    he's using wireshark to sniff the http request, on his mac
  • saltybeagle says
    Giving an overview of REST architecture. Fairly basic stuff so far.
  • ryanlim says
    that's how i reversed engineered plurk's calls :-P
  • saltybeagle says
    rockin' the telnet for HTTP requests. wooot
  • saltybeagle says
    even telnet for PUT -he's hard core. Helps with understanding what's happening.
  • ryanlim says
    yea. urlencode everything, calculate the content length, bla bla
  • saltybeagle says
    I'm getting ideas for json output formats for the unl events calendar.
  • daugustine says
    could be very useful for pulling ldap and active directory information...
  • saltybeagle says
    he's covering some important aspects of REST design, noting supported methods etc. Pretty good content in this presentation
  • saltybeagle says
    hmm, I'm not impressed by his PHP. No OO code at all.
  • saltybeagle says
    maybe this is just scrap/example code.
  • daugustine says
    his code was very ick
  • alvin says
    "hmm, I'm not impressed by his PHP. No OO code at all." brett, you are starting to talk like a java programmer!
  • alvin says
    oh ok. that's lame of him. even i know that.
  • saltybeagle says
    same functionality as the perl http::request lib
  • ryanlim says
    brett, to be honest, imho pear kind of sucks. lots of potentially good packages don't have proper docs.
  • saltybeagle says
    meh, source code & api docs are more useful to me than end user docs that don't explain anything
  • ryanlim says
    the one example now that i'd give would be formbuilder. really nice... but docs are hideous.
  • saltybeagle says
    yeah FB has bad docs. It's so package specific though... some have excellent docs
  • saltybeagle says
    PEAR2 will require end user docs before a package can go stable.
  • ryanlim says
    yea. maybe. but people expect documentation. pear is just a jumbled mess.
  • ryanlim says
    maybe it is just PHP. i'm starting to feel that the PHP docs are no longer useful. they were. once upon a time
  • daugustine says
    I agree, the php docs have regressed to being not very useful in some cases, they used to be great, don't know what happened
  • saltybeagle says
    whoah whoah --- php.net has one of the best manuals of any language I've seen
  • daugustine says
    although, compare them to some msdn docs... the bad php docs look like gold
  • saltybeagle says
    man, you guys sure bitch a lot about the free software you want to use
  • saltybeagle says
    take a look at all the commits I've made to peardoc - your complaints are falling on deaf ears. If you don't like it, fix it!
  • ryanlim says
    i'd fix it if i knew what the heck some of the functions/methods did.
  • alvin says
    pascal FTW!!!
  • ryanlim says
    assembly!
  • evilpythagoras says
    seconds ryanlim on formbuilder. steep learning curve
