Open Tech Calendar

Our July Meetup will be 2 lightning talks (see details below). Allowing some time for discussion afterwards, we expect the evening to run from 7:30 to 9pm.

Confirmed talks are:

• DevOps in PHP, David Amanshia [Cancelled]
- Apologies, due to unforeseen circumstances David's talk has been cancelled-

We are PHP Developers, we make applications. Those applications run on Infrastructure. The "industry" says we should be building that Infrastructure as Code.
A session on how we can build Servers, Virtual Machines, Deployments, Testing and Builds in PHP Code we already know. Automating it all into a button.

• An Introduction to Vagrant, Liam Mclaney
We'll go through what Vagrant is, why you should use it, how to set it up and how you'd use it daily

• Functional testing with Behat, Simon Jones
How to run automated functional tests on your web application with Behat, the behaviour-driven testing framework.

We're meeting 7pm for a 7:30pm start. As usual the night is sponsored by local digital agency Studio 24 (www.studio24.net).
