Do you have data and lists you keep having to massage to make it useful for your project? Have you heard of regular expressions but been frightened by the Klingon-looking examples? Fear no longer! I’ll demystify regular expressions and show you how best to do them in PHP. We’ll cover the syntax and functions that make PHP a great text-parsing language, and give you the foundation to learn more. As a bonus, I’ll give you two cases people often use as examples for regexes that PHP gives you better native ways to accomplish.]]>

You may know that queues can help with long-running tasks, but did you know they can help you make your application easier to debug, more performant, and scale in the cloud? Taking the real-world example of a contest app, we’ll see how easy queues can be to implement. You’ll see how the smart use of queues can enable your application to handle many more users with the same code, break components across servers, and help you keep your app responsive.]]>
