Let's Talk: Efficient Communication for PHP and Android While mobile devices have evolved dramatically, their increased availability to consumers has added strain to networks and service providers are still struggling to make capacity meet demand. To keep hardware costs down, developers must now pinch bytes of bandwidth as they did with memory back in the earlier days of computing. This presentation will review the process of building a PHP-based REST web service to be consumed by a native Android application. Some of the general concepts it presents are also applicable to other mobile platforms such as iOS. It focuses mainly on handling data serialization and compression in both environments.

Building Testable PHP Applications There is lots of info out there on how to use testing tools but very little info on how to build your application in such a way that it can easily be tested. This session will cover strategies that can be used to shape your application in such a way that writing tests becomes easy instead of punishment detail. Learn about loosely-coupled architectures, dependency injection and why your tests should never touch a real database or call a real web-accessible API during testing.

Using Jenkins/Hudson for Continuous Builds Abstract: Jenkins, the successor of Hudson, can be used to continuously build and deploy your code and database upgrades. Continuous builds can be used to have snapshots of a work in progress for your customer to review for example. It can be used for applying code quality checks of course and even for ad-hoc deployment. In this webinar we will have a closer look at how Jenkins can be installed and configured to work with tools like Phing, Zend Tool, Symfony tasks and shell scripts, using one or more example projects.

Guidelines for Deploying PHP Applications For many PHP shops, moving code from development to production sounds like it should be easy, and it can be. The problem is that sometimes deployment strategies can result in longer downtime than is desired, rollbacks can be difficult or there can even be uncertainty on what is actually in the production environment. In this webinar we will look at a few basic methods that you can use to manage a predictable deployment. Presenter – Kevin Schroeder Presentation slides

PHP and AJAX on IBM i, a Great Pairing!
PHP is a great development tool on its own but by incorporating AJAX you can make your applications faster, easier to maintain and even more professional looking.
PHP and AJAX together offer simple ways to make your PHP scripts simpler and even more re-usable. AJAX is not a language. There is no software that you need to install to start using it. AJAX is a acronym that refers to the use of technologies inherent in all browsers. So if you are looking to deliver the best possible web applications to your clients then AJAX is the next tool you need to add to your toolbox.

Seven Steps to Better PHP code
 |
Developers spend an increasing amount of time maintaining existing code. Refactoring is a technique to make code more readable, maintainable, and extendable by improving the design, but without changing the visible behaviour. Refactoring can be successfully used in conjunction with migrations, bug fixing, when preparing to extend code, or just as an anti-aging measure to keep your code fresh. This two-part webinar will introduce you to a seven-step refactoring methodology specifically designed for PHP. PHP expert Stefan Priebsch will show you how to successfully apply refactoring to your PHP projects. This makes your code a little better every day, and helps you write better code in the future. Step 1: Format source code consistently Step 2: Establish naming conventions Step 3: Create API documentation Step 4: Elimimate redundant and duplicated code Step 5: Shorten code blocks Step 6: Separate different concerns Step 7: Replace implementations |
