Aberdeen PHP User Group

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

We usually meet on the first Wednesday of each month and run talks or open conversations around a variety of tech topics; with a focus on PHP development but extending to general development practises.

We usually meet at ONE Codebase, School Hill, Aberdeen. We usually start at 6:30pm and run till about around 8:30 or 9:00pm.

We provide pizza, beer, soft drinks and terrible jokes.

The group is diverse, welcoming, sociable, relaxed, irreverent, informative and fun.

It is probably a good idea to check AberdeenPHP on Twitter a couple of days before the meeting, incase the time or venue has changed.

AberdeenPHP Monthly Meeting - Event Driven Systems

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!

----

You can learn more about Scott and follow him on Twitter as @Luciam91.

AberdeenPHP Monthly Meeting - Introduction to Zend Expressive for API building

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.

----

Stuart Herbert is an industry and open-source veteran, and one of the most experienced enterprise PHP developers in the UK, with nearly 25 years of commercial experience on projects for companies including Vodafone, Hewlett Packard, Orange (now EE), DataSift, Her Majesty's Government and many more. He is a co-author of the official Zend Certification Study Guide for PHP 4, and a regular tech speaker at user groups and conferences. He specialises in designing and delivering software that works, as founder and Chief Software Archaeologist of Ganbaro Digital Ltd.
