Talks

This workshop introduces using Laravel’s opinionated rapid development concepts to create a real, working website. You’ll use the Blade templating engine, database access through Eloquent, command line using Artisan and acceptance testing using Dusk. Attendees will leave the session knowing how to quickly and easily create a simple, secure web application using Laravel.

Zend Expressive 3 is the ideal framework for building PHP applications of all types. Its easy-to-understand architecture makes it ideal for projects of all shapes and sizes. In this talk, I'll show you how to build an Expressive application than can scale with your needs. We will look at how Expressive's middleware system leverages the upcoming PSR-15 specification to create easily understandable and flexible applications. We will cover application setup, routing and error handling before diving into some thoughts on how architect an Expressive application. By the end of the session, you will be equipped to create Expressive applications yourself.

OAuth 2 is the gold standard for authentication in APIs and in this talk I took a deep dive into how it works and how to implement an OAuth 2 server in your API. There are a number of work flows in OAuth 2 for different scenarios including mobile apps and websites connecting via JavaScript, so I looked at each one and showed how to implement the password and client credentials grant types.

What makes an API or microservice delightful? An intuitive interface, consistent behaviour, and a reliable, scalable platform. This talk will cover how serverless technologies can help you to deliver all of these things for your API, ensuring that developers will want to work with your API over the competition. I'll cover how to design, build and deploy for serverless platforms, and how to use an API gateway to turn incoming HTTP requests into events that trigger those serverless functions. I'll share some top tips for solid API design – both from a technical HTTP standpoint and with developer experience firmly in mind. After this session, you'll be building and iterating on first-class APIs and microservices, and developers will be clamouring to use them.

Serverless applications have a number of benefits and JavaScript is the most common language to write serverless functions in. Why not PHP? In this talk, I will discuss how I implemented first class PHP support into the Apache OpenWhisk platform. We’ll start by looking at OpenWhisk’s architecture and what happens when you invoke a function. Then, I’ll show you how I implemented the PHP support and walk though some example PHP serverless actions.

Serverless systems allow us to concentrate solely on our code and let the provider deal with infrastructure issues such as scaling and routing. Serverless is best known for responding to events, however it is also an excellent choice for APIs and microservices. In this talk I looked at how to use Apache OpenWhisk to implement APIs using the Swift programming language.
