Talks:

Doctrine - more than just an ORM
Andreas Braun, @alcaeus

When they hear the word “Doctrine”, most developers think of the ORM which comes bundled with Symfony and is the de-facto standard ORM for most applications. In this talk, we’ll take a look at the lesser-known packages behind this ORM and what they do. I’ll show how these packages are going to evolve over next few months to leverage strict typing and static analysis, making them more stable.

The Content Manager loves the tree
Maximilian Berghoff, @ElectricMaxxx

Tree-like structures are omnipresent throughout the web. Whether in the plain URL of a website, as navigation-menu or for board- or chatlogs. Even XML represents a tree-like structure. So why not store data in such a construct? In the Java-World there is the JCR named ContentRepository which stores data in a tree-like structure. The JCR has been ported to PHP as PHPCR. Using the Doctrine-Wrapper PHPCR-ODM it can be integrated into applications without hassle. This talk will show how to effectively persist semi-structured content, dynamic routing or other hierarchically structured data.
