An interview about the work of the PHP Chapter
PHP is the server-side programming language that powers most of our customer projects. It is part of our toolchain since bitExpert was started in 2003. Over the years PHP has evolved a lot, it is far away from being the scripting language it used to be some 20 years ago.
We took this opportunity to talk about this great language with our PHP chapter lead, Holger Dörner.
We are currently building our first website based on Sulu. For this, we use the Sulu headless bundle to focus on React as technology on the frontend side.
After my first in-person event this year, I am quite happy to be able to speak again on a stage in front of "real people"(tm) at a conference in September.
For a client, we also handle the vulnerability management of the projects. This also involves manual checks after a new project is launched, to ensure that no critical security problem is caused by misconfiguration.
We are currently migration an internal tool from Javascript to Typescript. In that process, we also began adding unit tests with Jest (well, ts-jest to be precise).
The PHP USERGROUP DRESDEN e.V. turns 6 years old and celebrates this special occasion with its members, friends, and partners on the 25th of August 2022.
In the process of refactoring an internal tool that connects to the Microsoft Graph API I re-worked the process of retrieving an authentication token that is needed for making a request to the MS Graph API.
It has taken a while but finally, our phpstan-magento extension for PHPStan got a new release.
We decided that we will still work on a remote basis after the pandemic. Still, we keep our offices in Mannheim and Bucharest for our team to meet in case it makes sense. Thanks to Office 365 our employees can book workspaces in a similar fashion as booking a conference room for a meeting.
In one of our recent projects, we are using Sulu CMS with the Sulu Headless bundle and a React frontend. Additionally, we are also using the Sulu Forms bundle for form handling.
