02 MAY 2018 Hello, Cloud enthusiasts! This month, we've got something for the "time is money" crowd. Vikram Vaswani's new two-part tutorial series shows you how to use IBM Cloud, PHP, and MySQL to build a simple time-tracking tool that enables professionals to bill on an hourly basis. Part 1 describes how to initialize a cloud-based database instance and connect a local PHP app to it, and how to add and modify records on the cloud database instance using the Slim framework. Part 2 builds on those concepts by showing you how to link time entries with projects and generate summary reports, and then transfer your final PHP app from your local development environment to the IBM Cloud. You'll be up and running in no time flat. And for those of you with a little more time to spare, you'll find a whole bunch of helpful cloud development resources in the listings below.
