May Meetup

Announcing the details for our May meetup!

Rob Allen with Getting started with Slim 3

Slim is a PHP micro framework that enables you to write powerful web applications and APIs. In this talk, I will give an overview of the upcoming version 3 of framework and show how you can easily write maintainable applications with it.

We will look at how Slim's middleware system leverages the new PSR-7 HTTP request and response definitions to create easily understandable and flexible applications. We will cover application setup, routing and the relationship between actions and middleware. By the end of the session, you will be equipped to create Slim applications yourself.

Andrew Carter with Here Be Dragons: PHP at Its Limits

PHP application frameworks come with many well known benefits. The Request-Response structure exposed by many of these frameworks also gives us the opportunity to reduce overheads in our applications significantly. This talk gives a brief overview of the process, the dragons, similar technologies that are already available to use and why similar techniques are going to become a lot more common in the future.
