Refresh Richmond is a community of designers, developers and other web professionals working to improve the creative, technical and professional aspects of new media endeavors in the Greater Richmond area.
What is the goal of Refresh Richmond?
In simple terms, Refresh Richmond hopes to bring people together to share what they know.
Through software and technology demonstrations, panel discussions, and open-ended Q&A sessions — driven by your creativity, knowledge and experience — we hope to bring members of the Richmond web community together to talk shop, have some fun, and strengthen the community in the process.

The State of PHP
Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 6:00pm
Corrugated Box | 201 West 7th Street, Richmond
PHP. Three letters that evoke a wide range of emotions. Developers love to pick on PHP these days, or simply brush it off as a language for amateurs, but most devs haven't bothered to see how things have improved in the last few years. We'll talk about some of the areas in which PHP has matured as a language, how the PHP developer's mindset and methodology has changed, and take a brief look at some of the newer frameworks that make development more fluent and... perhaps... more fun.
Join us and our presenter, Aaron Kuzemchak, at Corrugated Box on Tuesday, June 18 at 6pm. In typical Refresh fashion, beverages across the street at Legend will follow.
