Cooking with Credentials

Learn something interesting while you have a great time connecting with the fabulous PHP Community!

There are many different ways to authenticate users to your application in PHP land. This talk will take a deep look into at least three different patterns for user authentication to keep your system secure. Everything we'll be doing is password-focused, moving from the simplest methods to the most complex. We will only discuss actually-secure PHP authentication, but presenting multiple approaches will give you and your teams superb flexibility when your move from theory to implementation.

Join us as we learn from Eric Mann; a storyteller and outdoorsman from the Pacific Northwest. When I'm not working with new tech in web and software development, you can probably find him out running, climbing, hunting, or hiking in the woods.

He is also a seasoned web developer with experience in languages from PHP to JavaScript to Scala to C#. He has been building websites and applications of all shapes and sizes for over a decade and continue to experiment with new technologies and techniques.
