Since the early days of PHP, when the language was deliberately forgiving and relied heavily on implicit type coercion, PHP has come a long way. With support for an expressive type system, granular [...]

In modern architectures, loosely coupled subsystems collaborate via events rather than giving each other direct instructions. This is referred to as event sourcing if the entire state of an application can be reconstructed [...]

Developers in other languages like Java, C#, or TypeScript, have been enjoying the benefits of generics for a long time. They allow us to describe precise types of values included in a collection [...]

This talk shows how innocent rounding logic can slowly destroy financial integrity. We walk through real examples where PHP gets money wrong and how to engineer systems that never do.

Rector is a tool best known for upgrading and refactoring codebases, but its potential goes far beyond that. What if you could make Rector a key part of your everyday development workflow? In [...]

PHP Installer for Extensions (PIE) is an innovative tool I am writing for the PHP Foundation to modernise how PHP extensions are installed and managed. For decades, PECL has been the go-to mechanism, [...]

For years, PHP has been described, and dismissed, as a simple scripting language for the web. Request in, request out. Slow. Blocking. Old. That story is no longer true. Over the past few [...]

NOTE: This is the same talk as in room 2, live streamed from that room, in case too many people choose this session. We're in a world where the lines are blurred between [...]

In the world of software development, programming languages and frameworks are more than just tools—they can become badges of identity and sources of near-religious devotion. In this talk, we explore how developers often [...]

Everyone! You will always remember this day as the day that changed your perspective on security and UI/UX. Today, we set sail to discover the hidden treasures of these two islands. How many [...]

I tell you the story about why and how I wrote a package called tempest/highlight (https://github.com/tempestphp/highlight). A fast and extensible code highlighter for the web and terminal, written in PHP. When I was [...]

Dive into keyboard accessibility and focus management - skills for creating inclusive web experiences. Learn how to ensure your interactive elements are accessible to everyone, whether they use a mouse or not. We'll [...]

What can tech teams learn from a theme park? More than you might think. Disney is known for crafting magical experiences: not just in their parks, but in the way they approach design, [...]

Dive into the cutting-edge world of VR-first web development! As VR headsets revolutionize web browsing, we'll challenge the assumption that VR websites must be 3D and spatial. Instead, we'll explore how to adapt [...]

Curious about how Netherlands biggest weather platform manages to predict the weather with such accuracy while serving millions of users every day? Join us for an insightful dive into the technology powering Buienradar’s [...]

Once upon a time, developers were the unsung heroes of our world. The stereotypical developer, with glasses perched on the nose and an innate talent for science, even inspired the alter egos of [...]

A lot of companies think contributing to open source is hard, but is it? In this talk you will hear about how Ingewikkeld, a small Dutch development and consultancy company, has built a [...]

You've started a new job. As you dig deeper into the codebase, the WTFs per minute rate rapidly increases, and you're left wondering... "Where do I start?!". In this talk, I'll draw on [...]

Monad is a term that comes from functional programming, and some people swear by them for error handling. But what is a monad exactly? And what if told you, you may have actually [...]

Learn the "evergreen" skills that every software developer needs to thrive in their career, regardless of the latest technologies and trends. In this talk, we'll explore some of these and how to cultivate [...]

Generics are a programming language concept. In short, they allow you to write typed code without being specifically linked to a particular type. Many languages already support generics more or less natively: Java, [...]

During this presentation, we are going to look at the new features that were introduced in PHP 8.3, and some in earlier versions. Join me to have a look at how the type [...]

Managing infrastructure at scale is difficult and costly. How are top teams solving this challenge today? What are the benefits of utilising a cloud provider for this, and how does Bitrise do it?

Tests, monitoring, these help us assert the known knowns of our systems. But what about the known unknowns? Or, especially in complex distributed systems, the unknown unknowns? What can we learn from the [...]

Manuel's passion for software development is way older than his passion for the environment. Still, he realises one cannot be more important than the other over the last ten years. In this talk, [...]

Humans understand images and pictures much faster than words. It enables your audience to understand subjects at similar speed and creates more cohesion in the group you are targeting. That is a key [...]
