PHP-WVL: December Meetup at Stack & Heap
2 Dec 2015 at Stack & Heap

Jachim heeft zijn best gedaan, maar de magie van het duo Tom & jachim ontbrak wat.

Jammer dat het duo niet compleet was. Maar niet te min even goed.

A great talk about the use and benefits of continuous deployment, with the usual "extra dose" of inspiration that Michelangelo so naturally delivers to the audience. Probably thanks to the caffeine. Kidding aside, I left thinking "I've got to do this now for ALL my projects" EVEN if I'm already doing most of it. That's the Michelangelo effect.

After further consideration I'm still not completely sold on "Vagrant for development", despite some great insights during the Q&A time, but the benefits were clearly presented during the talk.

I'll look into using Docker for development, which requires Vagrant for non-Linux machines. So then for those machines I'll also try Rsync instead of NFS. Maybe that's that's the mix that will get me the best out of both worlds (performance vs homologous environments).

As a student I'm not yet active in the workfield but I'm pleased that at least some of my lecturers are preaching the "right thing". Unfortunately others are still stuck in the days of the "punch card". They're supposed to teach us about OOP but don't quit fully understand themselves. They preach about 'Design Patterns' and then flagrantly forget about it when they make examples. Anyway... let's quit the rage here :)

I still have to checkout a lot of the things you said 'cause as a student, you only get to see the first paragraphs of a book and the rest is "in your own time". Unfortunately there are only 24hrs in a day (whished there were 36 or something but well... can't have it all I guess).

Thanks for your input on 'streamlining' things.

Yoeri.

Thank you for coming out tonight!

You are a great crowd and I love to see you all again at a conference in the nearby future.
