PHP Developer Best Practices
Working with a team of developers can be either like herding cats or fine-tuning a well-oiled engine, and the distinction is often the result of whether or not you have established a set of standard practices for your team.
During this tutorial session, we will cover a number of best practices you can institute in your organization or in your personal coding toolbox, including:
- Testing Strategies
- Coding Standards
- Documentation
- Version Control
- Deployment Methodologies
We will discuss the hows and whys of each topic, and strive to cover concrete examples that you can start implementing immediately, so that you and your developers can start working more efficiently.
