[Solomon K. Chang]

Sorry, Gents, I had a brief lack communication with Jorge, who had already booked this weekend's talk. The topic will NOT be Supercookies, but...

Lambdas in PHP 5.3 

When: Saturday, August 20, 2011 1:00 PM

Where: Tom Bradley Youth and Family Center
5213 West Pico Blvd. 
Los Angeles, CA 90019 
213-915-4402

This is a Joint meetup between LAPHP and LAMPsig. 

PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION 

One of PHP5.3's terrific features is the ability to use lambdas.  But, 
wait, didn't we already have that with PHP5?  What was create_function()
 about after all?  What is the difference between a lambda and a closure
 or is there any in PHP? Come and explore with me these and other 
questions in an adventure to discover the truth about lambdas in PHP.  
The presentation touches on the origins of the lambda and  its 
implementation in PHP5.3.  Far greater emphasis is on live code 
demonstrations of lambdas (and closures, too!) as well as in-depth 
discussion about the code.
