Since this is our first meetup, this will be an informal meeting where we can
meet each other and plan future meetups. If you are new to CakePHP or an
experienced developer, this will be a great place to learn about CakePHP to use
it to rapidly develop web applications.
Do you have something to say about CakePHP? We are looking for presenters for future events.
Is there something you want to learn about CakePHP? Let us know, and we will try to find someone to present on that subject.
New to CakePHP? Then checkout cakephp.org and its documentation resources. Give the Blog Tutorial a try!

HUG Access SIG Meeting 6:30 pm, August 15, 2012, at JCCC, Regnier 2nd Floor, RC 253
Beginners Presentation:Presenter: Silvia Siren
Topic: Tip #4 - A Single query to Do Both Updates and Insertions
Silvia will be presenting Access Solutions Tip 4 - Single Query to do Both Updates and Insertions. This is a beginner level presentation which will demonstrate the use of a query to update information in a table in order to keep two sources of data synchronized. Please join us for this presentation and for a discussion of different types of queries!Topic: Tip #4 - A Single query to Do Both Updates and Insertions
Advanced Presentation:
Presenter: Bill Diamond
Topic: Null Propagation
When placing text in a form or report we often need to add elements that are not a part of the text itself. This is usually punctuation such as the period after the middle initial, the comma after city in an address and the double space after the state and before the zip code as desired by the poatal service. There are simple means to do this and they work all the time as long as the data has every field filled. In the case of a missing middle initial or left out city leaves a . where the middle initial was expected and a comma where the city is supposed to be. In the case where there is no second address line leaves a noticeable gap in the address label.
With the presentation we will show a method that lets Access do the things it wants to do but trick it into doing them the way we desire. This involves a method known as Null Propagation This operation lets us format the text and it also has a side benefit, the ability to squeeze more data onto an address label which can often relieve the need to switch to a larger label.
Bill Diamond in the past was a heavy user of Microsoft Access and picked up a few tricks along the way which he is willing to share with the rest of the group.

Entrepreneurs join us for Startup Trivia
Night
During One Week KC, Silicon Prairie News hosted Trivia Night at the Beacon. Tragically, my team didn’t win. I blame the guys for believing startup-fetishist Ashton Kutcher has more Twitter Followers than meat-suitist Lady Gaga. I doused my humiliation with an IPA and some jeers at the competition, but I wouldn’t say I went home empty-handed. It was a great atmosphere for making a few new friends.
That’s why the next Venture Friday meetup is taking inspiration from SPN’s event. At least, that’s what I’m telling myself to justify the added expense of prizes. Truth be told, we just want to have some fun this time. Summer is winding down and people are heading back to school, it’s kind of a bummer.
August 10th we’ll host Startup Trivia Night at Red Nova Labs, with questions tailored around local and national entrepreneurship—including a lot of you. Winning teams of each round will split $100, with more exotic prizes going to those individuals who answer bonus trivia.
As usual, doors will open at 4 p.m. Since a lot of you can’t get to our place that early, the Startup Trivia game will begin just after 5 p.m. and run until about 7 p.m. A lot of our members have requested a repeat of our Rapid Intros format, so we’re thinking about experimenting with a hybrid event, mixing up the teams between trivia rounds.
Later this fall we’re looking forward to hosting another Startup Roundup as well as a Rapid Intro. And we’ve invited Blue Valley CAPS out to speak about their goal to partner with local intelligences on various immersion programs for their students. If you’d like to be involved in the Startup Roundup, email me at croyce@rednovalabs.com.
Brush up on your startup knowledge and we’ll see you in a couple of weeks.

No soliciting or mooching please (entrepreneurial mojo required; see Discussions).
Under 21 please notify us before attending (contact the organizers for info).
Venture Fridays is a simple but fun concept: The startup culture of Kansas City and surrounding areas is invited to gather at our private office lounge to discuss what we’re all thinking about, working on, needing help with, and might do for each other. Existing or aspiring entrepreneurs of all types and ages are invited. Let’s raise our glasses to building the entrepreneurial culture beyond ourselves.
Want to present your idea, get feedback, or find testers? Have an idea for an awesome entrepreneurial jam? We invite startup stimulation. Contact Carrie at Red Nova Labs.

IdeaMensch Kansas City – August 2 at Think Big Partners
Ideas by themselves are of little value. Whether your idea is an app, a nonprofit, a book, a website or an invention – what matters is how you bring it to life. And really it doesn’t matter whether the idea you’re bringing to life is a business, a project or a cause – the one thing that connects all people with ideas are our passions, struggles and ways we go about bringing our ideas to life.
Our mission is to help people bring their ideas to life. That’s what we try to do through our daily interviews with folks ranging from Seth Godin to Tony Hsieh to Craig Newmark, and that’s what we’re trying to do with our 48-state road trip across America.
And that’s what we’re going to do with our event in Kansas City. At every event, we we bring in a wide range of awesome speakers who then spend 10 minutes talking about an idea they brought (or are bringing to life), how they did and what you can learn from it. And then you’ll have 10 minutes to ask them questions and continue the conversation. We try to create an intimate setting that allows for the audience to really engage with our speakers.
We promise you’re going to walk away with at least five super valuable nuggets of information to put to use for your own idea. This isn’t a networking event, but you’re sure to meet some fascinating people.
The event will start at 6pm and go until about 9pm, and will be held at:
Think Big Partners
1800 Baltimore | 4th Floor
Kansas City, MO 64108
The following speakers will share with us their insights, struggles and lessons learned from bringing to life their ideas.
- Brian Morgan of Lampein Labratories
- Kirk Hasenzahl of RareWire
- Adam Coomes of Infegy
- Seth Meinzen of EvisThrive
