 ### Error handling
+
+The first package for the project will be an error handler that will provide you with nice errors. A nice error page with a lot of information for debugging goes a long way during development.
+
+I like [filp/whoops](https://github.com/filp/whoops) , so I will show how you can install that package for your project. If you prefer another package, feel free to install that one. This is the beauty of programming without a framework, you have total control over your project.
+
+To install a new package, open up your `composer.json` and add the package to the require part. It should now look like this:
+
+```
+"require": {
+    "php": ">=5.5.0",
+    "filp/whoops": "~1.0"
+},
+```
+
+Now run `composer update` in your console and it will be installed.
+
+But you can't use it yet. PHP won't know where to find the files for the classes. For this you will need an autoloader, ideally a [PSR-4](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4/) autoloader. Composer already takes care of this for you, so you only have to add a `require '../vendor/autoload.php';` to your `Bootstrap.php`.
+
+Now before you start adding the error handler code to the
+
+**Important:** Never show any errors in your production environment. A stack trace or even just a simple error message can help someone to gain access to your system. Always show a user friendly error page instead and send an email to yourself, write to a log or something similar. So only you can see the errors in the production environment.
+
+For development that does not make sense though and you want a nice error page. So the solution is to have an environment switch in your code. For now you can just set it to `development`.
+
+Then after the error handler registration, throw an Exception to test if everything is working correctly. Your `Bootstrap.php` should now look similar to this:
+
+```
+<?php
+
+namespace Example;
+
+require '../vendor/autoload.php';
+
+error_reporting(E_ALL);
+
+$environment = 'development';
+
+/**
+* Register the error handler
+*/
+$woops = new \Whoops\Run;
+if ($environment !== 'production') {
+    $woops->pushHandler(new \Whoops\Handler\PrettyPageHandler);
+} else {
+    $woops->pushHandler(function($e){
+        echo 'Friendly error page and send an email to the developer';
+    });
+}
+$woops->register();
+
+throw new \Exception;
+
+```
