Build Native Mobile Apps with PHP: Live with the NativePHP Founders

Join Orlando PHP and OrlandoJS as we connect, live via video, with Shane Rosenthal and Simon Hamp, co-founders of NativePHP, a framework that brings native desktop app development to PHP and Laravel developers.

NativePHP builds real iOS and Android apps, bundling PHP with your app and lets it run inside a Swift or Kotlin (mobile) or Electron (desktop) shell.

You can also build macOS, Windows, and Linux applications using Laravel AND your existing PHP workflow. Best of all, yes, you can use JavaScript, too!

You'll learn what you can build today, where the project is heading next, and can ask questions directly to the NativePHP creators!

Later that night, we'll hear Rahul Ghosh:
For today’s student developers, stepping into the AI era means embracing constant change.
Being flooded with new AI tools and headlines every week while adapting to a shifting job landscape has shaped a new generation of student developers: Generation AI. This talk takes a deep dive into how this generation works, learns, and builds — revealing what every developer can adopt from this mindset, along with common pitfalls to avoid.

We'll have food and drinks to enjoy with social and networking opportunities.
