[Nottingham] Talk this Thursday (Tomorrow) - PHP: Applying Good Practice to a Misused Language

[Joshua Lock]

Folks,

This Thursday (4th Oct) starting at 19:30 we have special guest
speakers from Pale
Purple.

Summary:
Over the past few years, PHP has become the tool of choice for aspiring
web developers everywhere - picked up and misused by millions.
As a language that is easy to get started with, through examples and
code snippets across the web, it is cut and pasted to death, leaving a
legacy of unreadability and insecurity and a reputation as a 'bad'
language
This talk discusses some of the pitfalls of PHP development and
introduces a range of tools and techniques that can be used to transform
a lacklustre PHP amateur into a polished professional.
It will focus mainly on applying good design and testing to projects,
and introduce some of the popular tools that will help developers to
acheive clean, secure, maintainable code.
