🗣 Cees-Jan Kiewit - A crash course into async and non-blocking PHP
The world of async and non-blocking PHP might be intimidating but let me give you a crash course through it's wonderous landscape. From async messaging structures, and background queue processors, to non-blocking PHP application services with thread workers handling requests. All with real life examples on how they have been done and why that way.
🗣 Stephan Hochdörfer - How good are my tests?
How to measure the quality of unit tests? Code coverage is not
necessarily a good indicator to answer this question. What other options
do we have? Do we need tests to test the quality of our tests? In some
way, yes, we to. In this session, I will introduce you to the concept of
mutation-based testing and how this technique can be used to improve the quality of your test suite.
💸 Event sponsoring
The elePHPant sponsor for this meetup is no one less than Mr. Mark Baker. He was really generous to send us a few cute elePHPants to raffle, for which we are really, really grateful. Mark, you’re a wonderful person! 🙇
With great pleasure we can announce that we also raffle a ticket for “the Online PHP Conference” generously provided by thePHP.cc, the German PHP consulting team consisting of Sebastian Bergmann, Stefan Priebsch and Arne Blankerts. Plus we have a discount code for all participants to the event.
We also have a special raffle prize provided by Heroku containing exclusive Heroku elePHPant, socks, cards and stickers.
We also would like to mention that IN2IT picks up the bills for the meetup platforms and takes care of shipping for us, so kudos to Michelangelo and his crew 👏
