In our November meeting, the topic will be REST!

Our speaker will be Marc Ypes, one of CakePHP’s core developers. He will guide us through the important parts of REST, like HTTP headers, caching, authentication and how we should handle them. We are also very excited to work together with this month’s host: Tweakers. Various members of their team have been active contributers to AmsterdamPHP and its great to finally visit their offices, they will of course be taking care of the food and beers!

Speaker: Freek Lijten
Freek Lijten is currently working as a developer for Procurios. He has been writing code professionally for almost 5 years and privately ever since his first encounter with BASIC. His special interests are software architecture and patterns.

Talk: “Improve Your Software with SOLID Code”
You might have heard of the acronym SOLID and the five principles it consists of. Sadly the concepts are very abstract and can be difficult to really understand, while they are so important to writing good object oriented code. This talk will not only deal with the theory behind SOLID and explain why SOLID is important. Better yet, we will be looking at code (lots of it!) and how it can be improved by applying one of the SOLID principles.
