Slim PHP when you don't need the kitchen sink

Full stack frameworks can often be too much for an application. What if you have a one off project that doesn't need "everything and the kitchen sink"? What if you have a large project you want to build yourself to be as lean as possible?

Join us for an introduction into the Slim framework. We'll cover getting started, building a small application, and using components from bigger frameworks and other extraordinary sources.
