edPUG Tue 18th Oct 16: Scott Pringle - Microservices: How do we build them?

It is October, a big month for Scottish PHP, with Scotland's first dedicated PHP Conference taking part on the 29th of the month. Why not get an early taste for PHP talks by coming to a live talk by Scott Pringle at edPUG!

Microservices: How do we build them?
Microservices, the buzzword everyone loves. We've all heard about them, some of us are even building them, but what happens when we try to stitch it all back together?

Come watch with us and discuss over beer and PHPizza, we hope to see you there!

Cheers,

edPUG Tuesday 20th August 2016: VIDEO: Long Live HTTP/2

It's September and Christmas things have already started appearing in the shops.
We have an early Christmas present for you, another excellent video from Laracon US 2016! Don't say we're not good to you!

Come watch the video of Ben Ramsey's talk - Long Live HTTP/2

Request for Comments (RFC) 2616 reigned supreme as the specification for the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) for fifteen years.
Now, it’s been obsoleted by a handful of new RFCs, and HTTP/2 is a reality.
In this talk, we’ll take a look at the new RFCs, discuss the differences and clarifications they make, and take a look at what’s new in HTTP/2 and what it means for you.

As usual, beer and pizza on the night, hope to see you there!

edPUG Tuesday 16th August 2016: VIDEO: Servers for Hackers

In this months Festival Fringe edition of edPUG we are avoiding the hustle and bustle of the Royal Mile and instead watching video for all PHP developers - "Servers for Hackers" aka "Server Admin for Programmers", which was presented at Laracon US by Chris Fidao.

As it says on https://serversforhackers.com/ - "Other than experience, nothing else has boosted my development career more than learning about the servers running our applications."

Come along and share your server horror stories, we all must have them! We'll all hopefully learn a few tips and tricks and produce less 500 errors caused by file permissions!

Hope to see you there!

edPUG Tuesday 19th July 2016: VIDEO: Doctrine ORM good practices and tricks

It's July, the weather has been a bit on and off, and some of you might be wondering what's happening to the Summer... but I know what you're all really thinking - Doctrine! Doctrine! Doctrine? I wish I knew more good practices and tricks for this well known ORM. Well what are the chances of this? Marco Pivetta recently did a talk at PHP Serbia Conference 2016 on this exact topic!

Doctrine ORM is a complex tool that enables development of very advanced applications, but are you actually using it correctly? What if you have been using the ORM incorrectly or in an inefficient way? We are going to inspect the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches to application design with this Data mapper, and come up with a set of best practices that will be useful for your projects.

Come watch the video with us with beer and PhPizza!
Hope to see you there!

It is June, we think it's meant to be the summer, well there was that one week of sun a wee while ago, there is still hope!

Don't worry, if you need to start shopping early for an autumn/winter wardrobe there is always online shopping.

Are you wondering what the best tool is for building a modern e-commerce site? Then come watch this months video - "Sylius: Something For Everyone by Adam Elsodaney (Inviqa)"

Sylius is a modern full-stack e-commerce web application built on the Symfony standard edition. Developed using BDD methodology, it provides a clean architecture and greater flexibility through decoupling the plaform into separate components and bundles. That means it's not just a web application, it is also a library of different tools; You don't need to have an e-commerce project, or even use Symfony to able to benefit from Sylius. Sylius is also format-agnostic, so you can "bring your own frontend".

This video will walk through most of the 37 bundles and 30 components in Sylius and how they can be used in any project. This video will be of interest to those who dislike reinventing the wheel - or love Symfony and dislike Magento.

Starting and focusing on the most important of all - Resource and ResourceBundle - which attempts to eliminate the tediousness of creating new models where you'd normally have to configure with Doctrine, then you have to create the forms, then the controller CRUD operations, then the routing, the REST API, validation, translations, etc, etc... yet at the same time eliminates the pain from using admin generators that have little flexibility and add more complexity unnecessarily.

Other bundles and components of focus in the video will be Product, FlowBundle, Storage, Report, Registry, Archetype, Taxonomy and Addressing.

The video will also go through the conventions adopted and created to aid the development of Sylius and how they can be also suited to other projects.

Come watch the pre-recorded video of the talk with us with beer an pizza, hope to see you there!

It is half way through May, the weather is finally getting warmer, and we can all relax a bit more and bathe in the soothing summer sun. What’s that? An evil hacker has stolen all our customer details and destroyed our site! Nooooooo! If only we'd paid a bit more attention to security!

Now that we have your attention, security is extremely important, but how much do you know about it, and more importantly, what are these evil hackers are up to, and how vulnerable are your websites!

Join us at edPUG to watch a video from PHP UK Conference 2016 - Security Theatre by Thomas Shone.

“This is not your normal security talk (video). Sure we talk about secure communication and the importance of hashing and encrypting (and why rolling your own is never a solution). We might even get frisky and cover some more interesting topics like true randomness, timed attacks and social engineering. But what we're really interested in is understanding what that hacker is trying to do on your site, what the motivation is and, using this, understand where you need to be vigilant. We're also going to talk about the results from an ongoing 4 year project to see just how vulnerable the average consumer website is. Theodore Sturgeon famously said 90% of everything is crud, we'll get to see just how close we come to that number. So if you're ready to see how scary the dark depths of security can be and just how scary it is when you look up and see all the leaky boats above us is, this is for you.”

edPUG Tuesday 19th April 2016: How I learned to stop worrying and love Regex

Whether you love them or hate them, as a PHP developer, you will encounter regular expressions in all kinds of places.

We're lucky to now have the PHP UK Conference 2016 vides available to watch, so why don't you, like Jordi Boggiano, learn to stop worrying and love Regex!

Let's watch the video together with some beer and pizza, then discuss the best and worst regular expressions we've written or encountered!

This video will cover Regular Expressions from the basics to the darkest corners of this arcane art. Regular Expressions at the core come in handy to achieve validation and text manipulation tasks. In the day to day life of a developer, becoming comfortable with them opens up many more use cases. As one of the tortured souls that actually enjoys writing - and reading - regexes, Jordi will share his passion so that you too can see there is no reason to worry.

edPUG Tuesday 15th March 2016: edPUG.tv - What is Let's Encrypt?

Like a spring chicken, edPUG has sprung up on us quickly this month!
We'll take a wee break from the excellent in person talks of recent months, and all sit down and watch a topical video together.

Love him or hate him, Edward Snowden has done a lot to raise the profile of security on the web and the importance of encryption.
We're not watching a video about him (we do recommend watching Citizenfour), but instead, will watch "What is Let's Encrypt?", a talk by Jörg Henning given at the Singapore PHP User Group.

As usual drinks and pizza available on the night, hope to see you there!

Romance is in the air, and with Valentines Day out the way you can focus on your true love - PHP and the web!
We have something for both frontenders and backenders to get excited about, with an in person talk by Brian Douglas and edPUG's very own Stephen Heron.

A pattern library is a collection of design elements that appear multiple times across a site. Some examples of items that might appear in a pattern library are buttons, headings, lists, paragraphs etc.

At this month's edPUG Brian Douglas will discuss pattern libraries in general and then he will show his custom Pattern Library built with Hapi.js.

Following Brian’s talk we will have a second presentation from Stephen Heron which will show how the patterns from a pattern library can in integrated into PHP projects.

As usual, beer and pizza on the night, hope to see you there!

edPUG Tuesday 19th January 2016: David McKay: Let's say hello to Docker

It is now 2016 and a very exciting year for PHP lies ahead with the recent release of the speedy PHP 7.
You may have been drinking like an elePHPant over the festive break. Fear not! We have a late Christmas present for you all in the form of an excellent talk on Docker by David McKay to get you feeling ship shape again!

Docker, the hottest technology around at the moment ... it swept the Ops world by storm in 2014, became mainstream in 2015, and now it’s set to dominate the developer world, in 2016.

Docker is a tool that allows you to package your application up into a single-runnable distributable binary - akin to the phar, but in Hulk mode. Docker allows you, a developer, to specify the exact environment your application needs to run, across development; test; staging; and production.

In this talk I will cover the creation of this utopian distributable and show you how to can compose your entire production infrastructure locally with only a small YAML file and without installing a single thing.

Let's say hello, to Docker.

Edinburgh PHP User Group Talk - PHP extensions & 2D/3D graphics programming in PHP

Get warmed up for Halloween with a frighteningly good in person edPUG talk by Santiago Lizardo from LogicNow. He'll trick and treat you with his tales of C and PHP.

About the speaker

Santiago Lizardo is a seasoned software engineer with more than a decade in the professional programming world. He studied in Argentina, moved to Spain for work reasons, to finally end up living in Scotland where he is spending his days between family life, full time working at LogicNow as Software Development team lead and when he finds some spare time publishing open source code in the form of little tools and games.

About the talk

The talk will introduce you to the concept of PHP extensions in C. Reasons why would you write one, and walk-through the process of becoming a PHP contributor to publish the extension in the PECL directory.
After that, two extensions written by the speaker for multimedia programming in PHP will be discussed and will be showcased. 2D and 3D worlds for the desktop in PHP are possible and lot of fun.

As usual, Pizza and beer on the night, hope to see you all there!

It's August, the Edinburgh Fringe is in full swing (powered by PHP!) and the clubs are open until 5am. This leaves you plenty time to spare an hour or so out of your evening schedule to come down to edPUG and watch an ace video from PHP Tour Luxembourg 2015.

The promise of asynchronous PHP - Wim Godden (Video)

From ReactPHP to Facebook Hack's Async implementation and many more, asynchronous programming has been a 'hot' topic lately. But how well does async programming support work in PHP and what can you actually use it for in your projects? Let's look at some real-world use cases and how they leverage the power of async to do things you didn't know PHP could do.


Hope you can all make it, beer and pizza on the night.

edPUG Tuesday 16th June 2015: edPUG.tv - Bring your PHP application to the next level with React.JS

PHP has turned 20! Let's party edPUG style by watching another excellent PHP UK Conference 2015 video:

Bastian Hoffmann: Bring your PHP application to the next level with React.JS

React.JS is a very powerful library for building user interfaces and the new, cool kid in the JavaScript world. But it is also very interesting for creating a fast, maintainable and interactive PHP application. In this talk I'll show what React is all about and how you can combine it’s power with your PHP application, even if you have to render out HTML on the server side. The result will be a flexible, component based architecture that enables developers to take page elements, like a single "follow" button, and place it everywhere on the site without having to duplicate any PHP, JS, HTML, CSS or AJAX endpoints in the process.

As usual, beer and pizza available on the night, hope to see you there!

edPUG Tuesday 19th May 2015: edPUG.tv - convert to Hack / Grasp SOLID

It's May, Star Wars Day has passed, so the second coolest date in the May calendar surely has to be edPUG!

Glasgow PHP have secured an excellent talk by Josh Watzman, but since once person can't be in two different places at the same time (unless they follow the rules of quantum mechanics) we thought we'd do the next best thing, and show Josh's Video "Convert Your PHP Code to Hack", which he presented at a Hack Dev Day.

Since this video is only 30 minutes long, we're following up with another excellent must watch video - "Anthony Ferrara - Don't be STUPID, Grasp SOLID".

"When it comes to Object Oriented Programming, there is no shortage of guidelines and principles for how to properly design an OO system. There is also no shortage of acronyms to describe these principles: DRY, SRP, LSP, LoD, ISP, OCP, etc. However, there are two acronyms that really shine through to describe how to, and how not to do OOP well. The two acronyms are SOLID and STUPID (respectively)."

As usual drinks and pizza on the night, hope to see you there!

Cheers,
edPUG

edPUG Tuesday 21st April 2014: edPUG.tv - PHP package design

It's April, the clocks have gone forwards, and spring is in the air. Don't be an April fool, forget the fact the evenings are getting more pleasant and get yourself down to the Blonde offices and watch an excellent conference video together! We have a fresh video from FOSDEM'15 that we're sure you'll enjoy.

Beer and pizzas available on the night, and we have bonus surprise giveaway!

We hope to see you there!

With many great tools available for sharing packages of PHP code, it is now up to you as a developer to design these packages well. You have to decide what to put in a package, when to split a package and on what other packages you can safely depend.

You will learn how to make good decisions about your package design and release reliable, highly usable and therefore highly esteemed packages of PHP code.

edPUG Tuesday 17th March 2015: Glynn talks about Aspect Oriented Programming

The 17th of March marks Saint Patrick's Day, but more importantly, it's the third edPUG of 2015! Swap your Guinness for a Tennents Lager and your Shamrocks for SHA-1's and celebrate PHP instead.
This month we are pleased to announce we have an interesting talk from Glynn Forrest discussing AOP.

"As applications add features and codebases get bigger, code duplication becomes a problem. Aspect Oriented Programming avoids repetition by injecting reusable aspects without altering the original code. This talk will explore the AOP options available for PHP, examine the pros and cons, and add some AOP features to a simple Symfony application."

As usual beer and pizza available on the night, hope to see you there!

edPUG Tuesday 17th February: Laravel 5 From Scratch: edPUG.tv

With edPUG following shortly after Valentines Day, come spend time with the second love of your life - PHP!

February 6th 2015 saw the eagerly anticipated release of Laravel 5. Laravel has been growing and growing in popularity since its first release in June 2011. As of August 2014, it is now the most popular and watched PHP project on GitHub.

Despite having Symfony components under the hood, the developer experience is vastly different to that of the Symfony framework with a focus on elegance, simplicity, and readability. Web Develovers code Symfony, Web Artisans craft Laravel!

Come watch the first hour of the "Laravel 5 From Scratch" tutorial series with fellow PHP developers and tell us your thoughts!

As usual beer and pizza available on the night, see you there!

Cheers,
edPUG
