La conférence
Climbing the Abstract Syntax TreeThe new Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) in PHP 7 means the way our PHP code is being executed has changed. Understanding this new fundamental compilation step is key to understanding how our code is being run. To demonstrate, James will show how a basic compiler works and how introducing an AST simplifies this process. We’ll look into how these magical time-warp techniques* can also be used in your code to introspect, analyse and modify code in a way that was never possible before. After seeing this talk, you'll have a great insight as to the wonders of an AST, and how it can be applied to both compilers and userland code. (*actual magic or time-warp not guaranteed) |
How did you discover the PHP AST and what motivates you to talk about it during Forum PHP 2017?
I learnt about the the concept of an AST when Marco Pivetta (Ocramius) suggested we write a library using it to mimic the core reflection API in PHP but using AST instead. It prompted me to learn about lexers, parsers and so on, so my talk aims to help others learn about this really interesting topic.
You speak in a lot of conferences all over the world since few years, how and why did you become a speaker?
I was encouraged to start speaking around 4 years ago; I gave an uncon talk at a PHP NorthWest conference and got the « bug » for it. I really enjoy showing and teaching others topics that interest me, and speaking at conferences around the world has allowed me to meet lots of great folks.
I think it will be your first talk in France. Do you know the French community and have you some apprehension?
This will indeed be my first talk in France! I think I know a few folks from the French PHP community, but I’m excited to meet more folks in Paris!
You are in the organisation team of the PHP South Coast. Could you tell us more about it?
I am, but sadly the last PHP South Coast happened in June this year; we started it in 2015 as a collaboration between three user groups on the south coast (PHP Hampshire, Brighton PHP and PHP Dorset) and then in 2016 we incorporated three more user groups. It was a really great small community conference and we had a blast putting on the show. Perhaps someone else will take over one day, you never know 😉
