Web Application Architecture

Stefan Priebsch thePHP.cc

2009-11-16 | 09:45 AM - 10:45 AM | Clubraum

Architecture, like art, creates controversy. What some perceive as beautiful, others consider ugly. Since the architecture of a web application is far less "visible", it is important to make the right design decisions when creating a web application. Which architecture makes an application scalable and maintainable? How can we plan for extensibility, without over-engineering the application?

Symfony Components: What's in for you?

Fabien Potencier Sensio

2009-11-17 | 04:30 PM - 05:30 PM | Forum 1

Every month, the PHP developer toolbox gets better thanks to the PHP classes provided by ezComponents and the Zend Framework. Back in May 2009, the Symfony project announced yet another library of PHP classes: the "Symfony Components". In this session, I will give a quick overview of the components that you won't find elsewhere, how you can use them, and what's planned for the future.

Charsets & Encodings

Kore Nordmann Manuel Pichler

2009-11-18 | 04:30 PM - 05:30 PM | Clubraum

Jeder Webentwickler st��t fr�her oder sp�ter auf sie: Zeichensatzprobleme. Die M�glichkeiten, dass etwas falsch l�uft, sind vielf�ltig: User-Input-Handling, PHP-String Handling, das Storage Backend, die Ausgabe. Dieser Vortrag zeigt, wie man Zeichens�tze mit PHP korrekt behandelt, sodass mit Sicherheit nie mehr komische, ungewollte Zeichen auf der Webseite zu sehen sind.

Building real-time Applications with XMPP

Travis Swicegood

2009-11-16 | 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM | Forum 1

"Are we there yet?" "Are we there yet?" "How 'bout now?" Ever go on a trip where someone is impatient and continues to badger those around them with questions about how quickly we're arriving? It's annoying, yet this is how most modern web applications work! Stop the insanity and learn how you can use XMPP (eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) in your applications today.

Reliable Acceptance Testing

Dagfinn Reiers�l

2009-11-18 | 04:30 PM - 05:30 PM | Forum 2

We need automated acceptance testing and functional testing in addition to unit testing. But tests that exercise the whole application tend to be fragile and break whenever the user interface changes. In this session, we will look at tools for acceptance testing and strategies to create robust tests, including the test bus concept, test patterns and refactorings.

Xdebug � PHP developer's Swiss-Army Knife

Derick Rethans eZ systems

2009-11-16 | 11:15 AM - 12:15 PM | Clubraum

You write code, you introduce bugs. There is simply no way to avoid that. During this session I present an application with many styles of different bugs introduced into the code base. You will learn how to use debugging tools (Xdebug, KCacheGrind, etc.), that we're going to use to dive into the code and figure out what and where the bugs are.

PHP on the D-BUS

Derick Rethans eZ systems

2009-11-18 | 09:00 AM - 10:00 AM | Forum 2

The D-BUS Inter Process Communication mechanism is the basis for system-related functionality on Linux-based systems. In this presentation I will present a PHP/D-BUS integration to allow PHP to talk to D-BUS aware applications. I will demonstrate controlling Skype from PHP, as well as the implementation of PHP-GTK-based applications on the OpenMoko to talk to the f.e. GPS and GSM modules.

The state of SOAP in PHP

David Z�lke Bitextender GmbH

2009-11-18 | 03:15 PM - 04:15 PM | Forum 2

PHP has been shipping with ext/SOAP ever since version 5.0, and the extension has come a long way since in terms of features and compatibility. This talk will give a brief introduction to what SOAP is and how it works, and then show how to create SOAP clients and servers in PHP. We'll also examine some of the lesser known features of the extension such as type maps or SOAP header handling.

Code smells in PHP

Dagfinn Reiers�l

2009-11-17 | 01:45 PM - 02:15 PM | Forum 1

Refactoring and cleaning up code is vitally important to design and architecture. But you need to know what must be refactored. The warning signs are known as code smells. In this session, we will study real-world examples of typical smells in PHP code (including primitive obsession, large class, longmethod and deep nesting) and learn how they can be dealt with effectively.

Fix your Architecture!
