PHP Warwickshire - June Meetup
28 Jun 2018 at Engineering and Computing Building, Coventry University

For June's meetup, we have Mark Baker (https://twitter.com/Mark_Baker) with his talk "Coding Horrors - A Horror Film Fan's Guide to PHP Coding Nightmares".

Abstract:

Most of us are probably aware of code smells, code that doesn't apply SOLID principles, code that should be refactored to make the system easier to maintain. But there are other coding horrors that should trigger alarm bells whenever we see them. Like a good horror movie, coding horrors should scare us when we find them, because they're often symptomatic of deeper problems. So let's take a short tour of some of the greatest horror movies ever made; and some of the most worrying code horrors that I've seen.
