Pineco.de: Notify Locked Out Users in Laravel

On the Pineco.de blog they've posted a tutorial for the Laravel users out there showing how to notify locked out users making use of functionality already included with the framework.

Laravel offers a nice feature, that locks out the users that attempted to login too much. It’s a nice way to prevent brute force logins. But how can we notify the user, when the lockout happens? Maybe it wasn’t the user who attempted to log in.

The tutorial starts with the details on setting up the listener to capture the Lockout event and pass it off to a UserLockedOut class. Once this is created, they show how to use this class and, via the included "notification" system in Laravel, send an email to the user in question with more information about their account being locked.

php[architect]: It’s About Time

On the php[architect] site they've shared an article from their December 2018 edition by Colin DeCarlo and issues with dates and times that most developers deal with at some point in their careers.

As applications scale and gain adoption, dates and time become much more of a concern than they once were. Bugs crop up, and developers start learning the woes of time zones and daylight saving time. Why did that reminder get sent a day early? How could that comment have been made at 5:30 a.m. if the post didn’t get published until 9:00 a.m.? Indiana has how man time zones?!

Luckily, PHP developers have the tools they need to face these problems head-on and take back control of their apps.

The article covers some of the basics of "time" and some of the concepts that PHP uses to measure it. It then introduces the different time functionality that PHP offers including timestamps and functions like strtotime and date as well as the DateTime handling. They dig into this last one in more detail before talking about timezones and date arithmetic.

TutsPlus.com: How to Use AJAX in PHP and jQuery

The TutsPlus.com site has a new tutorial posted showing you how you can use PHP, jQuery and AJAX together to help make the overall user experience of your application better and more responsive.

Today, we’re going to explore the concept of AJAX with PHP. The AJAX technique helps you to improve your application's user interface and enhance the overall end user experience.

The post starts with an introduction to AJAX - what it is, how it's commonly used and how the normal requests flow. They then show how it works with normal "vanilla" Javascript (no jQuery) and how that compares to the jQuery version. It then dives into the real-world example script, showing how to create a form that sends login information to the backend for evaluation via a POST request.

Tomas Votruba: How to Complete Type Declarations without Docblocks with Rector

Following up on his prior post showing how to convert DocBlock comments to official type hinting, Tomas Votruba has continued the series with a new post showing how to do the same thing but without previously defined DocBlocks.

In previous post we looked at how to migrate from docblocks to type declarations. From @param Type $param to Type $param. Even if it doesn't break code like coding standards do, works with inheritance, localized self and static and propagates types to all child classes, it's still not such a big deal.

But how do you complete type declarations if don't have any docblocks?

After a "gloom and doom" start to the post, he circles back around and shows how PHPStan and Reactor can help with static analysis. After providing several examples of how the refactor should look, he shows how to set up Reactor for both return types and the migration of properties to their correctly typed versions automatically.

Nikola Posa: Better naming convention

In a new post to his site Nikola Posa takes a look at naming conventions in code and makes some recommendations based on his own work.

In the last couple of months, I spent a lot of time studying Proophessor Do demo project that showcases features of Prooph components, all with the aim of mastering CQRS/Event Sourcing concepts. Along the way, something else turned my attention away from the main topic - unconventional, but clean and concise naming convention for class and method names.

This was a true eye-opener for me, I immediately liked the idea and after adapting it a bit I started practicing it at work. Excited and full of enthusiasm, I shared my findings and opinions with the rest of the world.

He tweeted about his excitement but found that there was more to say and a blog post was the place to put it. So in this post he covers several "anti-patterns" to avoid in code naming conventions:

• Anti-pattern 1: Prefixes/suffixes convention for Interfaces
• Anti-pattern 2: Archetype suffix convention for domain classes
• Anti-pattern 3: "get" prefix convention for property accessors

He finishes the post with some final thoughts and a "TL;DR" image showing a "right" and "wrong" way to structure your code.

Avatrim – Green Tea Weight loss

Avatrim is a loss product that can not be bought in stores. There is an exclusiveness to this product that I will mention later but for now I would like to detail how you really can successfully lose with Avatrim.

First of all I would like to just point out that just like you when I first heard about Avatrim I got it confused with all of those spams that we get about Anatrim and this definitely turned me off. I am a fitness expert and there are a pile of products on the market that make all sorts of promises of easyweight loss. Most of these loss products are just uppers that will raise your metabolism and can lead to heart problems. When my wife first saw Avatrim I had to be skeptical, let’s face it with all of the junk on the internet today I was really worried that she had found another scam.

When I looked through I could see that Avatrim was not a scam. First of all this product family that is based on high quality green tea sources has been shown to be a powerful metabolism enhancer as well as cutting your appetite.

Avatrim Benefits

Another strong benefit of Avatrim is the fact that Avatrim is not just a bottle of pills. The company that has created this product has made sure that there is an established eight year old fitness and loss program as well as other bonuses. Having this kind of established track record proves to me that this is a successful and established program.

Lastly Avatrim has a built in 100% money back guarantee as well as a PHONE number that you can call with any questions. When I look for successful products online I am very aware of how a company does business and having a smooth online online business is very easy, having an online business that works well though is more difficult and these guys seem to do things right.

How Avatrim works

Research by Japanese and other researchers suggest that if the average person were to drink five cups of green tea a day, they would burn an extra 70 to 80 extra calories through an effect known as thermogenesis – the process of heat production in organisms.While much of the thermogenesis effect in green tea is derived from caffeine, studies also suggest(2) that thermogenesis in green tea occurs to some degree beyond its caffeine content from epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG.)

So this magical EGCG works in Green tea and the compressed green tea of Avatrim to increase your metabolism as well as the caffeine to help you lose weight.

Buying Avatrim Online

Now about the exclusivity of this Avatrim product. Avatrim is only sold online and it has to be that way. Most loss products have a huge markup which is fine for cheaply made products with almost no testing. Avatrim is a product that uses high quality sources of green tea and other compounds so the product is expensive to make. You can bypass the middleman and buy it right through the links on this page and will not need to have to go through various levels of distribution. Just order online and it will come to your door.

I must say as you probably notice, I am a big believer in Avatrim and all of the great things that Avatrim can do in raising your metabolism while at the same time reducing your appetite so that you can confidently lose without having to worry about binging and sluggish energy.

One thing that I want to be very clear about and that is diet. Avatrim is not a wonder drug for loss, instead Avatrim is a supplement to a good diet and exercise program. Use this Avatrim along with your regular vitamins to help you lose weight,

Try Avatrim out today and make sure that you take advantage of the two free bottle offer that I just saw on their site.
