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:

Marine Gandy, DevRel Engineer, Platform.sh will present "Regex: demystifying the hieroglyphics" on December 8th:

"While regular expressions can certainly look like hieroglyphics, once you understand the basics, you can unlock massive amounts of power in your searches and work.

You're working with some data and find yourself needing to find a specific piece of information, but your searches keep matching things that you don’t want. While basic searches are fine for some things, every once in a while you need something more powerful.

Enter regular expressions (also referred to as "regex"). BUT WAIT! Before you scroll to the next session description: did you know that this powerful searching capability is available in things like Word and Excel, as well as Google Search Console and Google Analytics? And not only can you use it to search for information, you can also use it to transform information!

In this session, we'll jump into a brief history of regex, discuss pattern matching, and dive into the fundamentals of how we can use regex to surface the data we've been searching for in powerful ways"
