Aug 18: PHP Security By Example & Git Rebasing
Details
Practical PHP security examples - Will Donohoe (https://github.com/McSimp)
PHP has a pretty bad track record of insecure applications. Fortunately, today we use components like Doctrine and Twig to make our applications secure by default (for the most part) from SQL Injection and XSS. But there are still plenty of other gotchas and sources of vulnerabilities that are written everyday. This talk will cover some common insecure practices that are perhaps less well known than SQL injection and cross-site scripting(XSS), and how to fix them.
Git Rebasing - Tom Corrigan (https://twitter.com/tommygnr)
If you attended the July meetup and saw Alexar's talk on git concepts you would have heard some discussion about git rebasing. In this talk I will demystify this useful git command and teach you how and when to use it.
Networking
We'll head to the Turf Bar after the meetup for networking and socialising.
