Building a sane exception system
Session en anglais - Débutant
Exception management is a nuanced art. In this session, we will delve into the realm of error handling in PHP, examining best practices and strategies to craft a resilient and coherent exception system. Exception handling is pivotal in software development, where errors can disrupt your application's flow. This encompasses custom and native exceptions, as well as addressing unnecessary, forgotten or over-protective try/catch blocks.
Four usages of PHP static analysis
Session en anglais - Débutant
Static analysis is for life, not just for christmas. While finding bugs before execution a staple, static analysis provide tools to go even further. It scans the code to offer suggestions, training unususpecting developers into using modern code. It provides inventories, linking remote parts of the code by their value and process, and bringing more consistency across the code base. Finally, it can document the code base, and keep it real-time.
