NYCPHP Meetup

[Alan T. Miller]

The original question asked "what do you guys think of this idea for a new 
web site", it seems most people so far agree this would be a good idea to 
have such guidelines online. My thought is that why not put this information 
on NYPHP, perhaps as part of the phundamentals?

> I've always felt a useful site would be one that takes on each topic and
> applies a multitude of languages and perspectives, in order to show the
> basic idea behind the topic (basics like loops and conditions and
> application concepts like shopping carts and content management) and show
> how they carry over, while remaining similar.
