he's using wireshark to sniff the http request, on his mac

Giving an overview of REST architecture. Fairly basic stuff so far.

that's how i reversed engineered plurk's calls

rockin' the telnet for HTTP requests. wooot

even telnet for PUT -he's hard core. Helps with understanding what's happening.

yea. urlencode everything, calculate the content length, bla bla

I'm getting ideas for json output formats for the unl events calendar.

could be very useful for pulling ldap and active directory information...

peoplefinder.unl.edu/ser...

no documentation.

need to update this page www1.unl.edu/wdn/wiki/Pe...

he's covering some important aspects of REST design, noting supported methods etc. Pretty good content in this presentation

hmm, I'm not impressed by his PHP. No OO code at all.

maybe this is just scrap/example code.

his code was very ick

"hmm, I'm not impressed by his PHP. No OO code at all." brett, you are starting to talk like a java programmer!

"I couldn't find a PHP library that would let me change the http method" ?? pear.php.net/package/HTT...

oh ok. that's lame of him. even i know that.

same functionality as the perl http::request lib

brett, to be honest, imho pear kind of sucks. lots of potentially good packages don't have proper docs.

meh, source code & api docs are more useful to me than end user docs that don't explain anything

the one example now that i'd give would be formbuilder. really nice... but docs are hideous.

yeah FB has bad docs. It's so package specific though... some have excellent docs

PEAR2 will require end user docs before a package can go stable.

yea. maybe. but people expect documentation. pear is just a jumbled mess.

s/pear/open source/

maybe it is just PHP. i'm starting to feel that the PHP docs are no longer useful. they were. once upon a time

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

whoah whoah --- php.net has one of the best manuals of any language I've seen

although, compare them to some msdn docs... the bad php docs look like gold

man, you guys sure bitch a lot about the free software you want to use

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!

i'd fix it if i knew what the heck some of the functions/methods did.

pascal FTW!!!

assembly!

prolog baby

seconds ryanlim on formbuilder. steep learning curve
