About the Book

In early 2019, the PHP Framework Interoperability Group (PHP-FIG) released PSR-14, the Event Dispatcher specification. At the time I posted a long series of blog posts detailing PSR-14 in all its glory.

This book is those blog posts, collected into a single ebook format and lightly edited to fit better in book format. The blog posts are still available and will remain so, but this is for those that prefer their FIG in ebook format, or who want to support the work of FIG and Open Sourcing Mental Illness (https://osmihelp.org/).

OSMI is a non-profit organization that works to raise awareness of and research information about mental health challenges in the tech community. 50% of all royalties for this book are automatically donated to OSMI to support their vital work.

Changing how we talk about mental health in the tech community.
Open Sourcing Mental Illness is a non-profit, 501c3 corporation dedicated to raising awareness, educating, and providing resources to support mental wellness in the tech and open source communities. OSMI began in 2013 as a speaking campaign by Ed Finkler. Ed started speaking at tech conferences about his personal experiences as a web developer and open source advocate with a mental health disorder. The response was overwhelming, and Ed has continued to speak, gather data, and organize efforts to change experiences of those with mental health disorders in the tech workplace. This includes speaking at conferences and companies, conducting research, and creating documentation to assist companies in making supportive environments for those impacted by mental health disorders. He is assisted in these efforts by selfless volunteers who bring their time and expertise to bear on this important issue.
