AustinPHP In-Person + MergePHP Online: Multi-Value Indexes and Static Analysis

For this month's meetup, we're back in person! We'll be at Atmosphere's location downtown on Congress this time around; thanks to them for hosting us on our first time back since COVID started (ignoring collaborations with Longhorn PHP Conference).

If you can't make it out in-person, we'll be streaming the meetup as part of MergePHP, so you can tune to the Live Stream here. Checkout our YouTube channel while you are there.

This time around, we have not one but two great talks: Speeding up JSON queries with MySQL Multi-Valued Indexes by Daniel Abernathy and Type Safety and Compilation Checks: How Static Analysis Can Benefit Your Team by Hunter Skrasek. Read on for more info about each.

Make sure to share our event on social media, by boosting us on Mastodon (@merge@phpc.social) or retweeting us on Twitter (@mergephp).

Lightning Talk: Speeding up JSON queries with MySQL Multi-Valued Indexes

Multi-Valued Indexes are a feature released in MySQL 8 which lets you index an array of values per row - perfect for improving queries that rely on certain JSON functions.

Daniel Abernathy is a senior web developer who has worked with PHP and JavaScript for over 10 years. He is currently enjoying writing code with Vue.js at QAD Redzone.

Talk: Type Safety and Compilation Checks: How Static Analysis Can Benefit Your Team

Numerous technologies exist for creating web applications, with PHP and JavaScript being the most prevalent. Their dynamic typing and runtime execution capabilities allow for a seamless transition from prototype to finished product. However, as apps grow in complexity and significance in our everyday lives, the absence of type safety and compilation checks might be felt. In this presentation, we will explore the concept of static analysis and its potential to enhance your team's software development process.

Hunter Skrasek is a Software Architect at Modernize Home Services and has been a software engineer since 2014. He has been using PHP, the Laravel framework, and containers for the last five years to enhance and expand the lead generation and marketing operations. When Hunter is not at work, he is either in charge of the Laravel Austin meetup or planning the next Longhorn PHP conference.
