- Elcodi is a suite of bundles for Symfony2 which aim to help developers build and quickly scale e-commerce websites. It is written in a clean, straightforward way to ease and smooth the learning curve and it promotes development productivity, SOLID, DRY principles without adding too many layers of indirection. Some of the goals we think we've reached: Balance between flexibility and development speed, Reusable components and foundations for writing custom Model. We'd like to share some insights on how we are approaching those topics by using rigorous coding standards, enforcing coherence and loose coupling, aiming for comprehensible and self-explaining code. See how you can leverage Symfony components for addressing similar challenges and let's discuss the rationales behind some good practices. And above all, see how to do it without pain, because we think that coding should always be a pleasure and crafting developer-friendly software is in our DNA!

- In almost all of the applications we create in our day to day lives we work with filesystems. These days it's not just our local filesystem anymore. It's AWS S3, Dropbox, (S)FTP, or any other cloud filesystem provider. They all have their pros and cons. In this talk we’ll go into several aspects of choosing and working with filesystems and how Flysystem helps you out in this process. We'll go over: technical debt, separation of concerns, domain vs implementation and how using an abstract filesystem can help you be flexible.

- I'm routinely overwhelmed by the quality, features and *people* that make Symfony possible. But earlier this year, I looked around and at the Symfony universe and saw something I didn't like: complexity. Not because our high-quality tools need to be hard, but because we had stopped asking one important question each time we solved a problem: "How could we make this simpler?" And so, the Developer Experience (DX) initiative was born to ask that question and make Symfony more *productive* and joyful. In this talk, I'll show you what we've already accomplished and how it will immediately affect how you develop (in a good way). We'll also see what's next and why I'm so excited about the future.

- Almost 3 years after the start, the Kunstmaan CMS bundles are now used all over the world. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows -building a cms is hard work- but luckily Symfony and it's many fine bundles make it easier. Nonetheless, it took some time to put the cherry on top so I'll talk about the pitfalls too. My presentation is about where we came from, how we handled the situation and how we built the Kunstmaan bundles. Want to know more... ? I'll be happy to answer all your questions!

- Since bumping into AngularJS a few months ago, we decided to invest more and more time developing applications with it: coming from a PHP background, the shift of paradigm easy due to the use of patterns and intuitive flows: even though this won’t be a very in-depth technical talk, we are going to see why you should consider working with angular: fast single-page apps, DI, ease of testing, being asynchronous, scaling on the clients. Welcome to the future.

- Big Data is one of the new buzzwords in the industry. Everyone is using NoSQL databases. MySQL is not cool anymore. But... do we really have big data? Where should we store it? Are the traditional RDBMS databases dead? Is NoSQL the solution to our problems? And most importantly, how can PHP and Symfony2 help with it?

- Assetic is a great tool. It helps us build our SASS and LESS files and minimises our JavaScript. But with Assetic we still have to do a lot of manual work. There are better ways to automate our frontend workflow. With Gulp and Bower, we can ditch Assetic and get to grips with the latest and greatest. We will go through how to automate and optimise our Symfony2 frontend workflow in a more efficient manner than we have ever done before.“

- Thanks to Composer and Symfony, we all realize the advantages of single purpose libraries that solve specific problems. However, when it comes to eCommerce, there are few such libraries. eCommerce projects tend to be monolithic applications. Every few years we start over with a new technology stack, but we keep repeating the same mistakes with taxes, pricing, payments, addresses, etc. Our knowledge resets. How can we build a knowledge base of best practices? What reusable code can we publish? This session will provide an overview of some problems that we believe can be solved by abstract libraries: * Currency handling * Price management and complex pricing * Tax handling and the interaction between taxes and discounts * Address input and formatting * Payment processing We’ll then demonstrate the libraries Commerce Guys is publishing that we will use to power Drupal Commerce 2.x, the next version of the popular Drupal eCommerce module suite with more than 45,000 live sites.

- Some of you may have heard about mysqlnd. I personnally gave it a try and stepped deep into its heart. Here, I'll show you what mysqlnd can do for you, mainly how it can powerfuly decrease memory consumption when retrieving datasets, how it can hint you about wrong but working queries from PHP side, and how you can plug in additionnal code to turn this extension to an even more useful tool. We're gonna be hooked between MySQL and PHP to see and analyze whatever transits

- Software engineering is a measurable art. At some point or another, most developers have come across code that elicited feelings of approval or disgust; however, "clean code" can be more than a matter of opinion. We can measure it! This session will explore the spectrum of object calisthenics, software metrics, and tools that we can employ to help us create beautiful software.

- Le app mobile al giorno d’oggi sono molto comuni. Spesso queste applicazioni non possono contare su una connessione ad internet costante: la possibilità di lavorare in modalità offilne sta diventanti sempre più comune. In questo caso di studio vedremo una possibile implementazione di una architettura che abiliti la sincronizzazione dei dati creati in modalità offline. Today mobile apps are everywhere. These apps cannot count on a reliable and constant internet connection: working in offline mode is becoming a common pattern. This is quite easy for read-only apps but it becomes rapidly tricky for apps that create data in offline mode. This talk is a case study about a possible architecture for enabling data synchronization in these situations. Some of the topics touched will be: - id generation - hierarchical data - managing differente data types - sync algorithm

- I bet you are writing unit tests for your apps; if not, you probably feel ashamed. But what about performance? Everyone is talking about it but very few people actually integrate performance into their development workflow... After some quick theory, I will show you how to use xhprof and xdebug, two popular tools to profile PHP applications. Then, I will introduce you to Blackfire, a new profiler that makes it so easy to profile your apps that you won't have any more excuses for not doing it. Finally, I will talk about my new holy grail: Continuous performance profiling.
