Fantastic Functions and Where to Find Them

Dev

PHP is a truly amazing language. You probably use PHP to create beautiful websites and services in an expressive way. But the language is capable of so much more than what you'll probably program in your day to day job.

 

In this entertaining talk, we'll take a look a couple of surprising ways to use PHP. You'll see lesser known functionality being used such as weak maps and process control functions. We'll also cover a couple amazing open source PHP projects that have borrowed inspiration from communities outside of PHP such as Tailwind and Phoenix.

 

After this talk you'll be even more convinced how truly flexible PHP. You'll also have learned a couple of functions and packages that you can use in your next project."

Beyond the Basics: Mastering Advanced Template Layouts in EE

Dev

So you have been building EE websites for a while now. You know your way around template groups, templates, partials, embeds and variables. Maybe you've standardised your site building so it's as DRY as a Martini. Maybe you even use a Template Layout for your HTML wrapper. But do you know there's a lot more you can do with Template Layouts? 
 

In this workshop-style session we demonstrate advanced usage of Template Layouts with real life use cases and examples that might change your view of what can be done with EE. We'll cover introduction to the Template Layouts concept, layout variables and arrays, types of layout variables and their use, debugging techniques, and replacing embeds and third party addons. Each of these subjects will be laced with real life examples. This session is suited for everyone who has ever built something in EE. Bring your laptop and your most complex site and explore how to improve it.
