Interfacing with Twitter Afficher la page de la présentation
Session en anglais
Twitter is everywhere. We're quick to judge Twitter's failures, but one of the things that they've done right is the creation of a rich API. Interfacing with this powerful mechanism has its quirks, but PHP's native streams and JSON support handle the tough parts and let you focus on the actual implementation. In this abridged crash course, you'll learn the basics of interacting with the Twitter API in PHP, from (auto-)following to tweeting, and in the process, we'll create a beer-rating bot like @beerscore.
Undercover code—supporting PHP with non-web tools Afficher la page de la présentation
Session en anglais
Many web applications need some sort of support system that functions outside of the normal HTTP-based infrastructure. Sometimes, you simply need to schedule a job that runs at certain times of the day (with cron), but other, more resource-intensive operations, might require you to push operations out to a cluster of cloud servers (with gearman). From creating daemons with supervisord or jobs that run in inetd without any user-facing socket code, to processing inbound mail with PHP, we'll cover a broad spectrum of tools that you can place in your mental toolbox.
