### 🗣 Peter Fisher - Code with confidence using PHPStan

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 versatility. 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?

## 💸 Event sponsoring

Long term support comes from our friends at SPATIE, the Belgian Laravel tooling factory and web agency. Go check out their great training course “Front Line PHP” to learn all about building modern applications with PHP 8 or visit their “[Myray.app](https://myray.app/)” for unprecedented debugging of PHP applications.

Infinite Opportunities (iO) is the rebranded name of our friends at Intracto. They have a new brand and want to share it with the world.

And we weren’t able to make these meetups possible without the help of IN2IT. We are super grateful to Michelangelo and his crew for providing logistical support in this endeavour 👏

Interested in becoming a sponsor at our next event? Send us an email to sponsoring@phpbenelux.eu and we’ll make it happen!
