Nix for PHP Developers (and everyone else)

Thanks for giving a talk to #techmids2025 yesterday; I found your Nix talk interesting ... (I'd only ever heard a bit about Nix before, so at least I have a slight clue about it now!)

TechMids attendee.

Hey Oliver, thanks for travelling all the way over from Wales! We had a great time learning about About Nix!

PHP Sussex attendee.

Abstract

Nix is a package manager with more than 120,000 packages, an operating system with more than 20,000 options, and a build tool for creating reproducible and reliable software that works the same for everyone, every time.

In this talk, Oliver will explain what Nix is, show how to create development shells for PHP that mean you no longer need to use containers or virtual machines, and how to package PHP applications that are easy to deploy and distribute.
