Type-Safe PHP
Since version 7, PHP allows significantly more type safety when programming. This means that many errors can be found before a program is even executed.
In this training, you will learn about the two development tools Psalm and PHPStan through live demonstrations. You will learn to use the tools correctly and to make targeted adjustments to your source code in order to significantly reduce the probability of errors.
- You can use Psalm and PHPStan for your PHP projects
- You understand the output of Psalm as well as PHPStan and can derive appropriate measures from it
- You can make previously implicit assumptions about your code explicit through annotations
- You can have these explicit assumptions checked automatically by Psalm and PHPStan
This training is intended for advanced PHP developers who create or maintain complex applications.
Participants should have about 3-4 years of experience programming with PHP or a similar programming language. Participants should have practical experience with object-oriented programming and be confident in using an IDE, common development tools, and Git version control.
