Object-oriented programming is more than knowing how to write a class. It's a completely different way of thinking about how you build your applications. For those of us who have to make the jump from procedural to object-oriented programming, it can feel like you're re-learning how to code all over again. This episode will help... by getting you clear on what OOP is, what it's not and what you need to do to start "thinking OOP".

In my latest course, How to Create a Secure, PHP Session-Based Login Script, I got knee-deep in session-based login and all the different ways you can do it, security concerns and the like. So, I wanted to share with you the "guts" of any login script. What it actually means to be "logged in" and how to write a simple login script. Source code here: https://www.johnmorrisshow.com/242

Every element of every single thing a client sees about you... they're using it to evaluate whether to hire you or not. And, it's not good enough to just beat anyone else bidding on those same jobs. That's why so many jobs on Upwork go unhired. You have to first break the client's "will hire" threshold AND then beat out everyone else.Thankfully, there are 7 "Plus Principles" you can use to up your value in the client's mind, break through that threshold and get hired. We'll cover those in this episode.Show notes and sources: https://www.johnmorrisshow.com/241

A common problem in PHP is creating cryptographically secure tokens for user authentication. Think "remember me" and password reset features. Functions like rand(), mt_rand() and uniqid() simply aren't enough. And, without "resource-improbable" tokens... it's only a matter of time for a hacker to break your authentication and get int your application.Fortunately, PHP 5.6 and 7 have added the necessary functions for us to creating cryptographically secure tokens, prevent timing attacks and mitigate data hacks. That latest in all this in this episode.Show notes and sources: https://www.johnmorrisshow.com/240
