thePHP.cc - The PHP Consulting Company will present the following workshops and sessions at this year's International PHP Conference: Spring Edition in Berlin:

Continuous Inspection and Integration of PHP Projects

Sebastian Bergmann, 30.05.2010, 09:15 - 13:00, Room: Salon 4

Continuous Integration with automated code analysis and test execution has seen broad adoption in recent years. The ideas behind this have changed how companies look at Build Management, Release Management, Deployment Automation, and Test Orchestration. This session presents the best practices and available tools that provide an insight into the development progress and code quality.

The Cake is a Lie

Sebastian Bergmann, 31.05.2010, 09:15 - 10:15, Room: Salon 6

Even if you have not played the game "Portal" you might have come across the phrase "The cake is a lie". According to the Urban Dictionary, it roughly translates to "your promised reward is merely a fictitious motivator". Scaffolding, the meta-programming method of building software applications, promises easier development and a faster time-to-market. But the "code generation bliss" can lead to problems later on, for instance with regard to maintainability and scalability. This session takes a sceptical look at frameworks such as CakePHP and Symfony.

Building a PHP Preprocessor with Plain PHP

Arne Blankerts, 31.05.2010, 15:15 - 16:15, Room: Salon 6

Ever wished to have a preprocessor for PHP? Now you can! In this session we will implement a simple yet powerful preprocessor using the streamwrapper technology that works out of the box on any PHP installation. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities like annotation parsing, AOP, or dependency resolution in PHP development - all transparently done in the background.

Continuous Integration and Unit Testing in Agile Environments

Sebastian Bergmann, 01.06.2010, 16:00 - 17:00, Room: Salon 7

As part of the Agile Day, this session will shine a light on the roles that Continuous Integration and Unit Testing play in agile environments.

Diapers: When They Smell, Change Them

Stefan Priebsch, 30.05.2010 - 02.06.2010, Room: $HOME

Stefan Priebsch can not join us this year for the International PHP Conference: Spring Edition in Berlin. Earlier this month he became the proud father of two beautiful twins, Lara and Patrick. We hope that he will be at the International PHP Conference this fall in Mainz.

Arne and I are looking forward to see you in Berlin next week!
