Pre-conference workshops at SymfonyLive London 2018 are almost sold out!

All Symfony conferences come with pre-conference workshops. We organized them to enable the conference attendees to get trained on Symfony and its ecosystem just before the conference, during special workshops sessions at a very special price. The idea is to get the most out of the conference and enhance your Symfony skills before learning new tips and tricks from the speakers’ experience during the conference. We organize 4 different pre-conference workshops at SymfonyLive London 2018 on September 27th and they are almost all sold out!

If you are thinking on registering for a workshop, don’t wait any longer and book your combo ticket (workshop and conference) before there are no seats left anymore. Regular registration is open until September 3rd and the combo ticket is as low as £655! The workshop value at regular rate is £650. Benefit from this great deal until September 3rd, after that date, the combo ticket will increase to £767.

Here is the list of the pre-conference workshops offered:

• Symfony 4 Best Practices by Nicolas Grekas from Symfony

During this workshop, you will discover the new practices recommended by the Symfony Core team. You will learn how to install third-party packages with Symfony Flex, configure your application with environment variables or exploit the new features of the dependency injection container. And much more!

• Building API-driven apps with API Platform by Kévin Dunglas from Les-Tilleuls.coop

API Platform has become a very popular framework to build advanced and modern API-driven web projects. After an overview of modern API patterns and formats (REST, Swagger, hypermedia, HATEOAS, JSON-LD, Hydra, Schema.org, GraphQL...), you'll learn how to use and extend the most popular features of the API Platform API component: Swagger documentation, pagination, validation, sorting, filtering, authentication, authorization, content negotiation, data model generation using the Schema.org vocabulary. Finally, you'll discover how easy it is to use the client-side (JavaScript) toolkit.

• Symfony Messenger by Samuel Rozé, creator of the component

The Messenger component drastically simplifies the use of message buses and handling asynchronous operations using message queues such as RabbitMq. In this workshop, you will learn everything about how to use it from creating and handling messages as a strategy to decouple your application then configure the message routing and asynchronously handle your messages or how to customise and write your own adapters and much more!

• Lightning Fast Tests by Jakub Zalas, Symfony core team member

Learn everything from writing good unit tests, through using test doubles (like stubs or mocks), to writing integration tests. Learn how to structure your project to benefit from a test-first design. Apply the right amount of testing on appropriate levels, write decoupled code, and run your tests in seconds, not hours. The result will look suspiciously close to the hexagonal architecture.
