🎤 New speaker announcement!

We are thrilled to announce that the schedule is now complete following the publication of our partner's track: Platform.sh, the Official PaaS of Symfony! Discover below one of the topics that will be proposed to you in this track:

Paul Gilzow, (@gilzow), Developer Relations Engineer, Platform Sh, will present Github Actions 101: your 1st action on December 8th:

"We all know we should be doing more automation of our software development lifecycle, but getting started can be challenging. Even if you have experience in continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) automation, learning a specific platform’s terminology and idiosyncrasies can be frustrating.

This presentation is designed to provide an overview of GitHub Actions, a CI/CD platform that allows you to automate your build, test and deployment pipelines, and writing one’s first action, a reusable component that can automate repeatable tasks. We’ll start by going over key terms and concepts in the GitHub Actions platform, such as actions, workflows, events and jobs, and explain how they can be pieced together to build robust and dynamic automations.

Then, we’ll dive into the process of building your first GitHub Action, walking through the steps of creating a new action, the types of actions you can create, defining inputs and outputs, and required properties. We’ll then work together to build an action that can be immediately used in your own workflows.

Whether you’re a seasoned developer looking to move to GitHub Actions or a newcomer to automation looking to get started with your first CI/CD automation, this presentation will help jumpstart your journey."
