Joe Dev on Tech - Ryan Weaver - Composer
Finding, downloading and using third-party libraries in your PHP project has always been a painful process. So painful that sometimes, re-inventing the wheel feels easier than wrestling someone else's code! Enter Composer: PHP's package manager that makes including third-party libraries fun again.
If you haven't heard of Composer or really haven't had time to play with it yet, now is your chance! This talk will focus on how to use Composer immediately in any PHP project to easily leverage outside libraries that can solve your problems faster. We'll talk about how to find libraries, install them, and even report and fix issues if you find a bug. If you're not using Composer, this talk will change the way you approach problems.
