Next week I’ll be 5 days in Mainz, Germany, attending the annual International PHP Conference. This year I’ll give one full day work shop with Lars from Swoodoo and my boss at Mayflower, Johann. Our topic on monday, october 27th, is Theory and practice – migrating your legacy code into our modern test driven development world. I’ll give an own session on thursday, october 30th, about Quality in PHP projects beyond Unittests. On Tuesday and wednesday you’ll find me at the Mayflower booth.
