7:30PM Wrap up

Talk 1: Data-Driven Testing

Description

The talk will focus on a systematic way to approach testing problems and survey strategies for generating test cases. Experience in the trenches suggests the approach tends to be a good fit for legacy codebases and rapid prototyping.

Keywords: table-based testing, property tests, test case generation, automated testing.

Speaker - Brent Rich

Brent is an Senior Software Engineer on Bigcommerce's Omnichannel team, working across PHP, Go and Scala on a daily basis. He has been developing eCommerce products in San Francisco since 2012.

Talk 2: Building a REST API with Authentication in Laravel 5.4

Description

Creating, Reading, Updating and Deleting records are fundamental for almost every web application. Laravel makes speaking to the database, rendering information and adding authentication very straightforward. In this session we are going to go over the basic workflow for building a CRUD app that speaks to the database. We will cover Generating the app, Authentication, Resource Controller methods and Blade templating.

Speaker - Connor Leech

Previously he worked as an Angular.js developer for Proteus Digital Health and is an active blogger and open source contributor.
