Modern front-end with the eyes of a PHP developer - Dutch PHP Conference 2014

Modern front-end with the eyes of a PHP developer - Dutch PHP Conference 2014

Unless you're lucky (?) enough to work with PHP only, chances there that you deal also with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In the wild, PHP developers are supposed to know and be proficient at front-end too. For this reason, we should stay up-to-date and efficient in this field. Front-end is heavily changed in the last 2 years due to the introduction and the growth of tools like Grunt, Bower and Yeoman.

In this talk, you'll discover what they are and how they can help you to enhance your workflow, paying attention to highlight the similarities and the differences with their task-related PHP software.

  24. CONSIDERATIONS You're mixing different environments (will you lint your JS

    via PHP ?) It doesn't come with all you need (e.g. the YUI compressor) Several filters aren't from the official vendors (e.g. JSLint) Several filters are just wrapper for Node.js modules (e.g. JSHint) Front-end engineers have less control over the process ...and they should understand PHP Make harder to optmize performance (multiple places to look)
