SymfonyCon Vienna 2024: From Pickles to Pie: Sweeten Your PHP Extension Installs
October 2, 2024 • Published by Eloïse Charrier
SymfonyCon Vienna 2024, our next annual international Symfony conference, will take place on:
- December 3 & 4: Two days of hands-on workshops to learn, practice, and enhance your skills in small groups.
- December 5 & 6: Three English-speaking tracks with over 35 outstanding speakers, an Unconference track, and a lively community evening.
🎤 New speaker announcement!
We are super happy to announce our next speaker: Andreas Braun (@alcaeus), Lead Engineer, MongoDB, will present the topic "From Pickles to Pie: Sweeten Your PHP Extension Installs":
"What started out as a sweet PEAR is now a sour PECL, and after many years of dealing with brined cucumbers it’s time to dish out some sweet new tools. Join us for a trip down memory lane as we take a look at the acquired taste of PHP extensions and their challenges from writing and publishing them to finally handling the installation procedure you are all too familiar with.
The talk will give you an insight into an effort by the PHP foundation to bake a new PHP Installer for Extensions and how it will solve some of the challenges of dealing with PHP extensions."
