One of our core missions is to grow a friendly welcoming community of PHP developers. By hosting this meetup at KDG Hogeschool we hope to reach a lot of students and let them, even before their career starts, feel the benefits of a belonging in a programming community.

We have two seasoned speakers lined up. Hannes Van De Vreken, Developer Advocate at Stream, will be talking about how to do code reviews well. Our very own Freek Van der Herten from Spatie will be sharing how their dashboard works behind the scenes.

TALKS

Building a dashboard with Laravel, Vue and Pusher by Freek Van der Herten (https://twitter.com/freekmurze)

On the wall mounted TV in our office a dashboard is displayed. At a glance we can see what the current tasks for each member of our team are, which important events are coming up, which music is playing, ... and much more.

In this talk I’ll explain how we leveraged both Laravel and Vue to build the dashboard. After demonstrating the dashboard itself we’ll take a deep dive in the code. We’ll take a look at the entire flow: the grid system, how events are broadcasted using Pusher, some cool Vue mixins and much more. After this talk you’ll be able to setup your own dashboard using our open sourced code.

Speaker: Freek is a partner and developer at Spatie, an Antwerp based company that specializes in creating Laravel apps. The company has an open source first mentality and has released over a hundred packages. When not coding Freek is probably rehearsing with his kraut-rock band.

Length: 45min

Code review beyond code style by Hannes Van De Vreken (https://twitter.com/hannesvdvreken)

Reviewing code can feel like a secondary task. Discussing code can be easy though, if you leave out syntax details. Following a couple of guidelines for pull requests can make code reviewing much easier.

Some code style rules can drastically reduce the mental overhead needed to understand code changes. Furthermore this talk will give some general guidelines on how to give feedback on PRs as a peer developer or coworker. These rules are not to keep for yourself, share them with your peers and your life will get easier.

Speaker: Software Engineer & Developer Advocate at Stream, and also a marathon runner.
