Mastering Bug Fixing: Six Strategies to Improve Your Debugging Skills

In this talk, we discuss strategies and techniques for modernizing and upgrading legacy PHP applications. Important differences between PHP versions will be discussed, and specific solutions for upgrade issues from PHP 5.4 and later will be discussed. Dependency management for legacy upgrade projects will discussed in detail, along with debugging and deployment techniques.

Attendees will learn how to bring their old PHP projects up to speed with current best practices and standards without a topdown rewrite.

PHP Performance Profiling: May the Speed Be with You

In a galaxy not so far away, PHP performance optimisation emerges as a crucial quest for developers. Join us as we embark on a journey through the stars of code, exploring the hidden powers within PHP itself and the arsenal of external tools at our disposal. Discover the secrets of built-in PHP functions and powerful allies like Xdebug, New Relic, and Blackfire. Learn Jedi-level best practices for crafting high-performance applications. May the Speed Be with You!

Strict PHP

Its loose type system and implicit type casts make PHP a perfect programming language for beginners. However, if we rely heavily on those features, we’ll eventually end up with a codebase that is hard to control and maintain. In this session, Alexander will open up his toolbox and show how a stricter way of programming PHP applications helps him to not lose pace when applying changes to PHP applications.
