10 Golden Rules of Thumb
10 Golden Rules of ThumbDoing proper object oriented design and programming of PHP based applications is by far not as easy as writing your first guestbook. Instead of preaching theoretical concepts, this session gives you 10 golden rules of thumb for improving your development. On basis of practical examples, important do's and dont's will be shown.
Advanced OO Patterns

Software-Metriken: Purismus vs. Pragmatismus
Software-Metriken: Purismus vs. PragmatismusStatische Codeanalyse und Softwaremetriken liefern eine Fülle von Daten die eine Abschätzung der Codequalität erlauben. Derlei Abschätzungen sind aber nicht immer einfach und die Interpretation von Metriken stark projekt-abhängig. Diese Session stellt die wichtigsten Metriken vor und diskutiert deren Interpretation anhand praktischer Beispiele. Diskutieren Sie mit und lernen Sie mit Hilfe statischer Codeanalyse die Qualität Ihres Quellcodes effektiv abzuschätzen.

Make your project SOLID!
Make your project SOLID!The 5 SOLID principles incarnate the essence of good object oriented design and programming. Sadly, only few people know about them and even fewer obey to them in their daily work. In this session we will not only explain the principles without lots of theory, but also show you how to realize them in your everyday work, using practical examples from real world projects.

Vom lokalen Build zum Deployment
Vom lokalen Build zum DeploymentBuildautomatisierung und Continuous Deployment gewinnen in den letzten Jahren danke der agilen Bewegung immer mehr an Bedeutung. In dieser Session wird gezeigt, wie mit Hilfe von Apache Ant sukzessive alle Arbeitsschritte automatisiert werden können, die heutzutage eine Webapplikation von der Entwicklung bis zum abschließenden Deployment auf einen oder mehrere Server durchläuft.

HTTP is your architecture
HTTP is your architectureLike it or hate it, in the web environment you are always bound to HTTP. While many people see HTTP as a big limitation, you should turn the tables and see it as your best friend! This interactive and open session gives you an insight into the architectural principles of HTTP which are important to know and seize for normal web sites, as they are for RESTful web services. Download
A generic PHP Application installer
A generic PHP Application installerEvery user deployable PHP application needs one: An Installer. For now there are no proper generic installers for PHP applications out there, but everyone implement their own. In the Arbit project we developed a generic installer which should be usable by everyone. The presentation will show the how the installer works, and how to use it for your application. Download

PHPUnit to the limit
PHPUnit to the limitPHPUnit is the de facto standard for testing in PHP. Not only unit tests are developed using this framework, but also e.g. front end tests using Selenium integration. In this session we will discuss more edge cases where the flexibility of PHPUnit allows you to write tests and integrate them into your automated test run, even if they are clearly not unit tests anymore.

From eZ to Zeta Components
From eZ to Zeta ComponentsSince June 2010 eZ Components are incubated for becoming a project of the Apache Software Foundation under their new name Zeta Components. How did that come? What about the future of the project? And what about eZ? Legal aspects? Can I still venture to use this stuff? Who is now maintaining? And wow can I get involved? These are just some of the questions to be answered in this session. Download
