Steven Wade presents Modelception: We Need More Layers (@UpstatePHP)

We're doing MVC wrong - let's change that. Applications aren't as simple as three letters, their complexity requires creative solutions and proper abstractions. The model isn't a single class, it's an entire layer. Let's peel back the layers to reveal what types of abstractions and patterns we might find within the model layer and how they can make our code cleaner, more isolated/decoupled, and more testable.

UpstatePHP meets on the 3rd Thursday of every month at 6 PM at OpenWorks in downtown Greenville SC. We post our events to this Meetup account, share them through our Twitter (https://twitter.com/upstatephp?lang=en) and the HackGreenville Slack account in #events (https://hackgreenville.com/join-slack).

Our events start with a meet and greet, where dinner will be provided by one of our sponsors. Generally we will start a talk or multiple lightning talks around 6:30 PM or so.
