DPC Day 1

Friday, June 13. 2008

Well, its a misleading title because the day is only half over but the Dutch PHP Conference 2008 is well and truly underway! Today I've been in the Zend Framework tutorial given by Matthew Weir O'Phinney, which is a full-day session. Its been excellent - with some concepts, some examples, and now a real working application to take a look around and learn from. I've had to work with ZF a little bit lately and I wish I'd been able to have this tutorial before I did that!

I've been able to catch up with a lot of people since arriving late last night and making the mistake of not going to bed until late because I wasn't tired (still on UK time) and then having to get up early today! Tonight we have an Ibuildings employees event which will be great, I'm excited to put faces to names for all my colleagues - the downside of the telecommute is that I mostly know people on Skype or IRC and not in real life. Later on there is a pre-conference social as well (from 8pm) - which is why my day is only half done :)

Looking forward to tomorrow, when there will be a phpwomen stand upstairs outside the main hall, we'll be giving out shirts (they're white this year) so if you want one then come and get it! Tomorrow at 2pm I'm giving my talk "PHP Deployment with Subversion" which looks like it will be well attended. Oh and its Worldwide Knit In Public Day as well so I'll be attempting to fit that in as well!

Dear Lorna,

I’m looking forward to attend your presentation tomorrow. I hoop we will be able to interview you (we are from www.bachelor-ict.nl and from Nerdtv.nl)

Good luck tomorrow!

I hope the Dutch were at the conference and not watching the football?! Well done to them.

Hiya LornaJane,

All the best for the Dutch Conference – sounds like Zend is worth a look!

I’ll be WWKIPing too :)

Take care,
Kathy

Using a HTTP Error code doesn’t stop you serving up a custom error page. In fact thats the best way to do it. People who visit with a web browser will be none the wiser, but anyone that needs to programatically find out what the server responded with can. And if you’re serving up an API err [...]

I don’t use errors codes at all. Custom error pages with description what is happened and recommendation what user need to do – it is my way. Keep in mind not all users can understood error by number and less of them will know what to do.

shangxiao: my manager is geeky enough that he’d know perfectly well what I was talking about if I used a 4xx code at him :)

I gather most js libraries will now provide an error handler for 4xx and 5xx, which is quite handy to know whether to display an error dialog. I also use 4xx for when client errors eg when a db constraint fails, I respond with a 4xx and put the error message in the body of the response. For [...]

Gaetano: I quite like having the version in the URL but that depends a lot on what kind of service you designed as to what makes most sense. I like major.minor as a naming scheme but it is probably overkill as really APIs shouldn’t be changing a lot. Chris: Whether you support multiple ver [...]

@Gaetano My preference is put version in the URL. This gives you some flexibility on whether to completely branch off and have a new set of API code, or to simply pass the version in as a parameter. The only scary part about this is that there are now multiple versions of the same API tha [...]
Gaetano about Version Parameters for Web Services

Interesting post, but more detail would be welcome: – is it a good idea to put version nr. in url, so that new versions of the same webservice can be immediately located? – is using the classic major.minor.revision versioning scheme a good idea or is it overkill? – shall both clients and se [...]
