Modernising Legacy Code
At some point of your career you'll probably end up working on a majorly outdated version of a framework and prehistoric version of PHP. What happens when you're finally given the go-ahead to upgrade?
This talks tells the story of a major upgrade I worked on. I'll share the tools used, things that went well and the lessons learnt.
The talk will leave you with practical advice for planning and executing a major upgrade.
