Workshop prerequisites
In order to actively participate in hands-on workshops, you need to bring your own laptop with a processor capable of hardware virtualization and at least 4 GB of RAM (8 GB is highly recommended). Regular hard disk will do, but having an SSD is an advantage. As for software requirements, you need to have the latest version of VirtualBox 5.x installed.
Please note that if your laptop is not capable of hardware virtualization and doesn’t meet the requirements, you will only be able to listen to the workshops, but you will not be able to participate hands-on in the workshops and get the maximum value out of it.
If you will still be having problems with your setup, our Help Desk crew will be there on August 29, 18:00-19:30 to sort out any last minute issues.

Middleware architectures in PHP with Zend Expressive (Intermediate)by Marco Perone & Stefano Maraspin Middleware has recently become a must-know concept for PHP developers. With the advent of PSR-7, which standardized HTTP messages, many frameworks embraced and fostered the spread of such an approach making it easier for developers to create performant, composable, and customizable software architectures. In this workshop, you will incrementally develop a RESTful API using Zend Expressive, exploring its components and its workflow. You will discover how the framework allows to easily create simple and well organized code, exploiting open source libraries and middleware layers which could be reused for other projects, even with other frameworks! |

Building APIs in an easy way using API Platform (Intermediate)by Paula Čučuk & Antonio Perić-Mažar The web has changed! Users spend more time on mobile than on desktops and expect to have an amazing user experience on both. APIs are the heart of the new web as the central point of access data, encapsulating logic and providing the same data and same features for desktops and mobiles. In this workshop, Paula and Antonio will show you how to create complex APIs in an easy and quick way using API Platform built on Symfony. |

Lean and functional domain modelling (Advanced)by Marcello Duarte Rich domain models, inspired by imperative objective-oriented approaches, dominate our industry. But lean domain models are a compelling alternative. By separating behaviour and state, lean models offer an effective way to represent units of behaviour. This session will explore how to represent a lean domain model using a functional programming paradigm. You'll explore how types can be used as a natural way to represent business constraints alongside smart constructors and functional validation. You will also learn how type properties can be modelled with property based testing, how behaviour can be better composed, how to keep domain behaviour isolated from application state, and much more. |

Basic CQRS and Event Sourcing with Prooph (Intermediate)by Marco Pivetta CQRS and Event Sourcing are challenging if approached for the first time, and especially if done from scratch. Marco will help you installing, configuring and getting Prooph to run. You'll build a fairly simple event-sourced aggregate in order for you to understand how to organize things inside CQRS/ES stack, and how to massively simplify some problems that usually cause very big performance issues when put at scale. |
