"We are excited to see all of you again here at Belgrade Fair, a PHP Serbia home, so to speak. Here we are, at the very long expected SOLIDay, the biggest PHP conference in Serbia ever...."

 

This is how it all started in the morning of Saturday 30 May. More than 450 attendees from 10 different countries had a very high expectations to learn and exchange their knowlegde on the very hot topic in the world of modern development, called SOLID. Our primary goal was to increase understanding on SOLID principles we all keep hearing about. We really hope the conference was informative, worthwile and that all of you had a great time there as much as we, PHP Serbia team, did.

 

Since all videos are ready (yes, we didn't forget our promise :)), this is supposed to be a full recap of all the talks. And if you didn't manage to visit the conference, the following materials should fix it.
