Annotating with Annotations - translation:

      Annotations are more than phpdoc 
      comments, they're a fully-featured way of including additional information alongside 
      your code.  We might have rejected an RFC to add support into the PHP core, but the 
      community has embraced this tool anyway!  This session shows you who is doing what 
      with annotations, and will give you some ideas on how to use the existing tools in 
      your own projects to keep life simple. Developers, architects and anyone responsible for the 
      technical direction of an application should attend this session.

Magic behind the Numbers

We use static code analysis tools more often these days that create great reports and funky graphs. But do we understand what it all means? Software metrics tends to be magic numbers for a lot of people, but they don’t really have to be. I will introduce you to a few basic, the most popular software metrics and tools. I will explain to you what they mean and how you can use them to produce better software.

Scaling

At Etsy, we continuously deploy code. New features and bug fixes can go from development to production in 20 minutes. We have maintained this low barrier to deployment over the past year despite nearly doubling the number of people that can deploy. Communication has a huge impact on the velocity of development and moving forward. We explicitly communicate over IRC, but we also evolve communication patterns through several other vectors, and one of those vectors is out Continuous Integration environment. In this talk I will not only discuss how communication patterns at Etsy have evolved with our growing development team, but I will also elaborate on how team size, role composition, motivation, culture, and available tools sets can impact communication patterns and subsequently throughput.

Rasmus

A look at the state of PHP in 2012. Where are we, how did we get here and how does PHP fit into the current infrastructure ecosystem of the Web? Plus, a quick tour of what is new and cool in PHP 5.4.

ZF2

In this talk we will present a simple web application built with Zend Framework 2. We will show the new features of the framework, such as the new MVC layer, the Event Manager, the Dependency Injection and much more. The aim of this talk is how to start programming with the new architecture of ZF2. Moreover, we will show the differences with the version 1 of the framework and how to migrate applications from ZF1 to ZF2.
