"Re-thinking Namespaces: How Co-Location Can Make Us Better Engineers"

For many years now, a common pattern in PHP is to organize your classes and files by archetype. But as a project grows (and grows, and grows) you may find that you’re jumping all over the place to work on a single feature. In fact, you may even find it hard to locate or figure out where all the related pieces of your feature are at. In this presentation, TJ Draper will show you the way forward with co-location. And we find that as we apply these principles, we actually learn to think differently about our software and how it’s put together. And that can tend to make us better software engineers, which is a goal we all share!

Parking: There are a few spots to the side and rear of the building, but please *do not* park in the church parking lot. (They have a sign warning you. It’s hard to miss.) You’re welcome to park anywhere else. After 5pm, street parking is usually easy to find, especially along Magnolia Blvd.
