PHP Professional Training

By order of dynamic webpages and phpzertifizierung.eu (both german) I gave three trainings, which I just finished. The topics included: "Regular expressions", "Testdriven development with PHPUnit" and "Image creation". The slides are online now and can be found in my portfolio.

All of the tutorials lasted two hours and I just finished the last one some minutes ago.

• Regular expressions

  After an introduction into the basics of regular expressions, I also cover the extensions in PCRE, up to the very new stuff, like recursion and conditional sub patterns. At the end I repeat the learned and build an expression for URLs wtogether with the listeners.

• Testdriven development with PHPUnit

  In the slides I present the basics about the test driven development model and then show, how you could write simple tests with PHPUnit, using the new features like the group and dataProvider annotations. After that the talk covers the MockObjects extensions, Selenium and Continiuous Integration.

• Image Creation

  In this talk I present different image formats, from vector based formats to bitmap formats, show the different libraries and create and explain an abstraction layer, which unifies all the different stuff in a simple API and makes the creation of images easier.
