PHP Starter Day
The PHP Starter Day is for everyone who already knows the basics of coding and who want professionalize their PHP knowledge. It is for the Webdesigner, who has to do the coding by himself. The Freelancer, who wants to become more professional. For those who switch from other coding-languages to PHP.

What you will get from the PHP Starter Day
To make a smooth start into the world of PHP and to get the professional basics for your career, we bring up the PHP Starter Day. Attendees will experience a unique mixture of sessions and workshops and will get to know the basics for their professional PHP projects:
- Version Control
- Documentation
- Debugging
- Security Basics
- Best Practises
Our experts will not only talk about what that means and what you need this for – they will introduce the most common tools and best practices, so attendees can start right off in real life.
During the sessions and workshops you will be coached by at least two trainers the same time – of course no one can be an expert on all the details at once. Thus, we are able to cover the hole spectrum of PHP with professional knowledge by experienced experts. This concept is based on the Entwickler Akademie's PHP Code Camp and PHP Security Camp – no wonder, since some of the experts are known as experienced trainers, here!
