Conference Day 1
PHPUnit IV.III - Return of the tests
Saturday 3rd October 16.20 - 17.10
A long time ago in code base not so far away?
It's a time of prosperity and happiness. Development Teams have improved their coding skills and are now very familiar with writing code with proper DocBlock comments and unit tests, safeguarding their code bases against unwanted behaviour. But the evil Internet is building their new weapon against the Development Teams and sneaks through the gaps still uncovered by tests.
Will the Development Teams be in time to safeguard their code base again and bring peace and balance in the universe?
Conference Day 2
200K+ reasons why security is a must
Sunday 4th October 09.00 - 09.45
We all have focussed on best practices and code quality over the past years, but we seemed to forgot the most important aspect of the web: security.
Security is a mindset that needs to be present from the earliest phase of any project as the complexity of an application can make it very hard to implement good and layered security features.
This talk will cover the basic concepts of security and what you as a developer (or business) should do to prevent bad things from happening and what you need to do when you've been compromised.
