PHP Patterns and Refactoring Training Course

This instructor-led live training in Australia (online or onsite) is designed for data scientists and software engineers who wish to use AdaBoost to build boosting algorithms for machine learning with Python.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Configure the necessary development environment to begin building machine learning models with AdaBoost.
• Gain an understanding of ensemble learning approaches and how to implement adaptive boosting.
• Learn how to construct AdaBoost models to enhance machine learning algorithms in Python.
• Utilise hyperparameter tuning to improve the accuracy and performance of AdaBoost models.

This course equips PHP developers with the vital skills needed to fortify their applications against modern internet-based threats. By utilising PHP-centric examples, the curriculum extends beyond the OWASP Top Ten to explore a range of injection attacks, script injections, vulnerabilities in PHP's session handling, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. PHP-specific vulnerabilities are categorised into standard fault types, such as inadequate or missing input validation, flawed error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- or state-related problems. For these latter areas, we examine attacks including open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via 'magic floats', and hash table collision attacks. In every instance, participants will become proficient in the key techniques and functions required to mitigate these risks.

A significant emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing vulnerabilities within JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course also introduces essential PHP security extensions, such as hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptography, alongside Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for robust input validation. Best practices for hardening PHP configurations (including php.ini settings), Apache, and the server environment are detailed comprehensively. Finally, an overview of various security testing tools and techniques available to developers and testers is provided, covering security scanners, penetration testing, exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both the explanation of vulnerabilities and the configuration practices are reinforced by numerous hands-on exercises. These demonstrations illustrate the impact of successful attacks, show how to implement mitigation techniques, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand the fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and understand how to prevent them
• Gain insight into client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices
• Develop a practical understanding of cryptography
• Learn to utilise various PHP security features
• Recognise typical coding mistakes and learn how to avoid them
• Stay informed about recent vulnerabilities within PHP frameworks
• Acquire practical knowledge of security testing tools
• Receive sources and further reading materials on secure coding practices

A wide array of proven patterns is readily accessible. Often, this simply involves adapting the terminology and applying the pattern within a particular technology stack. This approach can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be devoted to design and testing. Training Objectives This course has two primary goals: first, to enable you to reuse widely established patterns, and second, to assist you in creating and reusing patterns tailored to your organisation. It helps you to estimate how patterns can reduce costs, systematise the design process and generate a code framework based on your patterns. Audience Software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers and developers as well as operational managers and software division managers. Course Style The course focuses on use cases and their relationship with a specific pattern. Most of the examples are explained in UML and in simple Java examples (the language can change if the course is booked as a closed course). It guides you through the sources of the patterns as well as showing you how to catalogue and describe patterns which can be reused across your organisation.

This course is tailored for JavaScript developers who design and implement sophisticated Internet applications. The curriculum focuses on establishing best practices in JavaScript development while highlighting frequent pitfalls. A key emphasis is placed on exploring object-oriented programming techniques within the JavaScript syntax.

The recent evolution of microservices and containers has profoundly transformed how we design, develop, deploy, and operate software. Modern applications must be optimised for scalability, elasticity, resilience, and adaptability. Driven by these demands, contemporary architectures require a distinct set of patterns and practices. In this training, we explore methods to identify, understand, and adapt to these new requirements.

Audience
This training is designed for individuals who have some familiarity with container technology and Kubernetes concepts but may lack real-world experience. It is grounded in use cases and lessons learned from practical projects, aiming to inspire participants to create and manage even better cloud-native applications.

• Developers

As distributed systems have become increasingly intricate, the challenge has shifted from managing the complexity of individual systems to navigating the architectural complexity of interconnected system groups. This course explores the relationship between Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture. These two domains are deeply intertwined, yet their interaction is often inadequately articulated. For instance, decomposing a complex monolithic system into two separate systems that communicate via web services necessitates significant adjustments to both the new systems and the architecture connecting them.

This course will examine the trade-offs, widely adopted patterns, and solutions for managing complex systems and the communications within and between them.
