3. This talk is about managing code frameworks, shared code, dependencies,

   things don’t have to be painful

10. Frameworks include everything from the get go

12. Enter Composer

13. Composer describes a package, and what it needs to run

14. { “name”: “icit/wp-less”, “require”: { "php": ">=5.2.4", "leafo/lessphp": "0.4.0" }

    }

15. Installing Composer https://getcomposer.org/download/ ( Already installed with vvv )

16. To install dependencies > composer install

17. None

18. To update dependencies > composer update

19. Dependencies get put in a vendor/ folder An autoloader is

    provided so there are no require/includes

20. Packagist The PHP world has a headstart on us

21. For packages not on Packagist { "repositories": [ { "type":

    "git", "url": "https://github.com/leafo/lessphp.git" } ], ...etc... }
