Getting Started With Php Frameworks @BCP5
Getting Started With Php Frameworks @BCP5Amit Kumar Singh The document discusses how to get started with PHP frameworks. It defines what a framework is and explains that frameworks provide common functionality that can be overridden by user code to provide specific functionality. Frameworks aim to reduce overhead in web development by handling common tasks like database interaction and presentation layers. The document advises studying the default behaviors and libraries of potential frameworks before choosing one based on factors like ease of use, extensibility and stability. It recommends building a sample application to become familiar with the selected framework and provides tips for getting help when facing difficulties.
Php Security
Php SecurityAmit Kumar Singh The document discusses various security issues that web applications face such as hacker attacks, denial of service, and server hijacking. It outlines best practices for PHP security including input validation, preventing XSS attacks, and using functions like escapeshellarg() when calling external programs to avoid SQL injection and arbitrary command execution. The overall message is that input should never be trusted and proper validation is needed to develop secure PHP applications.
CSS Lessons Learned the Hard Way (Generate Conf)
CSS Lessons Learned the Hard Way (Generate Conf)Zoe Gillenwater Zoe Mickley Gillenwater gave a talk at Generate Conference in London where she shared several mistakes she made while learning CSS flexbox and other techniques. These included misunderstanding how flex-basis works, incorrectly using CSS transforms like rotateX, and making assumptions about screen reader support that caused accessibility issues. She emphasized that vulnerability and sharing mistakes openly can help both oneself and others learn. Making mistakes is a natural part of the learning process, and perfection should not be expected or feared.
Images and Tables in HTML
Images and Tables in HTMLAarti P HTML allows images and tables to be inserted into web pages. Images are added using the <IMG> tag which specifies attributes like the image source URL, height, width, and alternative text. Tables organize data into rows and columns and use <TABLE>, <TR>, <TH>, and <TD> tags. Attributes control table properties such as borders, cell padding, alignment, column spans, and row spans. Captions can be added above or below tables using <CAPTION> tags.
Show vs. Tell in UX Design (Front in Amsterdam)
Show vs. Tell in UX Design (Front in Amsterdam)Zoe Gillenwater We’ve all heard these “laws” of design: “People don’t read on the web.” “If you have to explain how to use your product, you’ve failed.” “A picture is worth a thousand words.” It seems like our job as designers is to make things as intuitive as possible, using as few words as possible so that the meaning is self-evident through our visual design. But does this always produce the best user experience? Is showing always better than telling? We’ll look at several examples of design from the real world, the web, and apps that use showing, telling, or both as a method for producing the best UX. Rather than just assuming one is always better than the other, learn how to choose the right approach for your particular design problem and users.
Using Flexbox Today (Generate Sydney 2016)
Using Flexbox Today (Generate Sydney 2016)Zoe Gillenwater With solidified syntax and great browser support, flexbox, the CSS layout module that can make your layouts more flexible and responsive with ease, is finally ready to be used in your real-world work. We’ll talk about the when, what, and how of using flexbox today: when it’s a great choice use flexbox (and when not to), what UI and UX problems it can help you solve, and how to add it to your layouts in a robust way that doesn’t harm non-supporting browsers or accessibility. You’ll learn a step-by-step process for deciding on and deploying flexbox, with lots of examples along the way of flexbox in the wild.
Box Model
Box ModelAmit Kumar Singh The document discusses the CSS box model which defines how elements are laid out using properties like margins, borders, padding, height and width. It describes how different browsers like Internet Explorer previously calculated box dimensions differently than other browsers, sometimes causing broken layouts. It provides workarounds like box model hacks to avoid these issues and suggests best practices like cross-browser testing.
Bdd and dsl как способ построения коммуникации на проекте
Bdd and dsl как способ построения коммуникации на проектеISsoft This document discusses Behavior Driven Development (BDD) and Domain Specific Languages (DSLs). It defines BDD as a formalized approach to effective communication between project teams using behavioral specifications, backlog items, acceptance tests and a ubiquitous language. DSLs are described as computer programming languages with limited expressiveness focused on a particular domain. The benefits of DSLs include improved productivity by making code easier to read and understand and avoiding duplication. DSLs can also help communicate with domain experts by providing a language for their domain. Potential problems with DSLs include lack of experience using or developing them and not having resources for the time required.
Joomla Request To Response
Joomla Request To ResponseAmit Kumar Singh This document summarizes the request and response process in Joomla. It explains that when a request is made, Joomla loads the framework and initializes the application. It then fires the onAfterInitialise event, which is used by system plugins. It routes the request and fires the onAfterRoute event, then dispatches the request and fires onAfterDispatch. After rendering, it fires onAfterRoute which plugins like cache and SEF use. Finally, it sends the response.

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/
Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.
