A few months ago we registered for Laracon, the annual conference of the Laravel framework in which BrightAnalytics is developed: an excellent opportunity to learn from the experiences of other people working in the framework.
We started early on Wednesday: at 4 am we left for the airport to catch our flight. Since Laracon started on Thursday, this was an ideal opportunity to fully immerse ourselves in the culture of Madrid. We took a ride on the hop-on-off bus,explored Madrid’s main monuments and visited the Real Madrid football stadium, home to one of the most famous football clubs in the world. We had a beautiful panoramic view from the top of the stadium, definitely a lasting impression!
On Thursday, we left for Laracon for a full day of lectures from people in the Laravel community. The agenda included a variety of presentations ranging from best practices for coding and security, to creating visually appealing applications.
Some highlights we’d like to share:
Besides tapas and drinks we had a lot of food for thought, for example about real-time application design and building multi-tenant applications. A final visit to the Faro de Moncloa treated us to a magnificent view of the city of Madrid, absolutely amazing! You bet we captured the beauty of the city, but we were even more excited to share and put into practice all the insights we gained at the PHP conference in Laracon.
