Billie Thompson

During this talk Thompson will introduce you to the concepts of publishing an API contract using the Open API standard (formerly called Swagger). She'll cover your options for defining your API contract, the pros and cons of each, and how to verify you're following that standard in actuality. This talk's example will be based around Symfony, and the tools involved make heavy use of the Symfony Serializer, however non-Symfony users will find it useful too.

At the Home Office we had a problem. Hundreds of lines of infrastructure, everyone doing their own thing, and reinventing the wheel. During this talk I'll tell you how we are attempting resolve that using Docker, Kubernetes and changing developer culture.

This talk consists of 3 parts. In the first I will introduce you to docker and talk about how to use it to create reusable infrastructure components, then I will talk about how to deploy and manage those components with the open source PaaS Kubernetes, and finally I'll talk about changing our culture using tools and techniques to ensure we keep reusing into the future.

MVVM and Silex - It's the future

Abstract
There's two things that every cool new start-up wants to provide. A rich application like website, and an API. I'll be talking about how to use Silex and an AngularJS to create one. With lots of demos to go wrong, this talk is aimed at PHP developers that work closely with the frontend, some some knowledge of JavaScript is assumed. We'll touch on the cool things happening in the frontend space like Bower, Grunt, MVVM Frameworks… Show more

CQRS & Event Sourcing - The coolest design patterns you probably shouldn't be using

Abstract
This talk will take you through the Event Sourcing design pattern, then go through how you'd implement it. From there we'll move on to CQRS, starting with what it is, then moving onto why it works well with event sourcing and how you'd implement it. Finally we'll wrap up with why it's probably not appropriate for most projects, and give some examples where it is appropriate.
