I had a lot of fun giving this talk for the virtual PHP user group,
Nomad PHP. What I love about this group is that it’s open to everyone, wherever and whoever you are. They hold events in varying timezones to reach as many people as possible – and if that still doesn’t work for you, then you can always sign up to receive the video later.
This talk covers both concepts and code, walking through the real nuts and bolts of putting together both a frontend and backend, both built in PHP with Slim framework. It is accompanied by a GitHub repo of sample code and instructions on how to use OAuth to make the logging in step easy.
I’ll also be giving this talk at a couple of other events this autumn, PHPNW and ZendCon
When @netmag asked me if I could write down just enough git to allow someone to get involved in open source, I jumped at the chance. Even better, they improved my felt-tip-pen diagrams and created something that is both useful and pretty! The article walks you through, getting the code you want to work on, keeping up with an evolving project, and some tips on how to create a great pull request that will get accepted and make you an open source contributor.
