Managing Test Users in Facebook

February 7, 2011

PHP, Tools

Recently Facebook implemented a new and more secure way of creating test users for your applications using the new Graph API. This new resource creates test users per application, allowing the developers of these apps to login as these users and test out their app’s functionality without using their own accounts and throwing test information into their live activity feed, this makes it very easy and clean to test new applications.

Problem solving technique #1: Taking a mental break

February 4, 2011

Development, PHP

Developers are modern day artists whose masterpieces are not hung on walls but stretched out thin on web servers all over the world, yes that is very poetic, but I really try to look at developers as artists and puzzle solvers. To become better developers your skill-set must include creativity and problem solving skills and of course a artistic touch.

Using the Facebook PHP-SDK to run FQL

Development, Pessoal/Off-topic, PHP, Tips and Tricks

As of Facebook’s migration to the new Graph API and its OAuth 2.0 protocols, I can say that their Developer documentation has become a confusing, misleading and generally unstrung pile of semi-deprecated articles, and I’m being optimistic in doing so. Problem is lots of old articles are still in there pointing to old practices and recommendations and most of these do not come with disclaimers pointing to new recommendations, and in some extremes old soon-to-be-deprecated methods do not even have equivalents in the new APIs.

Como a Microsoft esta facilitando o desenvolvimento com PHP

January 6, 2011

Desenvolvimento, Empresas, PHP

Recentemente tive a oportunidade de conversar bastante com a Microsoft, junto com outros membros da comunidade PHP. Fomos recebidos por Josh Holmes (Evangelista de Arquitetos / EUA) e Rogério Cordeiro (Evangelista de Desenvolvedores / Brasil) na sede da Microsoft aqui em São Paulo, e fomos encaminhados ao auditório onde iniciamos uma conversa informal, mas muito interessante, por algumas horas. A ideia básica por trás da visita: nos mostrar algumas de suas novas ferramentas e receber um retorno e opiniões do que nós desenvolvedores pensamos de suas ferramentas, o que falta, o que esta quebrado e como arrumar.

How Microsoft is making PHP Development easier

December 9, 2010

Companies, Microsoft, PHP

Recently i had an opportunity to have a chat with Microsoft, along with a few PHP community members. We were greeted by Josh Holmes (Architect Evangelist / US) and Rogerio Cordeiro (Developer Evangelist / Brasil) at the Microsoft HQ in São Paulo and headed over to a auditorium where we started off a informal but very interesting talk for a few hours. This was the basic idea behind the visit: to show us a few of their new tools and get feedback from what we developers think or their tools, what is missing, what is broke, how to fix it.

So over the next few weeks this space right here is going to be seeing lots of changes. This is just a warning that any broken links should be ignored over these weeks and will be promptly migrated to the new structure, but changes might take some time to go around.

Review: The Art of Community - Jono Bacon

August 11, 2010

Books, PHP, Reviews

cover

I must confess that Jono Bacon actually caught me by surprise. While I was following the creation process of the book (O’Reilly invited UG leaders to send feedback) I could have never imagined I would one day have something so useful for someone who deals with communities on a day to day basis. In this universe Jono is a well known figure, with vast experience in managing and participating in online communities, which credits him as a perfect candidate to write a book like this one.

Devo confessar que Jono Bacon me pegou de surpresa, ao acompanhar o processo de criação do livro jamais imaginei que teria em mãos um material tão útil para quem lida com comunidades virtuais no dia a dia. Jono é figurinha marcada dentro deste mundo, com vasta experiência em gerenciar e participar de comunidades virtuais, o que faz dele realmente um excelente candidato a escrever um livro como este.
