Jeremy is a principal software engineer at GoDaddy; a co-organizer of the Arizona PHP User Group (@azPHP); and a father of 4. https://speakerdeck.com/jeremeamia 2015-03-14 17:46:54 -0400 What separates software engineers from principal software engineers? Mainly communication skills. One of the main communication skills in the principal engineer’s toolbelt is **diagramming**. In this session we’ll discuss different types of diagrams and their purposes. Then we’ll look at different tools we can use to make and share diagrams. Hopefully, we’ll all come out of this with a greater ability to draw boxes and arrows in a way that can bring about better software and teamwork and bigger paychecks.

Guzzle creates a powerful abstraction over multi-cURL and provides a familiar asynchronous interface using Promises. This presentation answers the what, why, and how for using Guzzle's async/concurrent request features.

In this presentation, we'll take a practical look at design principles and patterns as we iteratively build a package with increasingly challenging feature requests. The key acronym in our tool belt? SOLID. (NOTE: This presentation will use an OOP-style pseudo-code language to appeal to developers of more than just one language.)

Well, at least until the next set of requirements come in and tries to "sweep the leg" of your beautiful codebase. However, by following the SOLID object-oriented design principles, you can minimize the churn or hacks needed as your code is forcefully evolved.

Let's discuss a few best practices and how embracing three particular technologies — the Lumen framework (and related packages), the Guzzle HTTP library, and the Swagger (OpenAPI) Specification — can make it easier for you to implement your API and for your users to consume your API. That way, everyone can spend more time adding business value, instead of writing boilerplate code. #laravel #php Building a quality RESTful API can be challenging.

Jeremy Lindblom (@jeremeamia) will show you how to get started with the WordPress API, and teach you a little about HTTP and APIs, in general, along the way. You should walk away with "Steve Holt"-like confidence in knowing how to setup the API for a WordPress site and consume the API from other projects using existing tools. Don't make "a huge mistake"!

Part of cURL’s power comes from its “Multi” interface, which allows you to make concurrent HTTP requests using non-blocking I/O. Guzzle's HTTP handler implementation abstracts the complexity of cURL Multi into a simpler experience using Promises and PSR-7. Learn how to use Guzzle to work with HTTP requests and web service APIs in an asynchronous way, potentially saving you time and increasing the throughput of your PHP applications and services.

Well, that is what the PHP runtime tells you when you try to do it, anyway. Back in 2010, I set out to prove PHP wrong with my SuperClosure project, which allows you to serialize—and then actually unserialize and execute—PHP closures. I’ve learned a lot along the way, especially about about Closures, Reflection, and lexical parsing. I want to tell you the whole story, teach you some of PHP’s dark magic, and show you how some code snippets in a blog post evolved into a quirky open source project that has been downloaded over two million times, despite its usage of the infamous eval().

What’s in *your* project root? If you take a look at PHP projects hosted on GitHub, you’ll find a plethora of configuration and other files in the project's root directory that are made out of everything. There’s JSON, Markdown, YAML, XML, and even some PHP (phew). Let’s talk about what all of these files do and what things you might be missing out on.
