Introduction to Codeigniter Ed Finkler • • @Funkatron Codeworks09 Thee Agenda Introduction to CodeIgniter Ed Finkler • http://funkatron.com • @funkatron codeworks09 Thee Agenda Why CodeIgniter? The CI MVC Model CI Basics Running CI out of the box Making a basic web app Making a web api http://www.flickr.com/photos/alternatewords/2332580309/ Why CodeIgniter? Why not CakePHP or Zend Framework or Limonade or Symfony or Solar or Kohana or Zoop or Yii or Akelos or PHP on Trax or Prado or Seagull? Because you've gotta pick one, dammit All of them have value That being said, CI is… Easy to understand Simple doesn't require advanced OOP Doesn't force lots of conventions Plays well with others Quick to get up and running Good docs and great community Backed by invested entity (http://ellislab.com) CodeIgniter MVC Implementation More like "Passive View Pattern" Controller View Model http://short.ie/5o7eg4 CI application flow Stolen from CI user guide App components Front controller Helper Routing Plugin Security Scripts Controller View Model Caching Library Front controller index.php Routing http://domain.com/index.php/controller/method/param class Search extends Controller { public function single($id) { // [...] } } Security Filtering or blocking unsafe input Controller <?php The core of everything class Site extends Controller { "Heavy": you could do function Site() { parent::Controller(); everything in controller $this->load->library('session'); } public methods are function index() { // mletters model is auto-loaded available as actions from $rows = $this->mletters->getMany(10); URL $data['rows'] = $this->_prepData($rows); $this->load->view('index', $data); } private methods prefixed function _prepData($rows) { with “_” // do some cleanup on the data… } ?> Model ActiveRecord pattern available, not required Query binding $sql = "SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE id = ? AND status = ? AND author = ?"; $this->db->query($sql, array(3, 'live', 'Rick')); Don't like the DB layer? Use something else Zend_DB, Doctrine, DataMapper (http://bit.ly/ datamapper), IgniteRecord (http://bit.ly/igrec) … Library A class designed to work on related tasks Helper Procedural funcs, grouped by file Mostly for views; available in controllers /** * Plural * * Takes a singular word and makes it plural * * @access public * @param string * @param bool * @return str */ function plural($str, $force = FALSE) { // [...] } Plugin Single procedural function More extensive functionality than helper $vals = array( 'word' => 'Random word', 'img_path' => './captcha/', 'img_url' => 'http://example.com/captcha/', 'font_path' => './system/fonts/texb.ttf', 'img_width' => '150', 'img_height' => 30, 'expiration' => 7200 ); $cap = create_captcha($vals); echo $cap['image']; Script Other scripts the CI app might use View Build response to client CI Views are limited Uses plain PHP as templating lang <?php foreach ($rows as $row): ?> <li class="letter"> <div class="body"> <h3>Dear Zend,</h3> <p><?=$row->body?></p> </div> <div class="meta"> <div class="posted"> <a href="<?=site_url('/site/single/'.$row->id)?>">Posted <?=$row->posted?></a> </div> <div class="favorite">Liked by <?=$row->favorite_count?> person(s). <a href="<?=site_url('/site/favorite/'.$row->id)?>">I like this</a> </div> </div> </li> <?php endforeach ?> View Optional template markup $this->load->library('parser'); <html> $this->parser->parse('blog_template', $data); <head> <title>{blog_title}</title> </head> <body> <h3>{blog_heading}</h3> {blog_entries} <h5>{title}</h5> <p>{body}</p> Want a heavier template lang? {/blog_entries} Use one. </body> </html> Caching Saves response to file Serves up file contents if cache not expired CI Basics http://www.flickr.com/photos/canoafurada/395304306/ CI File Layout front controller index.php points to system and application folders system application base classes & app-specific classes built-in functionality & functionality CI File Layout default layout CI File Layout custom layout only index.php is under document root The CI Object $this inside controllers The loader $this->load->{view|library|model|helper|etc}('name'); CI Out of the box The Welcome App Put CI on the server Load it in the browser Why does Welcome load?

  • Design Pattern Interview Questions
    DDEESSIIGGNN PPAATTTTEERRNN -- IINNTTEERRVVIIEEWW QQUUEESSTTIIOONNSS http://www.tutorialspoint.com/design_pattern/design_pattern_interview_questions.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com Dear readers, these Design Pattern Interview Questions have been designed specially to get you acquainted with the nature of questions you may encounter during your interview for the subject of Design Pattern. As per my experience good interviewers hardly plan to ask any particular question during your interview, normally questions start with some basic concept of the subject and later they continue based on further discussion and what you answer: What are Design Patterns? Design patterns represent the best practices used by experienced object-oriented software developers. Design patterns are solutions to general problems that software developers faced during software development. These solutions were obtained by trial and error by numerous software developers over quite a substantial period of time. What is Gang of Four GOF? In 1994, four authors Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides published a book titled Design Patterns - Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software which initiated the concept of Design Pattern in Software development. These authors are collectively known as Gang of Four GOF. Name types of Design Patterns? Design patterns can be classified in three categories: Creational, Structural and Behavioral patterns. Creational Patterns - These design patterns provide a way to create objects while hiding the creation logic, rather than instantiating objects directly using new opreator. This gives program more flexibility in deciding which objects need to be created for a given use case. Structural Patterns - These design patterns concern class and object composition. Concept of inheritance is used to compose interfaces and define ways to compose objects to obtain new functionalities.

  • 1 Introducing Symfony, Cakephp, and Zend Framework
    1 Introducing Symfony, CakePHP, and Zend Framework An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come. — Victor Hugo WHAT’S IN THIS CHAPTER? ‰ General discussion on frameworks. ‰ Introducing popular PHP frameworks. ‰ Design patterns. Everyone knows that all web applications have some things in common. They have users who can register, log in, and interact. Interaction is carried out mostly through validated and secured forms, and results are stored in various databases. The databases are then searched, data is processed, and data is presented back to the user, often according to his locale. If only you could extract these patterns as some kind of abstractions and transport them into further applications, the developmentCOPYRIGHTED process would be much MATERIAL faster. This task obviously can be done. Moreover, it can be done in many different ways and in almost any programming language. That’s why there are so many brilliant solutions that make web development faster and easier. In this book, we present three of them: Symfony, CakePHP, and Zend Framework. They do not only push the development process to the extremes in terms of rapidity but also provide massive amounts of advanced features that have become a must in the world of Web 2.0 applications. cc01.indd01.indd 1 11/24/2011/24/2011 55:45:10:45:10 PPMM 2 x CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCING SYMFONY, CAKEPHP, AND ZEND FRAMEWORK WHAT ARE WEB APPLICATION FRAMEWORKS AND HOW ARE THEY USED? A web application framework is a bunch of source code organized into a certain architecture that can be used for rapid development of web applications.

  • Student Website Setup
    MVC in JSF and Spring Overview @author R.L. Martinez, Ph.D. Complexity is one of the primary challenges that has troubled software developers from the inception of the discipline. Software systems designed to perform multifaceted tasks are by nature complicated. Furthermore, software complexity continues to increase as we ask systems to accomplish more. With that in mind, designers are regularly pursuing techniques and methods to help reduce, or at least control, complexity growth. One such approach is known as MVC or, Model- View-Controller. Model-View-Controller MVC has its origins at Xerox’s PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) during the 1970-80’s. While there, Trygve Reenskaug, a visiting researcher from Norway, along with others such as Adele Goldberg, developed the MVC pattern for conceptualizing user interface based programs. PARC was an active site at that time for other important developments such as the graphical pointing device (mouse) and Object Oriented Programming (OOP). The first published work dealing with MVC at length was a 1988 article in The Journal of Object Technology. In software development terminology, MVC is known as an architectural pattern. A pattern is a reproducible and reusable construct which appears often enough in computer science as to be recognized. Instead of solving the same problem in a variety of sub-optimal ways, a pattern attempts to overlay a design with a common architectural solution. Developers not only become familiar with its application, but can also more easily understand a solution that uses a familiar pattern. There are a number of popular web application frameworks that offer MVC architectures which include: ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, Zend Framework, Spring-MVC, etc.

This chapter will walk you through some of the most important concepts behind Symfony2 and explain how you can get started quickly by showing you a simple project in action. If you’ve used a web framework before, you should feel right at home with Symfony2. If not, welcome to a whole new way of developing web applications! Tip: Want to learn why and when you need to use a framework? Read the “Symfony in 5 minutes” document. Downloading Symfony2 First, check that you have installed and configured a Web server (such as Apache) with PHP 5.3.2 or higher. Ready? Start by downloading the “Symfony2 Standard Edition”, a Symfony distribution that is preconfigured for the most common use cases and also contains some code that demonstrates how to use Symfony2 (get the archive with the vendors included to get started even faster). After unpacking the archive under your web server root directory, you should have a Symfony/ directory that looks like this: www/ <- your web root directory Symfony/ <- the unpacked archive app/ cache/ config/ logs/ Resources/ bin/ src/ Acme/ DemoBundle/ Controller/ Resources/ ..

  • Appendix a the Ten Commandments for Websites
    Appendix A The Ten Commandments for Websites Welcome to the appendixes! At this stage in your learning, you should have all the basic skills you require to build a high-quality website with insightful consideration given to aspects such as accessibility, search engine optimization, usability, and all the other concepts that web designers and developers think about on a daily basis. Hopefully with all the different elements covered in this book, you now have a solid understanding as to what goes into building a website (much more than code!). The main thing you should take from this book is that you don’t need to be an expert at everything but ensuring that you take the time to notice what’s out there and deciding what will best help your site are among the most important elements of the process. As you leave this book and go on to updating your website over time and perhaps learning new skills, always remember to be brave, take risks (through trial and error), and never feel that things are getting too hard. If you choose to learn skills that were only briefly mentioned in this book, like scripting, or to get involved in using content management systems and web software, go at a pace that you feel comfortable with. With that in mind, let’s go over the 10 most important messages I would personally recommend. After that, I’ll give you some useful resources like important websites for people learning to create for the Internet and handy software. Advice is something many professional designers and developers give out in spades after learning some harsh lessons from what their own bitter experiences.
