One of the April 2008 presentations, Salesforce integration with PHP, is now up on slideshare.
One half of May’s presentations is now available - Feature Based Web Development with Bazaar is now on Slideshare.net
We take a look at feature based development using Bazaar. We cover version control evolution, what a feature is, how to develop features rather than file changes and finally providing those features for provisioning of your web app!
If you download the presentation from slideshare and open it in Open Office, the presentation notes will be available.
Two presentations that were been sitting on my hard drive for some time have just been uploaded. Apologies for the delay.
We have Reading Emails with PHP and Using SPL
Of course our entire archive is available - and a lot of the presentations make more sense if you come to a meeting (1st Thursday Feb - Nov)
Presenters: please note that no new presentations will be accepted in the old S5 format as we are now using Slideshare.net for presentation hosting. This means presentations must be in “..ppt, pps & pot (PowerPoint), pdf, odp (OpenOffice). Keynote users can save as pdf.” - slideshare.net/upload.
Thanks to everyone (20+) who attended and contributed to the May meeting. Our next meeting is scheduled for Thursday 5th June - we have some tentative presentations scheduled in including a look at a music site being developed by one of the sydphp members and CodeGear providing a review of version 2 of their Delphi IDE for PHP.
As always, if anyone would like to present something related to Web Development at a meeting, please follow the instructions provided to let the organisers know.
Other quick notes to cover in this posting:
Thanks!
PHP users and developers of all levels from the Sydney region are invited to the May 2008 meeting
This month we have two great presentations, one an introductory look at SMS handling with PHP, the other will dip your toes into feature based web development using Bazaar, a distributed revision control system
Meetings are free, held every first Thursday of the month at CodeGear offices, Sydney and are open to anyone with an interest in Web Development.
May 1st 2008 at 6.30pm.
6:30 - 6:40 - Introductions and Announcements
6:40 - 7:15 - SMS handling with PHP - Damien McGuire & Adam Dukes
Handling SMS in PHP may sound complicated, but it’s actually pretty straightforward. We discuss sending SMS using an HTTP API along with the low level communication functions being used.
Level: Beginner
7:15 - 7:30 - Break: Pizza and drinks kindly provided by CodeGear
7:30 - 8:30 - Feature based web development with Bazaar - James Ellis
How is the code developed by your organisation managed and provisioned? Do you still use FTP to update your web apps? Can it be done in a more coherent way that benefits your developers, organisation and your customers? You bet! James will show the ins and outs of developing features rather than file changes - and managing the testing and provision of those features so that you stay in control of your web application.
Level: Medium
(Please note that presentation times are estimates only - length of presentations may vary)
