Join us on the 15th March for our next event at The Showroom Cafe. We'll be hosting three talks;
“I’m British So I Know How To Queue”
The talk will cover most chapters of the book, topics such as what are queues useful for, configuring queues, handling errors with dead letter queues and more. The book on offer at the moment in the current 5 for $30 bundle from NomadPHP.
“The Chimp Paradox : How to keep it cool”
This quick talk is based on the mind management book called The Chimp Paradox written by Dr. Steve Peters. It lays out simple models and strategies that we could use to
- Recognise how your mind is working - Understand and manage your emotions and thoughts - Manage yourself and become the person (or PHP Developer) you would like to be
“Nuclear powered software security”
It seems to be almost a weekly occurrence that another company makes the news headlines for being hacked and in the process disclosing sensitive user data and company secrets. These security meltdowns can cause catastrophic effects to the company in lost user trust and huge costs putting things right.
A nuclear power plant is considered one of the most dangerous things mankind has built, yet they very rarely go wrong. The systems engineering that goes into making nuclear power plants safe is a fascinating topic to study but on the surface it seems entirely irrelevant to PHP developers.
In this talk I'm going to show you how this level of safety is achieved, what happens when it goes wrong and then see what lessons we, as PHP developers, can learn from it to help us secure our applications from meltdown.
