Living in a shell
Are you living in a shell? No, I am not asking if you are a Ninja Turtle or a Mollusk, but that your work and fun is based in a computer shell and command line. If you call the CLI your home or if you want to move to CLI town to work more efficient, then I want to show you some lesser known but incredibly helpful or fun tools you can use in your Linux or MacOs shell - to make it feel more homely, and maybe to become a Ninja after all
Embeddings - the lesser known Hero of AI
How does ChatGPT know what you mean when you enter a question? The answer are Embeddings. Here I will show you what Embeddings are and how you can use Embeddings in your own PHP applications. This is a more extensive primer on Embeddings with lots of examples and food for thought
Building a semantic, AI-Driven search for our Website
I will show how to use existing tools and APIs to index an existing run of the mill CMS database and make it searchable by intention and semantics and not (merely) by keywords. There will be a primer on what embeddings are, and the used tools introduced so newcomers can follow, but then we dive into indexing data, building queries and searching the site. The tools used will be plain PHP and Redis.
Why you should use the Event-Dispatcher Pattern more often
The event-subscriber pattern, formalized for PHP in the PSR-14 Event Dispatcher framework - is a valuable programming pattern that can save you time and money. Let me show you how to use it, where to integrate with some real world examples and learn along the way how you can make your code more powerful and flexible by having it easier to maintain and refactor. Not PHP exclusive, the pattern works in other languages as well.
Fun with the GitLab API and PHP
Do you wish sometimes you could directly talk to Gitlab through your favorite programming language (which is PHP of course)? Then this talk is for you. I want to show how you can use the gitlab api to automate things, and integrate updates, workflows and informations from Gitlab in your applications. No git-binary required!
