This document provides an overview of Phing, an open source build tool based on Apache Ant. Phing allows users to automate tasks like configuration, packaging, deployment, testing and more through PHP scripts. It is cross-platform and supports features like running tasks in parallel, filtering files, transforming data and extending functionality through custom tasks and extensions. The document demonstrates how to write Phing build scripts and utilize core tasks and functionality like file selection, property handling, conditionals and more.
Nobody wants to work in a large ball of mud that becomes harder to manage as time goes on. Proven software architectures tells us to break the system into more manageable components that are isolated from each other.
Years back (before Composer) in symfony1 era we had a single SVN repository, that required a lot of discipline to keep our codebase decoupled and clean. After migrating to Symfony 2 we broke the project into more manageable components that were in separate Git repositories. Unfortunately it quickly became a huge overhead and nightmare to deal with.
We learned the hard why that all the benefits come from having isolated packages not breaking things into separate repositories.
Now we have a single Git repository, again. This isn't a bad idea; to my knowledge Facebook, Twitter, and Google all have a big monolithic source repos but we needed a solution that works for a lot smaller fish :)
With a little help, Composer made this possible for us - so you can have your cake and eat it too!
Best Practices in PHP Application DeploymentShahar Evron
An overview of the challenges in managing the web application development lifecycle and how a correct deployment system can help. A few common deployment techniques are reviewed. In addition, some info on an upcoming Zend Server deployment feature.
Keeping external libraries current and organized can be a tedious and risky task. Converting those libraries from embedded inside a codebase to being included via Composer is a clean and efficient solution. Learn how to migrate and autoload those libraries, use the composer.json and composer.lock files, find new libraries, and run Composer commands. Use what you learn to clean and organize your codebase to make it easier to maintain, and more lean and better to work with.
Package management and creation in Gentoo LinuxDonnie Berkholz
This talk is designed for developers and users of other Linux distributions to gain an understanding of the Gentoo approach and philosophy to package management. The goal isn't to get people using Gentoo but rather for attendees to walk away thinking about how they might be able to apply that to their own distributions or other projects.
We'll cover how the package manager (Portage) works, what packages (ebuilds) look like, our focus on ease of use for package authors, how we've iterated on our package format over time, etc.
Gentoo Linux, or Why in the World You Should Compile EverythingDonnie Berkholz
Gentoo Linux is a special flavor of Linux that can be automatically optimized and customized for just about any application or need. Extreme performance, configurability and a top-notch user and developer community are all hallmarks of the Gentoo experience.
As a leader of Gentoo, I will provide an overview of how it works from a developer's and a user's point of view, and why you should be running it especially if you're:
- In need of an awesome development environment;
- Interested in learning what's inside the black box of Linux;
- OCD about having a perfectly configured setup; or
- Building an embedded, minimal system or a high-performance cluster.
If there's interest, I can also talk about future developments on the horizon for Gentoo, package management in general, etc.
This presentation was given as a Workshop at OSCON 2014.

The quest for global design principles (SymfonyLive Berlin 2015)Matthias Noback
If you’re a programmer you make design decisions every second. You need to think, and often think hard, about everything. Luckily there are many useful design principles and patterns that you can apply. But some of them merely expose code smells. Others only help you design your classes. And some are applicable to packages only. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some more general, always useful, invariably applicable, foundational design principles? In this talk we’ll look at software from many different perspectives, and while we’re zooming in and out, we’ll discover some of the deeper principles that form the basis of proper object-oriented design. After attending this talk you will be able to make better design decisions by reflecting on the stream of messages that is flowing from object to object, and from application to application.
Replacing dependents with doubles is a central part of testing that every developer has to master. This talk goes over the different types of doubles and explains their place in testing, how to implement them in a mainstream mocking framework, and which strategies or doubles to use in different message exchange scenarios between objects.

Si le tdd est mort alors pratiquons une autopsie mix-it 2015Bruno Boucard
Si Michel-Ange avait été développeur quels auraient été ses secrets. Quelle était la posture de cet artiste ? Quelle place occupent nos modèles mentaux lorsque nous développons ? La notion de design émergent qui accompagne les approches test-first (TDD, BDD,…) peut rendre plus d’une personne sceptique. En effet, comment concilier nos intuitions et projections mentales avec cette approche a priori minimaliste et contre-intuitive ?
L'ABC du BDD (Behavior Driven Development)Arnauld Loyer
Une introduction au Behavior Driven Development, avec plein d'idées pour tout de suite! et applicable à tout projet. Il sera question:
* de passer de l'incompréhension à savoir qu'on ne sait pas
* des westerns spaghetti aux Three Amigos,
* de reléguer le Comment au second plan pour laisser sa place au Pourquoi!
* de rendre des spécifications exécutables
* de découvrir qu'un concombre n'est pas qu'un Cucurbitacée aux feuilles tri-lobées
* d'automatisation comme outil de non-regression
Au cours de cette session, nous expliquerons ce qu'est le BDD. Nous verrons qu'il n'est pas question d'outils ou de tests, mais de collaboration et de discussion entre les différentes parties prenantes: du métier aux développeurs en passant par les testeurs. Cette presentation s'adresse à l'ensemble de ces populations en expliquant l'importance qu'il y a à se comprendre, et qu'il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir des outils sophistiqués pour avoir des bénéfices immédiats.
Nous verrons quelques pratiques de discussion qui permettent d'arriver à une meilleure compréhension et à une description du besoin. Nous verrons aussi comment des exemples concrets permettent de s'assurer d'une compréhension commune et comment ils permettent de construire un langage unique et non ambigu. Nous verrons comment rendre ces spécifications executables en réutilisant les exemples construits précédemment et en les automatisant. Ceux-ci viendront renforcer les tests d'acceptance et devenir des tests de non regressions. Enfin, nous verrons que cette démarche nous permettra d'avoir une documentation vivante et toujours à jour de notre système.
Idées pour tout de suite
Communication, Clarification par des Exemples concrets, Spécifications exécutables
PhpSpec is a SpecBDD tool that enables you to use a TDD workflow that can transform the way you write PHP. In this session we will look at the TDD workflow and see how PhpSpec can be used to speed up your development; add regression safety, and improve your object-oriented design.
The Wonderful World of Symfony ComponentsRyan Weaver
Wow, Symfony Components!
In this talk, we'll look at the history of PHP, and the struggles as a community to create shared libraries between our large community. Find out the significance of PSR-0 and Composer in *your* life and how you can leverage libraries from all of PHP in your projects.
We'll also look at the most fundamental Symfony2 components - HttpFoundation, HttpKernel, EventDispatcher, & Routing - including those that have been adopted by Drupal 8. We'll also check out a bunch of the other interesting Symfony2 components that can be used as tools in any PHP project.
The goal of this talk is to show you just how easy finding and using high quality libraries has become in PHP. By the end, you'll be excited and ready to high-five all of your PHP friends.

OSMC 2009 | Nagios Plugins: New features and future projects by Thomas Guyot-...NETWAYS
Nagios-Plugins is the official plugin distribution for Nagios. It includes over 50 plugins written in C and Perl for most basic monitoring tasks. It is currently maintained mostly by volunteers; the current active developers are: Ton Voon (project lead), Holger Weiss, Matthias Elbe and Thomas Guyot-Sionnest.
In this talk Thomas will look into some noteworthy features added recently in the Nagios-Plugins distribution and show how they can be useful in real-life situations. He will especially emphasize on the extra-opts addition which allows moving plugin parameters to one or more .ini files. In a second part Thomas will introduce the current and upcoming projects for Nagios-Plugins.
The Web is a vital part of our daily lives, and as we begin using the Web for tasks traditionally performed on the desktop, such as word processing, software as a service (SaaS) and software + services models are becoming more important. Web developers are caught in the cross hairs of these merging industries. They have the know-how of web development but, often, none of the skills for traditional desktop or mobile development.
Enter Titanium. Appcelerator Titanium is an open source platform for developing native desktop and mobile applications using the web technologies you're already familiar with. Now, web developers can use their skills to develop for both the Web and desktop/mobile platforms. Ben Ramsey will demonstrate how to create a simple application in Titanium Desktop, showing examples using JavaScript and PHP working together in the Titanium run time environment to power dynamic desktop applications that communicate easily with external web services.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

1. Automation Using
Phing
rajat_pandit@ipcmedia.com
Sunday, 20 June 2010
2. What is phing
• Phing Is Not Gnumake
• Its a project build tool
• Based on Apache Ant
• Cross Platform (Runs everywhere php
works)
• Lots of projects using it (Propel, Xinc,
symfony, prada)
Sunday, 20 June 2010
3. No compiling involved,
so what does it build?
• Automation of non-development tasks
• Configuring
• Packaging
• Uploading to remote servers
• Testing
Sunday, 20 June 2010
4. More automation...
• Run unit tests for you and publish
reports
• Build API Docs
• Package and / or install PEAR
packages
• Environment Setup
• App Configuration
Sunday, 20 June 2010
5. More automation...
• setting up permissions
• environment setup
• app config
• basically anywhere you can script,
you can use phing
Sunday, 20 June 2010
6. Other Alternatives
available
• Quite a few options available:
• ANT, Rake, NAnt
• Why Phing then?
• Dev already familiar with the language
• You can embed php straight in your build
script
• Custom extensions are easy to write
• Works across platforms, small footprint
Sunday, 20 June 2010
7. Phing: Basics
• Task: Built in custom piece of code to
perform a specific function
• Target: Grouping of tasks to perform
a more general function
• Project: Root node of build files
containing one or more targets
Sunday, 20 June 2010
9. Phing: Selecting a bunch
of files
• <fileset> is used to represent a
bunch of files to do stuff with
• Many tasks support <fileset>
<fileset dir="/foo"
includes="**/*.html"
excludes="**/test-*" />
<fileset dir="/bla">
<includes name="img/${theme}/*.jpg" />
<includes name="js/*.js" />
• </fileset>
Sunday, 20 June 2010
10. Phing: Fine tuning the
selection
• You might need to fine tune your file
selection further:
• Filter on date range?
• Filter on file size
• Type (File or Directory)
• At a particular depth
Sunday, 20 June 2010
12. Phing: Filesystem
Transformation
• <mapper> element adds filesystem
transformation capabilities for tasks
that support it e.g. <copy>, <move> etc
<copy todir="/tmp">
<mapper type="glob" from="*.php" to="*.php.bak" />
<fileset dir="./app" includes="**/*.php" />
• </copy>
Sunday, 20 June 2010
13. Phing: Filesystem
Transformation
• Other kind of mappers present:
• Flatten Mapper: Gets base filename
• Regex Mapper: Changes filenames
based on regular expressions
• Merge Mapper: change all source
filenames to the same name
Sunday, 20 June 2010
14. Phing: Data
Transformation
• <filterchain> is used to transform the
contents of the file. Supported by many tasks
like <copy>, <move> etc
• Can perform various actions:
• Strip comments from your files
• Replace values in your file

Functionalities
• Two ways to extend Phing:

solution)
• Write your own class to provide any of the following
functioanlity:

• Type
• Selector
• Filter
• and more...

/**
* The setter for the attribute "message"
*/
public function setMessage($str) {
$this->message = $str;
}
/**
* The init method: Do init steps.
*/
public function init() {
// nothing to do here
}
/**
* The main entry point method.
*/
public function main() {
print($this->message);
