NativePHP

Are you playing around with NativePHP yet? If not: it's a very cool project that allows you to write native mobile, desktop, watch (and more? Later?) apps in Laravel-flavored PHP. I recently released my first plugin for it! You can now show live activities in Dynamic Island on iOS or as a notification in Android... by writing PHP 🤯 Wild Find it here: https://lnkd.in/e-B3FmfV

Let me do a quick introduction once again here Hi, My name is Daniel Mabadeje and I am one of the Co organizers/founders of PHPTalks. PHPTALKS is a community where we discuss everything from basic to complex concepts in programming using PHP. Elisha Ukpong Stephen Jude and I have been running this community since 2023 and it has grown to be one of the biggest -- I dare say the biggest PHP community in Africa You have probably seen me repost a lot of content from our community tagged “PHPConnect”. PHPConnect is our annual flagship physical event where we get to talk about PHP. we get to onboard more people into the PHP ecosystem and bridge the gap between people who have no idea about PHP with people who have have real life experience building solutions with PHP. Over the years we have had brands support this initiative including PHPSandbox, Litehost, AGnimble, ServiceMe, NativePHP who gave the community a 1000 max licenses to build mobile apps. This year we have The PHP Foundation JetBrains, and still the other brands mentioned above, through partnership support what we do. We are hosting this year as a free virtual meetup where we deliver the same quality of event but from a studio. This means you can join us from anywhere in the world. The date is the 3rd of October 2026 Our amazing speakers are: Derick Rethans who is going to walk us through PHP Internals. If you have ever wondered how PHP broadly works under the hood, This session is for you. Elizabeth Barron will be talking about the PHPFoundations work and how you can be a part of the PHP ecosystem even as a beginner Bosun Egberinde will be talking about Engineer and the loop, he will be talking on the modern day engineer and how the engineer used AI in his/her daily development activity Shane Rosenthal will be talking on — actually a hands-on session on Building Native Apps with PHP. He’ll take us through building a mobile app from scratch with hot reloading, syncing, and deployment all the way to the App Store. If you’re not aware, you can build mobile and desktop apps with PHP now!! Paul Adams Ohiani is speaking on Building an AI-Powered E2E Testing Platform. He’ll walk us through why testing matters more than ever in the age of AI and vibe coding, and how to build reliable, battle-tested end-to-end tests for real-world applications. Jesutomiwa Salam will be speaking on Engineering in the Age of Abstraction. He’ll explore what it means to be an engineer in the AI era, and why research, reasoning, and strong engineering fundamentals still matter when building products in unfamiliar domains. Alexander Garuba is speaking on From Prompt to Production: Building Better Software with AI, exploring how developers can use AI to build, debug, test, and solve problems faster while still making sound engineering decisions and understanding the code they ship.
