The document contains code snippets demonstrating basic PHP syntax including variables, arrays, conditional statements, loops and functions. It also shows examples of including external files, making API requests, and writing/reading CSV files. The code retrieves tweet count data from Twitter APIs and writes it to a CSV alongside URL data from another file.
You must’ve heard of Unit testing… If not, then this talk is definitely for you! If you do know Unit testing, you probably ran at some point into a hurdle: “Where do I start?” And despite your best efforts, you end up not having enough tests for your application – Then that change request comes in, requiring you to change that very same complex piece of code for which you are lacking tests! How do you going refactor while maintaining all those ‘undocumented’ business rules? This talk will show how Codeception can be leveraged to refactor the visuals aspects of an application, maintaining backwards compatibility on API changes and even assist in moving to a whole different server infrastructure.

Back in the ’40s, Samuel Eilenberg and Saunders Mac Lane started developing an entire new branch of mathematics: Category Theory. This was 10 years after Lambda calculus and 10 years before Lisp. Mathematics offers a powerful and concise language; we can represent a lot of complexity with short equations like E=mc2.
This session will explore how programming can harness maths’ capacity for conciseness and expression, borrowing from Category Theory. We’ll discover algebraic data types that can impact the way we code tremendously. You’ll also learn about functors, monads, applicatives, semigroups and monoids and how they can be used in a PHP context.

Perfect Starts: How to Get the Right Traffic with a Content AuditMichael King
Mike King's Authority Rainmaker presentation about how to perform the world's greatest content audit using quantitative and qualitative research techniques.
This is a simple Powerpoint to use to introduce text features. Students will need access to a variety of books or articles as they view the presentation.
This is a "PHP 201" presentation that was given at the December 2010 Burlington, Vermont PHP Users group meeting. Going beyond the basics, this presentation covered working with arrays, functions, and objects.
Slides from my talk at the GTA-PHP Meetup Group about getting mixed HTML / PHP code into objects using SOLID principles.
Meetup page: http://www.meetup.com/GTA-PHP-User-Group-Toronto/events/230656470/
Code is on github: https://github.com/zymsys/solid
Type hints were introduced with PHP 5. PHP 7 will add the ability to type hint on scalars and even to explicitly state what type will be returned from the function. This talk briefly goes over these added features to PHP 7.
Your code sucks, let's fix it - DPC UnConRafael Dohms
How do you measure the quality of your code? Performance and testing are just one aspect of code, in order to meet deadlines and make maintenance quicker you also need your code to be readable, decoupled and generally easier to comprehend and work with. This talk will go over tips and exercises to help you identify trouble areas, refactor them and train you to write better code in future projects. Come make your code look and function better.

iPullRank Webinar - Automated Testing For SEO With Hamlet BatistaMichael King
Welcome to iPullRank's Webinar featuring Hamlet Batista to discuss the topic "Automated Testing for SEO."
With so many cooks in the kitchen on any development project, it’s incredibly difficult as an SEO to know everything that is going on to troubleshoot what could go wrong.
Automated Testing is a way to put some safeguards in place so that if anything new in your code is rolled out, it doesn’t break something that previously existed in the code, like some previous functionality or something to that effect.
In this webinar, we will be touching on important topics such as:
-- What is automated testing and why is it important
-- The different types of automated testing
-- Different automated testing tools
-- Expert insights by Mike & Hamlet

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.
As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
