We are pleased to announce the October (Tuesday 16th) event for PHP North East.
Using Composer to manage dependencies and distribute your code in style by Matt Kirwan.
Composer – a “dependency manager for PHP” is currently gaining a lot of traction within the PHP community. This introductory level talk will first take a look at what problems a tool like composer solves and how it is unique, a little bit of history and then it will then run through the ridiculously simple installation process, basic usage and finally demonstrate a real(ish) solution for managing your code efficiently.
Matt Kirwan is a developer with an unhealthy obsession for learning. Currently working and living in Teesside, Matt, like many other developers is beginning to realise the power of truly re-usable component or library based code – the discovery of composer was just one catalyst for this thinking. You can check out Matt’s website where he usually waffles about tech related topics and uploads the occasional picture. http://www.mattkirwan.com
The event is free and open to all. If you would like to attend this event make sure you register by going to: http://phpne-composer-rss.eventbrite.com/
Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Laura Sharpe of Sharpe Recruitment, there will once again be a stack of pizzas for you to enjoy before the talk.
The event will take place at the Post Office in Pink Lane (@PostOfficeNE1) courtesy of PNE. Feedback, suggestions and ideas for future topics are welcome on our Google Group.
After the talk, many of us will be heading over to The Town Wall pub opposive for a few refreshing beverages, please feel free to join us afterwards too!
