[ 05 Key Takeaways ](#key-takeaways) Watch Three PHP Experts Build a Social Network Live in 48 Hours --------------------------------------------------------------- Nuno Maduro has announced an ambitious two-day live stream event: building a complete social network in PHP in just 48 hours, broadcast live from the JetBrains office. Joining Nuno are two well-known members of the PHP community — Brent Roose (`@brendt_gd`) and Matthieu Napoli (`@matthieunapoli`) — collectively dubbed the **Ternary Brothers**. Together, the trio will design, architect, and ship a working social network application from scratch over the course of two consecutive days. Why This Live Stream Is Worth Your Time --------------------------------------- Live coding events like this are rare, and what makes this one particularly valuable is the unscripted decision-making on display. You will see three experienced PHP developers: - Deciding in real time **what features to build** and what to cut - Making **architectural trade-offs** under time pressure - Handling unexpected problems as they arise - Demonstrating professional PHP workflows and tooling There are no rehearsed demos here. The messiness, the pivots, and the reasoning behind every decision are all part of the experience — and that is exactly what makes watching senior developers work so instructive. Event Details ------------- | | | |---|---| | **Day 1** | October 15, 2026 | | **Day 2** | October 16, 2026 | | **Location** | JetBrains office (live streamed on YouTube) | ### Direct Live Stream Links - [Day 1 — October 15th](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zCNQa3hNm0) - [Day 2 — October 16th](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfmVdXZfzUE) Add both sessions to your calendar now so you do not miss the start. Key Takeaways ------------- - **Real-world PHP development** is on full display — no slides, no polished demos - **Nuno Maduro**, **Brent Roose**, and **Matthieu Napoli** are three of the most respected voices in the PHP ecosystem - The event streams live from the **JetBrains office**, making it a notable collaboration between the PHP community and a major tooling vendor - Watching experienced developers make **scope and architecture decisions under pressure** is one of the best learning opportunities available - Both days are free to watch on **YouTube** Whether you are a Laravel developer, a PHP generalist, or simply curious about how seasoned engineers approach a greenfield project at speed, this live stream is well worth blocking out time for. --- *Source: [Laravel News — Live Stream: Building a Social Network in PHP in 48 Hours](https://laravel-news.com/social-network-php-48-hours)* Found this useful?
