Maintaining your API without losing your mind

[krzysztofrewak]

Talk description

In this presentation, I'll show you how to effectively document your Laravel-based API and ensure that the documentation never goes out of date. You'll learn techniques for keeping your code in sync with the documentation so that your API always meets its stated requirements.

By the end, you'll have the tools to maintain a robust and reliable API without unnecessary headaches.

@krzysztofrewak Thanks for suggesting a talk and thus contributing to our local PHP community!

We have one more meetup this year on December 12, 2024. Traditionally this is our XMAS event and we'll talk about the new PHP 8.4 release.

Your talk would be very welcome, too!

Would you like to give your talk in person in Dresden or remotely via MS Teams, Zoom etc?

If this date does not work for you, the next meetup will be in late January or the beginning of February. We have not laid out our meetup schedule for next year, yet.

Just let me know which date and type of participation would work for you and we make the appointment.

I'm Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cheers,
Holger

Hi! I am based in Legnica, Poland; it's two hours by car to Dresden, so I would love to talk in person and meet you all. Sadly, I have university duties on December 12.

Please let me know when 2025 meetup would be held. :)
