Online NWDUG March 2022: Code with confidence using PHPStan with Peter Fisher

With new projects starting on PHP 8 and the increasing use on data types and upgrades that PHP 8 brings, the use of static analysis has become increasingly popular. PHPStan has recently released version 1 which includes stricter checks and a pro version that offers more versitility. For new projects, the use of static analysis is a great tool to keep fresh code clean and conformative, but how can static analysis be used on legacy projects and how can PHPstan increase our confidence when building upon our code bases?

Peter Fisher is a UK based contract PHP developer. He has over 20 years experience writing PHP software for small to enterprise clients.
Peter is also the host of How To Code Well, a YouTube channel that has taught developers a wide variety of programming languages. How To Code Well has a live weekly podcast and Peter is a member of the live coders Twitch team.
