-Great! You’ve built your website, and now you just need to deploy it. There are
-various ways that this could be done - from (S)FTP, to SCP and rsync, to running
-commands like `git pull` and `composer install` directly on the server which is
-not ideal.
-
-As well provisioning and maintaining your server configuration and running
-commands, you can also use [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com) to deploy your PHP
-application - leveraging relevant Ansible modules such as Git and Composer,
-custom Ansible roles,
-[Ansible Vault](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/vault.html)
-for managing secrets, and features such as idempotency out of the box to build a
-simple deployment playbook.
-
-We can then extend that and make it more robust by adding
-[Ansistrano](https://ansistrano.com) - a port of
-[Capistrano](https://capistranorb.com) - which adds extra features such as
-storing multiple builds for each project and the ability to roll-back if needed,
-customising your build steps using built-in hooks, multi-stage environments and
-more.
-
-I've been using Ansible and Ansistrano to deploy a variety of PHP projects -
-including Drupal 7 & 8, Symfony, Laravel and Sculpin, as well as basic HTML
-websites, and found it to be very flexible and easy to install and use, and by
-the end of this talk we will have a fully working deployment playbook, deploying
-real code onto a real server.

-Recently whilst I was involved in rebuilding an agency website, I started
-looking for a way to list our supported contrib projects from Drupal.org
-including information such as each project’s download and star count - similar
-to how I’d seen on other websites for their PHP projects on GitHub.
-
-This led me down a path of modern PHP development practices - firstly developing
-a separate PHP library for interacting with Drupal.org, and then writing a
-custom Drupal module that allowed the library to be configurable, as well as
-making use of Drupal’s user roles and permissions, routing and caching.
-
-I then also found another use-case for this library, to display the
-Drupalversary date for a user - i.e. when they created their account on
-Drupal.org - and to display a message if the current day was a user's
-Drupalversary.
-
-In this talk, I explain the approach that I took and some and the benefits of
-splitting code into separate packages, I'll demo the library itself before
-moving on to look at the code for and demo the Drupal modules that leverage it.

-Things we’ll cover:
-
-- Advantages and disadvantages to utility based styling and Tailwind.
-- How to install Tailwind and add it to your build process using tools such as
-  Symfony Encore and Laravel Mix.
-- How to configure and customise Tailwind for your project.
-- How to promote repeating classes into re-usable components for better
-  maintainability.
-- Strategies to control the file size, and using external tools like PurgeCSS.
-
-Also, if time allows:
-
-- How to extend Tailwind and add extra classes with community written plugins.
-- How to write and test your own custom plugins.

-
-Testing is important. Why? It allows developers to add new features and edit and
-refactor existing code without the worry of adding regressions, reduces the
-reliance on manual testing to discover bugs, and by taking a test driven
-approach, your implementation code is leaner as you only write what is needed
-for your tests to pass.
-
-Drupal 7 includes the SimpleTest module for unit and functional testing, whilst
-Drupal 8 also includes and supports PHPUnit - the defacto PHP testing framework,
-used by other PHP projects including Symfony and Laravel - making it easier for
-people to test their code. And with testing being one of the Drupal core gates
-with tests needing to be included with every new feature or bug fix, and core’s
-100% pass rate policy, testing has become an essential skill when contributing
-to core, or when working on your own projects.
-
-In this talk, we’ll cover the methodology and terminology involved with
-automated testing, and then take a test driven approach to creating a new Drupal
-module.

-Laravel's [Illuminate Collections](https://laravel.com/docs/collections) are a
-powerful object-orientated way of interacting with PHP arrays, but did you know
-that they can be used outside of Laravel, in any PHP project?
-
-This short talk shows how we can use Composer to include Illuminate Collections
-within a non-Laravel project and put them to use within your own code.
