PHP UK 2023 - Porter Tun (Day 2)

Improve your quality of life as a PHP developer by exploring quality of life improvements, dependency injection, and geographically-inspired coding principles in PHP 8.1 and above.

Key takeaways
  • Quality of life improvements in PHP have a significant impact on software development.
  • It is essential to ensure the quality of life while working on code, considering factors like maintainability, understandability, and modifiability.
  • Dependency injection is a technique to manage dependencies between classes, allowing for cleaner and more maintainable code.
  • Constructors can be used to inject dependencies, making the class independent of specific implementations.
  • PHP 8.1 and above bring quality of life improvements to PHP, making it easier to write and maintain code.
  • Urban geography studies cities in terms of distribution and interactions, highlighting the impact of urbanization on society.
  • Maintainability and understandability are crucial aspects of software development, making code easier to modify and extend.
  • Software development should consider abstractions to hide implementation details and make code more modular.
  • Geographical studies can reveal the importance of urban planning and city growth in the development of human society.
  • PHP 8.2 introduces the random extension, allowing for customizable sources of randomness.
  • Writing clean and maintainable code requires considering factors like abstraction and modularity.
  • Software development should focus on improving quality of life by writing clean, maintainable, and modular code.
