Seven Steps to Better PHP code

Developers spend an increasing amount of time maintaining existing code. Refactoring is a technique to make code more readable, maintainable, and extendable by improving the design, but without changing the visible behaviour. Refactoring can be successfully used in conjunction with migrations, bug fixing, when preparing to extend code, or just as an anti-aging measure to keep your code fresh.
This two-part webinar will introduce you to a seven-step refactoring methodology specifically designed for PHP. PHP expert Stefan Priebsch will show you how to successfully apply refactoring to your PHP projects. This makes your code a little better every day, and helps you write better code in the future.

Step 1: Format source code consistently
Step 2: Establish naming conventions
Step 3: Create API documentation
Step 4: Elimimate redundant and duplicated code
Step 5: Shorten code blocks
Step 6: Separate different concerns
Step 7: Replace implementations
