Tutorials and Talks Creating a Photo Tag Wall with Twilio Picture Messaging & PHP

Twilio’s recently announced Picture Messaging has vastly opened up what can be done with text messaging. Now photos can be attached to text messages and used in different ways. This tutorial shows how to build a Photo Tag Wall containing photos linked to tags that will be displayed on a website. The Jolt Microframework for PHP and Idiorm and Paris for MySql handling will be used.



Building a Customer Management App using Angular JS and Laravel

In this tutorial you will create a simple customer/transaction management system with the ability to add and remove both transactions and customers. This is probably not the kind of thing you make very often, but it shows how to use features of both frameworks.



Integrating Polymer/Dart and Symfony – Part 1

The first of this 2-part series looks at how to integrate two powerful tools, Symfony and Dart, together, i.e. to run Dart (after compiling to JavaScript) in a Symfony website to add some dynamics.



The Outer Iterator

Iterators, as the name implies, allow you to iterate over a collection. In many cases that collection is an array. However, PHP allows you to iterate over many other types of collections. A directory structure, XML, even database cursors can all be easily iterated over using the built in iterator classes. There are times however, when what you need to iterate over…is another `Iterator` that is itself iterating over something. For this very instance, the SPL has defined an interface for us - the OuterIterator.



Playing With HTML5 - Building a Simple Pool of WebWorkers

Gonzalo Ayuso has been playing with the HTML5′s WebWorkers. Since his JavaScript code runs within a single thread in his WebBrowser, heavy scripts can lock the execution of code. HTML5 gives one tool called WebWorkers to allow us to run different threads within our Application. In this article he is playing with one small example (that’s just an experiment). He wants to create a pool of WebWebworkers and use them as a simple queue.



Conceptual Difference Between Mockery and Prophecy

Konstantin Kudryashov clarifies the differences and similarities between these two PHP testing tools.



The IntlDateFormatter Class

Date Formatter is a concrete class that enables locale-dependent formatting/parsing of dates using pattern strings and/or canned patterns. This class represents the ICU date formatting functionality. It allows users to display dates in a localised format or to parse strings into PHP date values using pattern strings and/or canned patterns.
