The keynote for this year's SCD Tech Day not only offers a look back at the events of the past year. Mark Stanley and Daniel Nögel will also provide insights into current projects, talk about the future and their visions for Shopware. And of course it's also about you, our community. What were your achievements of the past year, what will the future bring.
In this talk, Miriam invites you to gain insight into exciting projects with Composable Frontends. Learn how Storybook can be seamlessly integrated into a component-based development process and the advantages it brings, as well as the challenges that must be overcome. Additionally, she will show you how the shopware B2B components are integrated into a Composable Frontends project and how the new API client can be extended to support custom store API endpoints.
When you start working with a specific software, your level of knowledge is initially 0 or, at the very least, at a low point. As time progresses, you accumulate expertise, evolving into a professional with a wealth of knowledge. However, when the "unexpected" end of life for a software is announced, you find yourself facing the abrupt loss of your once invaluable 100% knowledge. The impact extends beyond that; it severs the ties with your community – the group of peoples with whom you shared challenges, successes, and countless experiences. This important moment demands a decision on a new system, beginning a journey of acquainting yourself with not only the new software but also with a fresh set of individuals. It's a reset, a new beginning – both with the software and the community that surrounds it. In my own journey, I transitioned from Magento 1 to Shopware 6. In this presentation, I will share the obstacles, challenges, and opportunities that emerged along this transformative path.
If you want to be sure that your software works properly, you need to test it continuously. Automated tests save you from constantly pressing F5 in the browser and using debug statements like var_dump() in your code.
They're also cheaper than manual tests and easier to implement than you might think. How do I test my code with as little effort as possible? How do I execute as few lines of code as possible to test what I'm really interested in? And what does all this have to do with clean code? In this talk you will learn why PHPUnit should not be missing in your toolbox.
Everyone knows PayPal. But who are the people behind the company? What technology does it use? And how are new products developed? Two leading development engineers will be on stage to answer the community's most interesting questions, which were collected by us. Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the technological marvel PayPal, which powers millions of transactions around the world.
The Shopware App-System has one or two challenges in store. In this talk, two core developers from Shopware show tips and tricks that will make your life easier. The talk will not be all theory, Lennart and Max have developed an app especially for this talk to show you how to avoid common pitfalls.
"Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much."
— Helen Keller
A group of committed people can reach remarkable results, which could never be achived by individuals alone. There is a powerful strength when individuals decide to "walk together" towards the same goal. There are incredible opportunities for us, as a Shopware community, to be a vibrant community, learn from each other, grow our ecosystem and achieve the extraordinary in the e-commerce world.
The more we engage to the community, the stronger Shopware will become.
This talk will present you some ways of effectively engage to the community.
- Blogposts - Open Source Plugins - Slack - StackOverflow - Documentation - Shopware Feedback - Translation - Events: meetups, hackathons, unconferences
Building and working in tech is hard & rewarding. whatTheFunc() leans into all of those dropped databases, releases that go “Boom!”, and the general mayhem that we find in this business… but with an eye on the successes that come from overcoming adversity and shipping amazing things.
The challenge cup is back! The community and Shopware compete against each other to prove who owns the honor of the wooden Cody. This year's all about historical knowledge and a sense of time. Together, we will experience a little trip into our shared past and exciting entertainment.

Real-life success stories will illustrate how this approach can lead to more efficient and sustainable architectures, ultimately reducing the burden of ongoing maintenance.
