TALKS

Taking care of backups with Laravel by Freek Van der Herten (https://twitter.com/freekmurze)

Thanks to all the excellent resources on server management many developers are now setting up and administrating their own servers. If you are one of them you can't count on anybody else but yourself to backup the data of your clients.

We'll cover the backup issues presented when using modern hosting such as Linode and DigitalOcean. Then we'll review some enterprise grade solutions. Finally we'll dive deep into implementing a backup system using Laravel 5's filesystem abstraction.

Speaker: Freek Van der Herten is a partner and developer at Spatie (https://spatie.be (https://spatie.be/)), a small Antwerp based company that specializes in creating web apps. After hours he writes about modern PHP and Laravel on his blog: https://murze.be (https://murze.be/). When not coding he's probably rehearsing with his kraut-rock band ( https://jarenduren.bandcamp.com/ ).

Talk length: +/- 30 min.

First Steps with Event Sourcing by Gabriel Somoza (https://twitter.com/gabriel_somoza)

In this interactive talk I'll share with you a simple app I've been building on my spare time as a way of getting hands-on experience with Event Sourcing. I will show how I modelled my domain using DDD principles, how I applied Event Sourcing and CQRS using the Prooph framework, Doctrine and PostgreSQL, and how I hooked that up to Apigility to provide a RESTful API.

Speaker: I’m Gabriel Somoza, a Belgium-based Technical Director and Web Architect.

I currently spend most of my time leading Strategery – a boutique web development company that specializes in building high-quality e-commerce stores and web applications. I’m also a Zend Certified Engineer (http://www.zend.com/en/store/education/certification/yellow-pages.php#show-ClientCandidateID=ZEND023200) and Magento Certified Developer Plus (http://www.magentocommerce.com/certification/directory/dev/49594/).

When I’m not working I spend time with my beautiful wife, travel, and do some research to broaden my skills.

Talk length: +/- 40 min.
