php|tek Slides
May 19th, 2007Well, php|tek is over. It was a great conference and I’m really glad I went. This was my first PHP conference.
One of my main goals was to meet some of the folks at php|architect. I’ve been writing the Test Pattern column for them for over a year now. I was finally able to put faces to the names that I keep seeing in my email box. Actually, one of the cooler things about the conference was meeting people who I’m familiar with from online, either from forums, IRC, mailing lists or blogs.
I’d like to thank everyone who attended my sessions. Here are the slides from each session:
- Writing Maintainable PHP Code (PDF) - based on my March 2006 column.
- Dependency Injection (PDF) - based on my June 2006 column.
- Exceptional PHP (PDF) - based on my December 2006 column.

Jeff, you’re killing me, man. I was sure when I saw the DI slides you were going to show a reason for it and the container. I’ve yet to find a full fledged need for the container and just the other day was lamenting the lack of a need for such cool code…
Just from my personal observation, I think the reason there is no “mature” containers is that a valid need hasn’t been discovered for one yet. Err - let me rephrase. There is yet to be a valid, non-theoretical need for one. Myself, Marcus Baker, and Pawel Kozlowski all separately made DI containers a few years back when DI first hit the scene. It was extremely easy to do and have fully unit-tested, but then I couldn’t find a valid reason for including the container in any project I was working on. I imagine the others were in a similar situation since I’ve yet to see any of our code in major projects.

Excellent! Can I obtain the session recordings, or videos? I obviously didn’t have the opportunity to attend the conference.
