NordTech - PHP Meetup

We’re excited to host our first NordTech event in Berlin on September 29.

This time, it’s all about PHP and our approach to effective software development in a hybrid work environment. Catch three of Nord Security’s developers sharing insights on testing (including black-box), Scrum, and API security. We’ll be sure to save time after each talk for a short Q&A with our speakers.

Important - If you can’t make it, sign up anyway, as we’ll share the recording afterward.

Agenda:
6.30 PM - Doors open, beverages and snacks

7.00 PM - Welcome

7.10 PM - Talk 1: "Tests are not useless!" with Pavlo Mikhailidi
To test, or not to test, that is the question. In the 21st century, a lot of people still don’t know all the benefits of testing. So let’s talk about the beauty of automated tests and how they can make your life easier.

7.40 PM - Talk 2: "Scrum sucks" with Oleksii Ustenko
For many developers, Scrum is an unpleasant and annoying process that steals precious time from the development itself and distracts from more important tasks. Let's talk about what could be done to change that narrative and use Scrum for its actual benefits.

8.10 PM - Talk 3: "Securing your API using Cryptography" with Dovydas Bespalovas
An introduction to basic cryptography concepts and how to increase API security using cryptography in practice.

8.40 PM - Food, drinks, and chatting

10.00 PM - Doors close
