PHP Sussex | February 2020
Details
Join us for the first PHP Sussex meetup of 2020!
We have two talks planned. One from Dave Liddament and the other from our very own Rowan Tommins.
----
Dave Liddament will be delivering his talk 'PHP Generics Today (almost)'.
Ask PHP developers which big feature they wished PHP had and many would say generics. Hopefully one day they'll be implemented at language level, but what if we want them now?
This talk starts with a deep delve into generics and the benefits of them. We'll then look at how existing static analysis tools can be configured to (almost) give us generics in PHP now.
Dave is a director and developer at Lamp Bristol, a software consultancy. He’s been writing software commercially for over 17 years in many languages including C, Python, Java and PHP.
Dave is keen to pass on his knowledge. He speaks at conferences and user groups. He is an organiser of PHP-SW. He also runs a monthly workshop that covers topics including testing, CI and git.
He is also the author of an open source tool called SARB (static analysis results baseliner).
When not busy coding Dave enjoys scuba diving and running

Rowan's talk is 'l10n > t9n' (Localisation is more than Translation).
So, you've built a nice popup menu with flags that change "Buy Now" to "Kaufe Jetzt" or "Koop Nu" or a dozen other languages; you're ready to sell around the world! Maybe not... In this talk, we'll look at a few of the things you'll need to do to make your website or app truly international.
Rowan Tommins is a Senior Developer / Architect at Holiday Taxis, and co-organiser of PHP Sussex. It's been 20 years since he studied German, and he's never lived outside the UK, but he's fascinated by the variety of language and culture around the world.

As usual, we'll have a fridge full of beer, a smattering of soft drinks and a silly amount of Pizza Face to tuck in to.
See you there!
