SydPHP - September 2019 Meetup @ ELMO

Please join us for our September 2019 meetup @ ELMO.

-- Scheduled Talks --

Ask the developer - all the aspects of the job besides tech :: Hung Gia Dien

"In this talk, I will talk about my experience regarding working as a developer, and that how you should be doing more than just focusing on the core technical aspect of writing code - such as preparation groundwork, tools to use for UX focus, and so on."

My Quest for Test Doubles in Unit Testing :: Imthiaj Habib

"This talk is about my quest for test doubles in the PHP ecosystem. I will cover the context, motivation and the misconceptions around this topic, the types of test doubles, some golden rules around the test doubles' usage, and will share some gotchas and considerations when using them."

Optimise MySQL with EXPLAIN :: Szasza Palmer

Szasza Palmer is a Data Engineer and Software Architect at OneAffiniti (oneaffiniti.com) and the main organiser of SydPHP.

"Many applications are powered by a MySQL database, but not all of them are optimised properly for maximum performance on query level.

In this talk I will talk about how to analyse query performance with the usage of EXPLAIN, and how to read the analysis' output, and how to convert it's results into actionable items."
