Learning PHP 7

Learning PHP 7: Learn the art of PHP programming through this example-rich book filled to the brim with tutorials every PHP developer needs to know

One has to be humble enough to start from the beginning when he really wants to learn a language.

I’ve read half of it and I discovered that most of the practise that are suggested as “high quality” standards are the mandatory default in Eiffel

 

Exiting the ivory tower

From “Web Development with Bootstrap 4 and Angular 2 – Second Edition”

In one moment of compilation, a TypeScript compiler can generate a declaration file which contains only signatures of the exported types. The resulting declaration file with the extension .d.ts along with a JavaScript library or module can be consumed later by a third-party developer. You can find a vast collection of declaration files for many popular JavaScript libraries at:

• The DefinitelyTyped (https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped)
• The Typings registry (https://github.com/typings/registry)

I’m so glad I bought this ebook. No DRM and this little gem to help me implement an actually usable Eiffel to JavaScript/WebAssembly compiler where with “actually usable” it means coming with batteries, i.e. binding for foreign libraries. Without them any effort is doomed.
