Yann Larivée: PHP et le Web Platform Installer
Nous discutons avec Yann Larivée du langage PHP et du Web Platform Installer. PHP est un langage de scripts libre principalement utilisé pour produire des pages Web dynamiques via un serveur HTTP. Le Web Platform Installer est un outil très simple pour automatiser le déploiement de solution Web sur l'infrastructure de Microsoft.
Yann Larivée est architecte web et chef d'équipe sur des projets utilisant la plateforme de programmation PHP. Il est fondateur de PHP Québec, de FooLab et de la première édition de la Conférence ConFoo. La Conférence ConFoo est une initiative conjointe de PHP Québec, Montréal-Python, Ruby Montréal, W3Qc, et OWASP Montréal.
