[WebPub] [abcd-www] TODAY - Software architecture, OOP, and frameworks

[Tremonte, Donna]

Hello MIT WebPub,

Our speakers have arrived, now all we need is you! Don’t miss this opportunity to not talk or hear about snow!

We have an exciting 3-part talk lined up we will have three 30 minute talks by thePHP.cc<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__thephp.cc_welcome&d=AwMF-g&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=y4xSmNRb1tNjvlg8AMpqYos_NWIfHwWBXV2VP92-2i0&m=AjkdKJisTw1EB_lwMxPVNt9U0vru-dX5MfoGwuOap0Y&s=rsuk4nsgbDtOfSHuTvDI660-v9ozBIcJGZeN4R_WUfc&e=>:

Revisited: The Webstack in 2015 (Arne Blankerts)
Back in the days the LAMP stack did satisfy the needs of the web, making it the big success we all know. But today’s applications more often than not require a scalability, security and performance this classic environment can hardly provide. In this session we will have a look at a modern web stack leveraging state-of-the-art components like nginx, php-fpm, redis and more.

He focuses on IT security, performance and reliability, which he attends to with almost magical intuition creating solutions that clearly bear his hallmark. Companies around the world rely on his concepts and LINUX-based system architectures.

The Why, What, and How of Testing (Sebastian Bergmann)
One of the most important tasks in software testing is to find the right scope for each test case. What can be covered with unit tests and when are system-level end-to-end tests useful? What are functional tests, integration tests, or edge-to-edge tests? How do you test non-functional aspects such as performance? And where do experiment-driven and test-driven development fit in? We will discuss which aspects of an application should be tested and how to efficiently implement these tests so that they are easy to write and fast to execute while delivering highly reliable results.

Enterprises and PHP developers around the world benefit from the tools that he has developed and the experience he shares.

Where the river flows (Stefan Priebsch)
Join a picturesque tour of a scenic river, flowing through different countries, and finally into the Black Sea. Learn about timber rafting in former times and today. And find out what the hell all this has to do
with software architecture.
Bio: Stefan Priebsch<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__thephp.cc_consultant_stefan-2Dpriebsch&d=AwMF-g&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=y4xSmNRb1tNjvlg8AMpqYos_NWIfHwWBXV2VP92-2i0&m=qVSQehjorXM-rxn07PrcLBUq75THcwA3lsdKdczEBj4&s=Nl9F6TQnH4N5n--TbQrvLpWxFhuQBwyvOgB1LUWfyaI&e=> (@spriebsch) is a co-founder of The PHP Consulting Company (http://thephp.cc<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__thephp.cc_&d=AwMF-g&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=y4xSmNRb1tNjvlg8AMpqYos_NWIfHwWBXV2VP92-2i0&m=d7RmVtKiLH6wd-qmNIZ-ih5xpavr0pTyUeAUr0H3Sqs&s=YZq5BZ_bXtKHB1hjINi9zFkEIk8_ffIOP9WHhcYHcOE&e=>). As a consultant and coach, he helps teams to develop software successfully. He is a university lecturer for web programming and author of several textbooks. Being father of four-year-old twins, he also is an established scalability expert.
