Composer for Dependency Management

We'll be having another online event! In celebration of Composer turning 9 this month, we'll start with an introduction to Composer for Dependency Management and then the community will have a chance to share their own tips for using Composer. These should be 5 minute demos

Those who share will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win and elePHPant! Anything that has to do with Composer is great! This could include: working with a framework or IDE, building your own package, working with legacy applications, etc.

Although it is not required, if you would like to get on the list to share a 5 minute demo of how YOU use Composer, please fill out this very simple form https://forms.gle/yBM8UbMtyNkgC89t6

Composer is a tool for dependency management in PHP. It allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on and it will manage (install/update) them for you. Additionally, we don’t need to burden our PHP code with countless “require” or “include” statements. Tonight, we’ll learn how the PHP autoloader works, how to write our own autoloader, and how to work with composer’s autoloading map. We’ll see exactly how to design our namespaces for PSR-4 compatibility so everything "just works".

Stay tuned for connection details!
