Burn down your keyboard - get the most out of your PhpStorm

by Patrik Karisch

PhpStorm is a great and almighty IDE. It has plenty of features and plugins, but if you don't get familiar with all the shortcuts and features it will slow you down. In this workshop I will demonstrate all the useful shortcuts and how to create new live templates which saves you plenty of keystrokes, encourage you to use good settings and how to share them with your team, and recommend the best plugins. After the workshop, you should definitely feel a productivity boost working with PhpStorm and should be able to concentrate on your code and not hassle with the IDE anymore.

workshop

Running PHP in Docker containers

by Marek Matulka

Docker lets us run applications in isolated containers as a process on the host machine. As a result, it uses less resources and requires minimal setup. In my workshop, attendees will learn how to use Docker as a development platform for any PHP project. From building custom base images, to orchestrating the environment setup with docker-compose. From testing the code with different PHP versions, to testing with different software packages.

workshop

Lightning fast tests

by Jakub Zalas

One of the benefits of having an automated test suite is the feedback given when the code is being changed. As the project grows, the test suite becomes slower and slower every day, until it’s so slow it stops being useful. Tests are disabled, skipped and finally removed. A huge part of the problem lies in getting the testing pyramid wrong and putting too much effort into the wrong type of testing. Learn how to structure your project to benefit from lightning fast tests. Apply the right amount of testing on appropriate levels and run your tests in seconds, not hours.

Using Behat and PHPSpec for emergent design with ubiquitous language

by Florian Klein

Using simple tools to design apps that respect the ubiquitous language all while improving isolation, decoupling, and testability. Hands on with some real life scenarios that we’ll implement all together.

workshop

Writing API clients with HTTPlug

by David Buchmann & Márk Sági-Kazár

PSR-7 defines common interfaces for HTTP requests and responses but the libraries that need to send HTTP requests need more than that. HTTPlug defines an interface for HTTP clients and provides adapters for existing clients like Guzzle, as well as a plugin system operating directly on PSR-7. This tool chain allows building API clients that do not depend on a specific HTTP client at all. This workshop by the two of the main authors of HTTPlug will cover: * Working with PSR-7 request and response * Using HTTPlug and the MessageFactory * Bootstrapping clients explicitly or with Puli * Using the PHP-HTTP plugin system * Strategies for writing an API client.

Let's play a game: No extends \o/. Advanced OOP with Symfony 3

by David Jegat

Curious about enhancing your OOP skills? Tired of being coupled to Symfony/Doctrine? With this simple game we will force ourselves to discover various emergent patterns just by banishing the extends. It starts with the controllers, the forms, the repositories, and goes on. Don’t be scared. We’ll just have to go deeper into the components we used in Symfony 3.

workshop

Clean code

by Tobias Schlitt

You want a more maintainable and extensible source code? Future projects should already be developed in this way? "Clean Code" forms the basis to achieve that. This talk gives an introduction to the clean code principles and shows how clean code can be introduced into your projects step by step. As an attendee, you should bring some code from one of your current projects. Ideally, you can run that code on your notebook but this is not a hard requirement. Most importantly, you need some real world code to look at. 

17:00 - 18:00

workshop

Forms in Symfony 3

by Bernhard Schussek

Forms are an ever-lasting topic in web development. Building them by hand is time-consuming. Building them with a library requires a library that is flexible enough to cover the many different use cases you will encounter. Symfony provides such a library that is proven and mature: The Symfony Form component. This workshop will teach you how to use version 3 of this component to build forms and combine them with a beautiful domain-driven design.

workshop

The framework is dead, long live the framework

by Bruno Škvorc

It is said developers go through four stages: 1. No framework 2. Use a framework. 3. Write own framework. 4. No framework. Once the cycle is complete, the developer is said to be ready. In this workshop, we'll go for stage 3, but replace it with stage 4. In other words, we'll explain how to build our own framework, but from third party components, thus being immune to breaking changes, vendor lock, and other negative side effects of using popular frameworks.
