they give us an exclusive in-depth look at their new mobile
starting lineup, Flash Builder for PHP.  Join us this June when sluggers
Ryan Stewart and Edward Kietlinski step up to the plate and take us through
PHP mobile development, from A to Z.

As mobile is becoming more and more prominent client platform, developers
are interested in building similar rich desktop apps on mobile, by using
Flash and PHP you can build once and deploy on any major phone device
natively. Zend Server together with Flash Builder 4.5 for PHP adds complete
support for developing, testing and deploying mobile applications built
using Adobe Flex and PHP. Using your existing skills and familiar workflows,
you can now productively build and debug web, desktop and mobile
applications with Flash Builder. Attend this presentation to learn more
details including:

 - Single UI Framework - joint Flash/PHP project creation (Adobe and Zend)
 - Integrated Flex/PHP Debugging (Adobe and Zend)
 - Accelerated coding for Flex and Action Script projects (Adobe)
 - Build and deploy mobile apps for iOS, Android, and the PlayBook (Adobe)

Ryan Stewart (Adobe) holds an economics degree from the University of
Pennsylvania and is now a Rich Internet Application developer and industry
analyst. After graduating from Penn, he spent two years developing
applications for the Wharton School and pushing the idea of the web as a
platform for learning. Ryan now lives in Seattle with his wife and works at
Adobe as a Rich Internet Application Evangelist.

Edward Kietlinski (Zend) I'm currently at Zend Technologies for 5yrs and
have the honor and privilege to work with some of the industries tech
leaders at GE, ADP, NYSE, Cisco, here. I've been working on advanced
Internet projects since the early days at Netscape and then Opsware before

New York PHP Community, in collaboration with OWASP, is holding a monthly
series that reviews each of the OWASP Top Ten Web Security threats.

In the final inning of a shutout June, we welcome back Anthony Ferrara to
share his insight and expertise on the ubiquitous vulnerability that is
cross site scripting (XSS).

You may also tune-in at 6:30pm:
  -- http://www.ustream.tv/channel/new-york-php

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) is currently listed as OWASP's #2 highest risk
vulnerability affecting web applications today, yet most people simply don't
understand why they need to be concerned, and even more don't know how to
properly protect themselves against these common threats.

In this talk we will go over the core concepts of XSS - what it is, how it's
exploited, and the severity of the problem. We will dissect a real-world web
application to demonstrate finding - and exploiting - vulnerabilities.
Finally, we will review how to both prevent and thwart the XSS risk in your
code.

Anthony Ferrara is a Senior Developer at NBC Universal, a Zend Certified
Engineer and a OWASP member. He is a contributor to multiple Open Source
projects as well as the community as a whole. He is also a former Core Team
Member and Development Coordinator for the Joomla! project, as well as a
former leader of its Security team. You can follow his blog at
blog.ircmaxell.com or on Twitter at @ircmaxell.

We have reserved a private backroom at a restaurant, with an LCD, free
wireless, and seating for about 40 people.
