Dependency Management

All software has dependencies, such as frameworks and libraries. New versions with security fixes, bug fixes or new features are regularly released for these dependencies. A new version is not always fully compatible with its predecessor.

How do we know in good time whether the new version of a dependency is problematic or not? How do we decouple our own code from the code of the dependencies so that we avoid problems during testing and pain during updates?

This training covers best practices for dealing with dependencies and covers the advanced use of Composer in real projects.
