Type-Safe PHP

Since version 7, PHP supports significantly more type safety during programming. This means that many errors can be detected during development, before a program is even executed.

In this practice-oriented training, you will learn how to significantly increase the quality of your PHP code using the powerful static analysis tool PHPStan. In interactive live coding, you will learn how to use PHPStan correctly, how to successfully integrate it into your projects, and how to make targeted adjustments to your code. The goal is to sustainably reduce the probability of errors and to increase the maintainability of your projects.
