1. Eugene Kenny @eugeneius Developer toolbox Six development tools that will give you fabulous secret powers
4. Technology on Adverts.ie • Graphite for stats and graphs • Varnish for load balancing, Pound for SSL • Composer for PHP dependencies
6. What I look at all day
7. Technology on some other site
8. What I would look at all day
9. What am I going to talk about? Overview of 6 tools (Boris, HTTPie, jq, terminator, MailCatcher and boom) Assumption: you work on either Linux or OS X, use the command line
10. Tool #1: Boris git clone git://github.com/d11wtq/boris.git boris/bin/boris Setup:
11. JavaScript console is a REPL
12. REPL: a big loop
13. php -a vs Boris > php -a php > $arr = ["Hello", "World"]; php > var_dump($arr); array(2) { [0]=> string(5) => "Hello" [1]=> string(5) => "World" } php > $arr[1] = "PHP" php > var_dump($arr); array(2) { [0]=> string(5) "Hello" [1]=> string(3) => "PHP" }
14. php -a vs Boris > boris/bin/boris boris> $arr = ["Hello", "World"]; array(2) { [0]=> string(5) "Hello" [1]=> string(5) "World" } boris> $arr[1] = "Boris"; array(2) { [0]=> string(5) "Hello" [1]=> string(5) "Boris" }
15. Loading your environment > boris -r bootstrap.php boris> $user = new User(); !object(User)#8 (1) { ["username"]=> NULL } boris> $user->username = "eugeneius" !string(9) "eugeneius" boris> $user !object(User)#8 (1) { ["username"]=> string(9) "eugeneius" }
16. Other nice features: • Remembers your command history • Will load .borisrc file in your home directory, which can contain arbitrary PHP code to run at startup • You can implement a custom Inspector, to control how values are printed
17. Tool #2: HTTPie sudo apt-get install python-pip pip install httpie Setup:
18. curl -X POST http://example.com \ -d arg=val -d foo=bar \ -H X-Api-Key:a0b0c0 \ -H X-Custom-Header:whatever http POST http://example.com \ arg=val foo=bar \ X-Api-Key:a0b0c0 \ X-Custom-Header:whatever HTTPie vs cURL
19. curl -X POST http://example.com -F arg=val -F file=@lolcat.jpg http POST http://example.com arg=val file@lolcat.jpg Uploading files http PUT http://example.com < lolcat.jpg curl -X PUT http://example.com -T file=@lolcat.jpg

50. Can we put them all together?
51. Can we put them all together? No. I'm not MacGyver.
52. Can we put them all together? No. I'm not MacGyver. But separately, these tools can each make you more productive.
53. Can we put them all together? No. I'm not MacGyver. But separately, these tools can each make you more productive. Together, they can make you a LOT more productive.
54. Questions? Even better: any tools I missed?
