Overview for events

It’s getting closer to September, which means that it’s almost time for the Macmillan Coffee morning at Dock.

As you may know, us here at Viva IT are die-hard supporters of Symfony2. We love the way it works with our code, and our clients love it as so much of the boilerplate functionality is pre-built and managed. When the opportunity arose, we just couldn’t resist going to Symfony Live in London this year.

When we found the Symfony2 framework back in 2013, we could see the power and potential it could have to the PHP community.

Admittedly, we were a little bit nervous to hold our first lecture, but what better subject than a mini-round-up of the PHP frameworks that we have used, including a quick introduction as to why we love Symfony?

On the 1st and 2nd of March, we attended the Leicester Civic Hack weekend, our good friends at Dock provided the location and excellent catering for the event. We went along primed to get stuck in, eager to use our development techniques, expertise and technology to inspire and ultimately produce something functional.

It's not all work here at the Viva IT offices. We're strong believers in being part of the community, so we took a break from our busy schedule of SCRUMing, developing, and testing to go to the monthly Symfony London meet-up.
