Recently I’ve been to the Laravel meetup and I had the pleasure to talk about good practices and common mistakes that newbies in Laravel do in the daily basis. We had also Guilherme Guitte’s talk who had spoken how elastic search work. Laravel the right way There are a few topics that I’ve been across over and over during my daily basis as a developer using Laravel. This bothers me because some of them are so easy to understand to use that I decided to divide it in a few topics and try to guide the developers to a better...

Recently I’ve been to Laravel meetup in São Paulo hold by iMasters coordinated by Ravan and Zizaco, both working for Leroy Merlin and using Laravel (of course). The meetup started with a really good introduction and interaction between the audience, thanks iMasters for the coffee-break. Usually the people who go to the meetup are known by the hosts. They were really comfortable with each other which I think is really good. The main goal of the meetup was to help newbies in Laravel(specifically in middleware). The first speaker(Igor Carvalho) started his talk. Middleware 4 Life His talk was a really...

Recently I’ve been around IoT with PHP and I made some small projects such as LED blink, sensor management and so on. Therefore I chose PHP to be my main language to dig into IoT’s world, for my surprise it was a tough decision. Unfortunately we have few libraries written in PHP to deal with I/O and this kind of components, at first it is normal the lack of content because PHP was built to be used in the web, therefore we can make it better. Here I’m going to use PHP to connect with Arduino and turn on a LED....

Recently I’ve finished my MBA in software engineering and as a result my group and I ended up with and tool for use case management. We were aimed to develop something that helps teams build a better software and we founded in requirements a gap to be fill. As usual in Brazil software development is a big issue (I’m specifically talking about Brazil because is my country and where I have experience) with impossible dead lines, crap documentation and bosses even worse. In resume software here is just a matter of money and doesn’t matter if you built it with quality...

Being able to write better is a achievement that every programmer want to. SOLID is a great thing to start to and particularly one of the best things to be followed by TDD. Single responsibility A class should have only a single responsibility (i.e. only one potential change in the software’s specification should be able to affect the specification of the class) [1] [2] [3]. <?php class Upload { private $file; public function __construct($file) { $this->file = $file; } public function validate($data) { // apply validation rules } public function moveFile() { // move file } public function rename() {...

Continuous PHP is a amazing CI tool which provides a easy and quick way to run tests and automate deploy, at some point of our application regardless of it’s field you will need a CI server to automate things to you and then comes Continuous PHP. I confess I used travis CI for a long time and jenkins as well but the problem with those tools is that no one is specifically for PHP projects. Jenkins is a great example of that to use with PHP we need to install a couple of plugins, Travis CI is more flexible with...

PHP has a great section about stream which is not used frequently by developers. Streams as the PHP documentation says: “In its simplest definition, a stream is a resource object which exhibits streamable behavior. That is, it can be read from or written to in a linear fashion” - php.net. In many cases streams are used  unconsciously when handling a file for example. <?php print file_get_contents('http://www.marabesi.com/my_file.php'); Look the code above where we are using the http:// wrapper. Wrapper is what we use to handle a stream in PHP and there are a couple of wrappers in PHP file://, http://,** ftp://,...

Recently I’ve heard about the death of TDD, but is it true ? Some argues that TDD is dead and who had used it in the past nowadays is not using anymore. Frequently I tried to follow all the rules of TDD when I’m coding but I have to confess, it is not easy. Though I do write unit test (and functional as well), sometimes without following the gold circle (Write the test first see it failing and then make it pass). How about the frameworks? The first thing I’d like to understand is why frameworks are worried about testing ?...

If you’re a programmer, analyst or something related to I.T (Information Technology) you probably already have heard about software engineering. What is that? What can engineering do for software? Great part of people who heard “engineering” thought about numbers, equations, formulas and crazy people. Therefore software engineering is about practices, techniques to build a great software with quality, security. maintainability and so on. Software engineering is the study and an application of engineering to the design, development and maintenance of software [1]. Software engineering is the study and an application of engineering to the design, development and maintenance of software [2]....

As we know the software nowadays exists to support the business rules and I believe that it is  a huge problem to programmers as well as everyone involved with software development. Basically as the business grow, the software might change as well but change isn’t the problem, it is the frequency. How can we deal with requirements today that change tomorrow? How can we guarantee our software quality? And the most important how can we delivery value? Value is something that the business just has after a software has been deployed in production. Often release to production is something to worry...
