Happy Tax Day everyone! (yay…)
Tomorrow (April 16th) we will be having UPHPU at Needle! Details below: ## Talk Description For every short-cut taken technical debt is added to a project. Taking that path may come from one of many factors, including inexperience, time constraints, scope creep, or lack of resources. Managing technical debt with a professional approach can reduce the high interest rate you may be currently experiencing and lower team stress. That technical burden can be properly managed by giving proper attention, time, and resources to paying down the debt on a regular basis. Explore ways to consistently reduce technical debt and discuss best practices with fellow debtors. Learn how your code score can improve and how you can avoid going bankrupt from a proper technical debt management approach. ## Mark Niebergall's Bio Mark started coding in PHP in 2005 and works for a company based in Denver, Colorado, on an occupational health screening project. He spends most of his days coding in PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript. Mark is active in his local PHP user group, holds the SSCP and CSSLP certifications, and has even written exam questions for (ISC)2 for the SSCP certification. He also has a masters degree in Management Information Systems. You can often find Mark outdoors fishing, camping, hiking, or playing basketball. ## The After Party The After Party will be at the traditional location of Applebee's in Draper. We typically head over there at about 8:30-9:00, so watch Twitter and we'll announce when we're heading over. ## Meeting Venue: Needle The Meetings are still at Needle, their address is: Needle Inc.<br/> 14864 Pony Express Road<br/> Bluffdale, UT 84065 Look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday!
