How To Do A Positive Code Review

Meeting from 7pm for a 7:30pm

We'll be upstairs in the meeting room on the first floor.

Our sponsor, local digital agency Studio 24 (http://www.studio24.net/who/join-us/), is providing some free drinks. So head upstairs to find out how to get a drink and grab a beer/drink of your choice from the bar.

We also have a free copy of PHPStorm to give away, courtesy of our sponsor JetBrains (https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/).

How To Do A Positive Code Review

Do you dread code reviews? Do you dread running a code review? Do you find that they help, or simply find them a waste of time? Or maybe you simply find them a bit hit-and-miss?

The majority of folks in the PHP community don't have formal software engineering training, and they often don't have enterprise development experience, where code reviews are a common practice. That's a real shame, as code reviews are great for saving time and trouble when they're done positively.

After this talk, you'll go away armed with a three-point plan for running code reviews with your teams, and a whole heap of practices you can use to make sure your code reviews are something everyone wants to do.
