Re: Dockerize Commands for Ease of Use — Chris Tankersley — PHP Jack of All Trades

Rob... — Sun, 04 Jun 2017 05:31:44 -0000

For anyone else who comes across this post...

With

alias composer="docker run --rm -u $UID -v $PWD:/app -v ~/.composer:/root/.composer composer/composer"

I'm getting this error message: "Cannot create cache directory /composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, or directory is not writable. Proceeding without cache"

However,

alias composer="docker run --rm -u $UID -v $PWD:/app -v ~/.composer:/tmp/.composer -e COMPOSER_HOME=/tmp/.composer composer/composer"

works as expected.

Yep - we'll do a 4.0 for that though :)

The main thing to consider is that when you use a framework in your project, you want to spend your time writing the application, not fixing things because the framework changed things. It doesn't help that most people don't have a comprehensive test suite in place, so if the framework makes a subtle behaviour change, then you may not notice it until it's in production and reported by your users. Now you have a broken website.

In general, bumping the version because of a breaking change is fine, but if we released Slim 4 in March, Slim 5 in May & Slim 6 in July where each version required you to rewrite your application, how many users do you think we'd have in August? Frameworks exist to make a developer's life easier, not to create work for them.

Roddy,

Inserting and updating are a case of filling in the create() and update() methods in your resource. Within these methods you can use:

$inputFilter = $this->getInputFilter();
$data = $inputFilter->getValues();

To retrieve the validated and filtered data that has been configured in the Fields tab of the admin system.

With the release of Yosemite, the zoom button has been renamed, so you now need to shortcat search for ".full" for "fullScreenButton"

I have updated this article to be current with Apigility 1.0 stable.

Ilya,

The main reason was to show other options. Of course, as all of ZF2 is available, TableGateway, etc is available to be used.

Re: Collecting Speaker Tips…

Rob... — Sun, 05 Jan 2014 03:05:14 -0000

Some things that come to mind:

* Understand your talk before you open Keynote/PowerPoint/Impress. Mindmaps /outlines on paper or in text editors work wonders for the clarity of the points you are making when you actually come to deliver the talk.

* Set the audience's expectation of what level your talk is aimed at in the abstract and at the beginning of the talk.

* For any talk less than an hour or so, the audience will remember three things. i.e. don't try to cover too much.

* As David says, practice your talk out loud. Can't stress this one enough. It's the only way to know where the talk doesn't flow quite right and give you an idea of its length.

* The audience cannot listen to you and read the words on your slides at the same time. Limit the number of words on the slides.

* You can only get 10 or so lines of code onto a slide.

* Projectors have less contrast than monitors; nobody can see pastel colours on a projector.

* Face your audience.

* I agree with Erik: don't read your slides to the audience (unless it's a quote).

* Have a backup copy of your presentation in PDF format for when your computer won't work with the projector.

* You will sound different to yourself when using a microphone.

* Pause to collect your thoughts. Half a second of silence feels like an eternity to you but goes by in an instant for the audience.

* There are many books worth reading. I like Confessions of a Public Speaker by Scott Berkun a lot.

Me too! It's the only view I use as I like to have Evernote and another window side by side.

On the flip side, I took advantage of the current sale price and upgraded to the Mac AppStore version. I think that the Mac AppStore is a very nice distribution system and am glad that I've moved Acorn to it :)

Congratulations Matt!

I'm looking forward to see what you release going forward. I'm at the very start of the journey with my first Mac App Store release which is a sideline to my day-job. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll "go indie" too!

Regards,

To complicate matters further, the Olympus PEN series is interesting. Especially the E-PL1

Martin,

I don't see any SQL injection vulnerability issues. It would be the responsibility of the code handling user input to ensure that the data was fit for use by the User class.

I agree with the rest of your comment though :)

In a shared environment, I would use htaccess to redirect all possibly domain addresses to a single canonical one and then use that as the APPLICATION_ENV using a putenv('APPLICATION_ENV='.$httpHostName); in index.php.

I think that the "..." is better than the other two too. The arrow one is clearly related to sending the selection somewhere

At least "..." clearly shows people that there's more things you can do.
