Last week, I attended the "Forum PHP 2024." \0/

What is Forum PHP?

Forum PHP 2024 is the biggest PHP event organized by the French PHP user group (AFUP) each year.

While most talks are in French, a few are in English.

As usual, very inspiring topics and great feedbacks.

State of the art

It's not an exhaustive list, but you might find the following topics interesting:

• malware sandbox in PHP
• AAA syntax for unit tests
• AGILE and shape-up
• PHP parallel
• static analysis
• monads
• AI for PHP developers
• Symfony 7
• Enums
• webhooks at scale
• circuit breaker pattern
• API automapping
• ZDD (Zero Downtime Deployment)

Is PHP super old or very mature?

Next year, PHP will be 30!

Such event shows the community is very mature, and I particularly appreciated the feedback from the speakers.

It's the first time I see such concrete use of the circuit-breaker pattern.

I must admit I did not know the concept of monads before.
