TALKS

"How We Got Here: A Brief History of Open Source"

Open Source is one of the core tenets of the PHP language and the community. PHP would not be here if it was not for some of the ideals around software development that occurred in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. How did the open source movement start, and why is PHP one of the few languages that still hold true to those early days of programming? Let’s talk about where open source started, find out how we got here, and where we are going in the future.

****************************************************

"Cleaning House with Doctrine"

All developers have roughly the same dream: To work on a green field project, ripe with opportunity. Most of us don't live that dream. We're trapped in the dank dungeon of a legacy codebase, being suffocated by thousands of lines of spaghetti code. Never fear! Doctrine2 Can help! With this talk I don't want to show you how to start from scratch and build a proof of concept. Instead we'll start in the middle of something kind of funky. The database schema isn't going to be perfect. The models aren't going to be well defined. There'll be logic all over the place. I'll show you how you can use Doctrine to migrate our domain towards one that is easier to reason about, test and maintain.
