Mastering Agentic PHP Development with MCP

AI coding assistants are powerful, but they're only as good as the context they have access to. Without real-time documentation, even the best models can hallucinate APIs or bridging AI agents with live, authoritative data. We'll cover MCP's core concepts, then build a functional server using the Official PHP SDK that connects directly to PHP.net documentation. We'll also implement Composer package search for intelligent dependency discovery. Join me to see how this Master Control Program...unli…

Domain Driven PHP

In the modern PHP ecosystem, we often let frameworks dictate our application's architecture. We start with composer create-project and immediately begin molding our business logic to fit the constraints of a specific "Way." But what happens when the framework becomes a hurdle rather than a helper?

This session explores the Art of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) by stripping away the safety net of frameworks. We will start from a "naked" PHP environment, demonstrating how to build a robust, testable,…

Advanced PHPUnit Shenanigans

Hopefully by now, you know that testing is important, and you've integrated PHPUnit into your workflow. (If not, go watch one of those talks.) So now what??

In this "testing 202" course, we'll explore some features of PHPUnit you may not be using (but should), some techniques you may not have thought of, and how to extend PHPUnit yourself for your own nefarious testing purposes. And we'll answer the question, "so what are traits actually good for"?
