4. Ievgen Kuzminov http://stdout.in @iJackUA 6 years in PHP 2 years in Ruby Currently: Ruby Team Lead in MobiDev Author of http://rwdtow.stdout.in
5. How to start a rant? http://stdout.in/en/post/ruby-ecosystem-bitte rsweet-or-we-like-to-hate-php
6. Healthy ecosystem: ▣ Frameworks pluralism ▣ Libraries agnosticism ▣ Tools, that just work
7. Recent decade of The Web Dev
8. ‘’ Vicious circle of demand
9. 1) Symfony 2) Laravel 3) Yii 4) Slim ... How many framework are in production? 1) Ruby on Rails ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
10. Frameworks are cheating! ▣ Do not teach to write better code ▣ Teach to use the framework only ▣ “In which folder should I put this class?”
11. What is it ? (Uncle Bob)
12. ▣ Framework ▣ CMS ▣ Library Have you ever written your OWN...
13. ▣ Learn the other language to get better view on your “native” one ▣ Traits/mixins are not “composition” ▣ Now I consider OOP as an “issue” I thought I knew OOP
14. ▣ Not an end in itself, but the criterion ▣ Harder to follow with dynamic composition ▣ Dependency Injection. WAT ? SOLID
16. ...or they don't have a chance because people can't look further the Rails monster. (C)
17. Evolution and Performance
18. PHP FIG Community and Standards
19. ▣ Composer ▣ The League of Extraordinary Packages ▣ Aura for PHP Packages ▣ Bundler / Gems ▣ Dry-Web
20. Monkey-patching What is it? Example: 5.minutes.ago vs TimeMath.minutes.decrease(Time.now, 5)
21. Ruby or Rails? Array ▣ first ▣ second ▣ last ▣ second_to_last ▣ third_to_last ▣ forty_two
22. Syntax, DSL, metaprogramming Ruby has less parenthesis and formatting issues. Can handle DSL and metaprogramming. PHP has less possibilities… and that’s fine! Who cares when your IDE has autocomplete.
23. ▣ PSR-4 rules! Modules and Namespaces ▣ Constants autoload hell
24. ▣ Zend Expressive ▣ Slim ▣ Laravel ▣ ... Middlewares
25. Architecture inspiration Sandi Metz Nick Sutterer
26. The Clean Architecture by Uncle Bob
27. Trailblazer
28. Business logic architecture in PHP ▣ MVC is not enough ▣ Dependency Injection is not a silver bullet ▣ DCI ▣ CQRS (https://github.com/qandidate-labs/broadway) ▣ ?
29. Learn SQL. I mean it! ORM vs SQL
30. Where Ruby outperforms PHP Background jobs and queues
31. Where PHP outperforms Ruby Code debug
32. ▣ PHPUnit ▣ Codeception ▣ Just recently became “a must” ▣ Who write tests? Automated testing ▣ Minitest / RSpec ▣ Capybara ▣ Propagated by Rails ▣ “TDD is dead” © DHH
33. Ideal PHP world for me ▣ Simple and reliable frameworks ▣ Agnostic middlewares ▣ Architectural framework ▣ Loosely-coupled tools/libs
34. “Haters gonna hate” (C) Break bad! Change the paradigm! Elixir, Go, Closure…
