Title: Exploring Dependency Injection
Speaker: Alena Holligan
Description: What’s the difference between service location and dependency injection? Why is this dependency injection thing such a big deal anyway, and how do you use that tool correctly? Answering these questions and more, including real-world examples of refactoring an application toward the more explicit, testable, closer-to-SOLID applications.

To get there:
Enter the Pioneer Place mall on SW 5th Avenue and SW Morrison and head to the 3rd floor, look for the WeWork offices.
Photo ID will be required to enter the venue, there should be folks at the front desk to help.

Join us for a night of live coding, walking through some of the testing features that come out of the box with Laravel. See how we can go from a brand new project to a simple app with a code coverage report. If you are new to Laravel, TDD, or testing in general, you'll not want to miss this talk. While some of this code will be Laravel specific (there's so much included to help make PHP Unit even better than it already is) general testing practices will be discussed. Who: Kurtis Holsapple is a Portland based software engineer, and loves Laravel. He's been writing PHP (and more) for over 15 years.

This month we are trying out a new event space, be sure to RSVP and arrive with photo ID so that you can check in!
