March is coming fast - On the 13.03.2014 at 18:30 (with talks starting at 19:00 strict!) at Stockwerk, 3. floor. This time we got the symfony Usergroup and the Silverstripe Usergroup joining us with talks!

TIMEBOXING

Please note that we'll continue timeboxing, meaning we will be exactly on time! We will start exactly at 19:00! We are there at 18:30 so you can come a bit earlier (and you don't miss anything)!

As always, full-talks will be 45 min. max + Q&A (10 min max). Mini-talks are 15 minutes max + Q&A (10 min max).

"symfony2 Forms: Past, Present and Future" by Bernhard Schussek

The Symfony2 Form component is a critical part for many Symfony2 applications. As such, we have been constantly improving the component to handle the many different use cases of our users and to lower the barrier to entry for newcomers. As seasoned Symfony2 developer, all
these changes can be sometimes hard to track. What about backwards compatibility? Will your business-critical applications break? And the questions don't stop there. How can you get up to scratch with the latest best practices? What can you expect from future versions? And how can you get involved to help things move faster? I will try to answer these and many other questions in my talk.

"Hydra Symfony Bundle" by Matthias Steinböck

Matthias will present his Hydra Bundle for symfony, a social media channel aggregator.

After Gathering Party by Stockwerk:

After the gathering we will have a little party in the kitchen/bar of Stockwerk in the 1. floor, having some drinks and snacks and socializing.
