Aberdeen PHP User Group aims to provide a regular meeting for developers in Aberdeen and the surrounding areas to get together and discuss just about anything in and around the PHP Community.

This month we are joined by Stuart Herbert!

Whether it's micro-service architectures, single-page web apps in React or Angular, or simply providing data-and-functionality-as-a-service, API development is firmly a thing today. There's plenty of advice out there about designing APIs - but how do you turn it into working, shippable code?

In this talk, Stuart will introduce you to his framework of choice for API development - Zend Expressive. He'll explain why he's gone with it, how to get started, and how to organise your code to get the best out of it. He'll also cover the essential elements that are missing (authentication, logging, metrics, validation, error handling, rate limiting), and finish by looking at how to go about testing your finished API.

AberdeenPHP Monthly Meeting -Event Driven Systems

Aberdeen PHP User Group aims to provide a regular meeting for developers in Aberdeen and the surrounding areas to get together and discuss just about anything in and around the PHP Community.

This month we are joined by Scott Pringle!

What is an event? Events are powerful, events mean something. An event is something that has happened, it is fact. No if's, but's or maybe's, but fact.

In this talk Scott is going to take you through some of the advantages (and disadvantages) of utilising events in how you write your code to abstract away side-effects of business processes.

He'll then delve into some of the more complex applications of using events via event sourcing or distributed messaging.

Hopefully at the end, you'll all want to go away and integrate events into everything you build!
