    PHP 5 POEC – PHP 2017 1 Qu'est-ce que PHP ? PHP (PHP Hypertext PreProcessor) est un langage de programmation. Il s’agit d’un langage interprété et indépendant de la plate-forme d'exécution. Il permet de générer des pages HTML dynamiques. Il s’avère utile pour utiliser de ressources serveurs comme des bases de données. Une large communauté d’utilisateurs PHP existe. De nombreuses documentations et ressources sont disponibles. 2 Licence de PHP ? PHP est distribué via une licence propre qui permet sa rediffusion, son utilisation, sa modification. PHP est distribué librement et gratuitement. 3 Que faire avec PHP ? Des sites Web La partie serveur de tout type d’application : Application Web Application mobile Applications utilisables en ligne de commande (scripting) 4 Quelques technologies concurrentes à PHP • JSP : Java-Server Pages • Technologie de Sun • Semblable à PHP mais la partie dynamique est écrite en Java • ASP.Net: Active Server Pages • Produit de Microsoft • Contenu dynamique pouvant être écrit dans tous les langages de la plateforme .Net (les plus utilisés étant le C# et le VB.Net) • Le choix entre PHP, JSP et ASP.Net est plus "politique" que technique. 5 Intérêts d’utiliser PHP • Très populaire et très utilisé – Utilisé par des sites internet à très fort trafic tels Yahoo ou Facebook • Amène un certain nombre de personnes à améliorer le langage – Simplifie l’accès à de la documentation • Syntaxe simple à prendre en main (héritée du C, du Shell et du Perl) • Très portable (fonctionne sous Windows, Linux, Mac…) •

  • Rogue Wave Software Buys Israeli Co Zend Technologies
    Rogue Wave Software buys Israeli co Zend Technologies 07/10/2015, 12:18 Globes correspondent The sale was reportedly for considerably less than the $70 million that the Israeli PHP app company has raised. US company Rogue Wave Software has acquired Israeli company Zend Technologies , which offers end-to-end PHP web and mobile application development and deployment solutions. With 50 percent of the web workload running on PHP, including Magento, Drupal, and WordPress, Zend products drive PHP in the enterprise, from code creation through production deployment. Zend CEO Andi Gutmans and CTO Zeev Suraski founded the company in 1999, which is today headquartered in Cupertino, California and retains its development center in Ramat Gan. No financial details about the sale were disclosed but media reports suggest it was for considerably less than the $70 million that the company has raised to date. Rogue Wave CEO Brian Pierce said, “Today’s announcement expands Rogue Wave into PHP web and mobile application development, underscoring our goal to make developers heroes by accelerating their ability to create great code. With the addition of Zend, we now have products that speed C, C++, C#, Java, and PHP development, reflecting how software is created today across languages, platforms, and teams.” Gutmans said, “Our passion has always been about PHP users. When we founded Zend, we set out to make it easier for developers to use PHP to meet the demands of business development. We’re very happy to have a great match with Rogue Wave, from our shared commitment to customers and how we impact their software development lifecycle.

  • SED 1217 Transcript EPISODE 1217
    SED 1217 Transcript EPISODE 1217 [INTRODUCTION] [00:00:00] JM: WordPress is a free and open source content management system or CMS ​ written in PHP. Since its release in 2003, WordPress has become ubiquitous on the web and it's estimated that roughly 60 million websites use WordPress as a CMS. However, despite its popularity, WordPress has limitations in its design. WordPress sites are dynamic and the front and backend are tightly coupled. A dynamic full stack application can be used when handling complex functionality, but also slows down the site and opens up security vulnerabilities. Zeev Suraski is an expert in PHP. He's also the CTO of Strattic, which is a static site generator and hosting platform that specializes in converting WordPress sites into static architectures. Today's show focuses on PHP, but also has some discussion of WordPress architecture. Zeev joins the show to talk about the place of PHP and modern web development and how his company Strattic helps WordPress developers build modern, fast and secure websites. [INTERVIEW] [00:01:00] JM: Zeev, welcome to the show. ​ [00:01:02] ZS: Hi. Good being on board. ​ [00:01:05] JM: You were a very early PHP programmer, and I’d love for you to take me back to ​ the early days of PHP. What were the goals that the language set out to accomplish? [00:01:19] ZS: So, yeah, we're talking the late 90s, and basically then there were not too many ​ solutions for creating dynamic web applications. The goal back then was to create a language that is really simple and allows you to create dynamic web applications in a pretty straightforward way without too much complexity and to really take away not just the complexity in the language syntax, but also in setting up a backend solution.

  • Comparative Studies of Six Programming Languages
    Comparative Studies of Six Programming Languages Zakaria Alomari Oualid El Halimi Kaushik Sivaprasad Chitrang Pandit Concordia University Concordia University Concordia University Concordia University Montreal, Canada Montreal, Canada Montreal, Canada Montreal, Canada [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Comparison of programming languages is a common topic of discussion among software engineers. Multiple programming languages are designed, specified, and implemented every year in order to keep up with the changing programming paradigms, hardware evolution, etc. In this paper we present a comparative study between six programming languages: C++, PHP, C#, Java, Python, VB ; These languages are compared under the characteristics of reusability, reliability, portability, availability of compilers and tools, readability, efficiency, familiarity and expressiveness. 1. Introduction: Programming languages are fascinating and interesting field of study. Computer scientists tend to create new programming language. Thousand different languages have been created in the last few years. Some languages enjoy wide popularity and others introduce new features. Each language has its advantages and drawbacks. The present work provides a comparison of various properties, paradigms, and features used by a couple of popular programming languages: C++, PHP, C#, Java, Python, VB. With these variety of languages and their widespread use, software designer and programmers should to be aware

  • Chapter 3 – Design Patterns: Model-View- Controller
    SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURES Chapter 3 – Design Patterns: Model-View- Controller Martin Mugisha Brief History Smalltalk programmers developed the concept of Model-View-Controllers, like most other software engineering concepts. These programmers were gathered at the Learning Research Group (LRG) of Xerox PARC based in Palo Alto, California. This group included Alan Kay, Dan Ingalls and Red Kaehler among others. C language which was developed at Bell Labs was already out there and thus they were a few design standards in place[ 1] . The arrival of Smalltalk would however change all these standards and set the future tone for programming. This language is where the concept of Model-View- Controller first emerged. However, Ted Kaehler is the one most credited for this design pattern. He had a paper in 1978 titled ‘A note on DynaBook requirements’. The first name however for it was not MVC but ‘Thing-Model-View-Set’. The aim of the MVC pattern was to mediate the way the user could interact with the software[ 1] . This pattern has been greatly accredited with the later development of modern Graphical User Interfaces(GUI). Without Kaehler, and his MVC, we would have still been using terminal to input our commands. Introduction Model-View-Controller is an architectural pattern that is used for implementing user interfaces. Software is divided into three inter connected parts. These are the Model, View, and Controller. These inter connection is aimed to separate internal representation of information from the way it is presented to accepted users[ 2] . fig 1 SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURES As shown in fig 1, the MVC has three components that interact to show us our unique information.
