I was invited to set up a table for a LaunchCode KC
<https://www.launchcode.org/communities/kansascity> event this evening. I
was asked by the organizers if I wanted to have a table so I could talk to
the CS50x students about our local PHP UG.

I struggled over the weekend about what I could hand out given my budget of
$0.00. Today, inspiration hit and I put together some resources on our
website: http://kcpug.org/getting-started-with-php-in-kc. I then generated
a QR code for the URL and printed out a single sheet with the QR code, the
URL, and the contents of that page. I ended up not handing out anything
that attendees would just throw away.

I was much busier than I expected at this event and spoke for most of the
time to folks who were interested in PHP (yay!) and knew something about
PHP due to PSET 8 of CS50x
<https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-harvardx-cs50x>
 (YAYYYY!).

Given the resource page that I quickly threw together, do you have any
suggestions, recommendations, caveats? Does this look like the kind of
thing you would want to provide for your potential and current UG members?
