I had a great time at SkiPHP! It was well organized with interesting speakers and located really close to home. I went to a mix of sessions on topics applicable to my current job as well as topics I knew nothing about. I’m left with a lot of things that I want to learn more about.
Things to look up
- What is federated code?
- What exactly is dev-ops?
- MySQL has a NoSQL api!?
- What exactly is percona?
- Look over all the PSR recommendations
- Look at Clean Code by Robert C. Martin (2 Recommendations!)
- Orange PHP elephant kickstarter
- Database migrations (Was this version control for databases? Connected with Laravel?)
- Find Chris Cornutt’s PHP security website
- Look at phpqa.org
- Utah Open Source
- phpmentoring.org
Things to do
- Read chapter 8 of the MySQL manual
- Finish rating talks on Joind.in
- Join the Utah PHP user group
- Subscribe to the PHP User Group YouTube channel
Things to try
- Investigate release processes / continuous integration
- Apply dependence injection to a small app at work
- Finally try out Doctrine on a personal project
- Can I push user role information through Google Analytics to classify our users?
