In the course of pushing a few of our "internal" components to the public, it is about time to release the current version of Adroit which is our "smart" (pun intended) ADR/PSR-7 middleware implementation.

Last week we open-sourced our DI container called Disco (Dependency Injection Container). The general feedback on Twitter was really good, especially since we decided to go down the "Annotation" route which a lot of people do not really like (me included). Relying on a single class for the configuration seems a bit limited but traits will come in pretty handy. Let me show you what I mean.

For years I speak at conferences about Dependency Injection. 5 years ago at pfCongres 2010, I started my speaking career with talking about Dependency Injection in the real world.

Prophiler is a PHP Profiler & Developer Toolbar which is part of the Phalcon project but can also be used as a stand-alone component, kind of like the Symfony Web Debug Toolbar or Z-Ray.

As it turns out there are not many options when it comes to running a Selenium node on a mobile device. So far selendroid.io seems the best solution but it never really worked in our Selenium infrastructure, so I was looking for an alternative and came across this website which shows how to use the Mobile Emulation feature of Chrome via Selenium. And this is how it works. Either define the name of the Mobile device as it is defined in Chrome:
