PHP Oxford meetup

This month we are excited to be joined by Peter Fisher (@pfwd) telling us how to "Code with confidence using PHPStan".

"With new projects starting on PHP 8 and the increasing usage of data types and upgrades that PHP 8 brings, the use of static analysis has become increasingly popular. PHPStan has recently released version 1 which includes stricter checks and a pro version that offers more versatility.  For new projects, the use of static analysis is a great tool to keep fresh code clean and conformative, but how can static analysis be used on legacy projects and  how can PHPStan increase our confidence when building upon our code bases?

Peter Fisher is a UK based contract PHP developer.  He has over 20 years experience writing PHP software for small to enterprise clients.

Peter is also the host of How To Code Well, a YouTube channel that has taught developers a wide variety of programming languages.  How To Code Well has a live weekly podcast and Peter is a member of the live coders Twitch team."
