Friday 29th September, PM Session (14:00 - 17:30)
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you were either constantly updating simple SQL queries as your app evolved or crushed under the maintenance of your own ORM ? In this workshop we are going to build a small application to become familiar with the ORM and database abstraction component of Doctrine. In the end you will be able to take full advantage of Doctrine and navigate around its limitations to build your application.
Saturday 30th September 12:00 - 12:50
Where is the truth in sentences like "ORMs are slow" or "SQL is insecure" ? We will walk through the reasons that shaped ORM architecture, their potential and limitations. After this talk you will be in a better position to choose the best fit for you and your next application.
