An Introduction to deployment with Capistrano 3

New speaker, Thom Kelly, from Ardmore will be showing us the basics of moving away from (S)FTP deployments to automated deployment using Capistrano 3. If you still manually move files to your server, then you need to come to this talk.

Creating your own *.phar packages

PHP Archive (*.phar) files have been around for sometime, but their use for sharing and easily including has become much more prevalent over the past couple of years. Composer is probably the best known example of such an archive.

David Frame, from 31 Interactive will be showing us how we can package up our own command utilities into easily distributed and re-usable phar files.
