Finally, an offline conference again and then my first Magento UC in Cologne. It was again organized by FireGento e.V. and moderated by Fabian Blechschmidt and Rico Neitzel.

Everybody knows the scenario: You are sitting in front of a programming task but the right solution will not come into mind or a colleague is asking for Your support. Now You sat down and discussed about the Problem and the possible alternative solutions, after all the colleague who could save the day was only a few desks away.

easyCRM is our newest cloud solution for customer data. With #easyCRM, everything revolves around your customers. It gets you started in #marketing, #sales, and #service, and helps you identify potential customers and plan activities.

We took this opportunity to talk about this application with our project owner, Theodor Barca.

We started developing a few Sulu based projects. In this blog post, I want to share how we have configured our GitLab CI build pipeline to validate, build, and deploy our Sulu projects.

France is more than just cheese, wine, and the Eiffel Tower. Our neighbors know not only how to develop excellent PHP Frameworks, but also how to organize awesome conferences!

A part of our PHP-Team took the chance to attend the API Platform Conference 2022 in person, which took place in Lille (France).

Not being happy with our current Docker build process in one of our projects, I was researching how to optimize the process.

Recently, I wanted to improve our CI build pipelines with some custom-built Docker images for our PHP projects. To make sure I can reuse the image in as many of our projects as possible, I wanted to compile and install as many PHP extensions as possible.

It's been a few months sine we migrated from Silverstripe to Docusaurus for our blog. Quite a few blog posts have been published since then via the CI pipeline we've set up. This blog post covers how we do things.

While testing an async method with ts-jest I came across a problem. The method throws an error on invalid input.

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.
