Explore building PHP applications with Zend Expressive 2 in this conference talk from PHP UK Conference 2018. Learn about the framework's architecture, middleware system, and PSR-15 specification implementation. Discover how to set up an application, handle routing and errors, and architect scalable projects. Dive into topics such as the framework core, ecosystem-agnostic router, middleware pipeline, and directory structure. Follow along as the speaker demonstrates creating routes, handlers, and templates, implementing dependency injection, and validating request data. By the end, gain the knowledge to create your own Expressive applications that can adapt to various project sizes and requirements.
