Speaker: Micah Wood
Every developer makes mistakes and writes code a bit differently. While coding standards make it possible to have consistent formatting and easy-to-read code, they can also help developers avoid common mistakes.
All too often, development teams add new hires to their ranks without providing any guidelines around code formatting, what PHP version they should code against, when to use escaping functions, how to document the code, general coding best practices, etc. A failure to define a set of coding standards for your team means that you will spend more time reading code, troubleshooting avoidable bugs, and correcting security issues.
This session is designed to teach developers how to set up coding standards for their projects, how to configure auto-formatting, and how to get buy-in from new developers when onboarding.
