Performance and testing are just one aspect of code, to really be successful your code needs to be readable, maintainable and generally easier to comprehend and work with. This talk draws from my own experience in applying the techniques of object calisthenics and code readability, within an existing team. It will help you identify trouble areas, learn how to refactor them and train you to write better code in future projects avoiding common pitfalls.

Annotating with Annotations

• True North PHP 2012 (Toronto, CA)

• November 3, 2012

Annotations are more than phpdoc comments, they’re a fully-featured way of including additional information alongside your code. We might have rejected an RFC to add support into the PHP core, but the community has embraced this tool anyway! This session shows you who is doing what with annotations, and will give you some ideas on how to use the existing tools in your own projects to keep life simple. Developers, architects and anyone responsible for the technical direction of an application should attend this session.
