Good developer experiences with Ben Ramsey
Details
Ben Ramsey is joining us to talk to us about the box of tools he uses on a daily basis.
Congratulations, and a big THANK YOU, to Ben for being a PHP 8.1 Release Manager. The PHP Internals podcast just published a podcast talking to the team at https://phpinternals.news/84. Did you know that this is a 3 year commitment? I did not!
Ben will talk about:
- some familiar tools, such as PHPUnit and PHP_CodeSniffer;
- new tools like PHPStan and Psalm;
- how to configure these tools for better workflows through Composer scripts and plugins;
- best practices;
- how to standardize workflow with CaptainHook and GitHub Actions.
Ben Ramsey is a coder, writer, and speaker. Recently selected as a release manager for PHP 8.1, he is an avid proponent of open source software and maintains several popular open source packages, including ramsey/uuid and league/oauth2-client. In his free time, Ben enjoys beer, bourbon, board games, and TTRPGs. He co-organizes the PHP user group in Nashville, where he lives with his wife, son, and two dogs. Ben will blog again one day soon at benramsey.com and is @ramsey on Twitter.
Ben came up here in 2015 and 2016 (can it be half a decade ago?) to speak at the True North Conference.
Virtual meeting URL to be announced.
Meet-up will be recorded.
