Ivan Penović: The PHP Awakens A Force is in Domain
In this session, I will show some real-life examples of using DDD in projects built with PHP. I will emphasize the good and some not-so-good things about using DDD. I will show that implementing DDD is not the problem and it's not something that will make your project so complicated that you'll spend twice more time to deliver it. In the end, I will also show that the DDD approach of building the software is also easy by using language such as PHP.
Through a set of examples, we'll dig into the practical implementation of DDD, looking into benefits and potential challenges. Throughout the session, I'll highlight both the strengths and limitations of using DDD in development. Contrary to common misconceptions, I'll demonstrate that integrating DDD principles doesn't necessarily complicate project delivery. Instead, it encourages developers to create robust, maintainable, and readable software.
Speaker short bio:
Hi, my name is Ivan. I'm a backend developer with more than a decade of experience building large and scalable web solutions. I'm focused on building APIs with PHP. I'm a fan of Symfony and love the DDD approach when building applications, but I'm always open to new technologies and design principles.

Matej Dragun: Asynchronous PHP with ReactPHP
This presentation will teach you how to use ReactPHP to evolve PHP from a single-threaded language into an asynchronous one. We'll explore how ReactPHP applications use an event-driven, non-blocking approach, and cover key concepts like streams, closures, and loops.
Speaker short bio:
Hi, I'm Matej, a husband, father, and software developer who began his professional career over 10 years ago. I've spent most of my career working with PHP and various frameworks, ranging from the older Zend Framework 1 to the more modern Symfony. Currently, I work as Head of Engineering at Devōt. When I'm not working, I enjoy playing with Lego (mostly Technics).
