Laminas Advanced

Designed for proficient PHP programmers with practical experience and familiarity with Laminas (formerly Zend Framework), this course perfects your skillset and allows you to make better use of Laminas by taking advantage of advanced features. The class applies best practices for building applications while ensuring scalability, interactivity, and high performance. The course is designed around a series of practical use cases, guiding the developer in how to use Laminas to meet the challenges of each situation by making applications and APIs more robust, streamlined and secure.

What Will You Learn?

The Laminas Advanced course takes your web development ability to the next level.

The course starts with a module on database modeling and how to describe relationships using table, model and entity classes.

You also learn about "hydration", an important software design pattern, and how it's used to handle database queries and form data.

You then apply the hydration concept to advanced form handling, learning how to easily build complex forms.

Next is a module on advanced service container usage, after which you learn advanced techniques needed to properly handle standard tasks such as caching, session management, logging and email.

You then learn about how to implement a role-based access control security system that's tied to automatically generated menus.

Finally, you learn how to turn your application into a REST-based API suitable for commercial use.

What Will You Be Able to Achieve?

By the time you're done taking this course, you are able to:

• Increased customer satisfaction: With faster applications and less redundancy.
• Expansion of an application's reach: With a REST-based API.
• Security hardening: With controlled access to resources.
• File upload security: With input filtering and validation.
• Application flexibility: Using abstract factory classes that build objects where the class is unknown upon invocation.
• Application stability and reuse: With listener registration to an event manager.
• Secure login and credential storage: Using the latest authentication, encryption and hashing techniques.
• Form and database interface simplification: Using hydration capability.
