Enterprise PHP Development
PHP has come a long way. What started as a tool to help Rasmus Lerdorf track his online resume, is now used by millions of web sites and applications worldwide. Many of these are becoming business critical. With the growth of PHP, there is also a demand for mature PHP development. In this talk, Ivo discusses ways to improve your development process to create applications that are more robust, have higher quality and are easier to maintain.
By comparing the building of a critical application to building a skyscraper, and PHP to bricks, you can see that there’s more required than just stacking of the bricks to build a skyscraper. The talk covers all relevant parts of the development life-cycle and helps developers and managers to take their development efforts to the next level.
