Let's continue our new tradition of interviewing interesting people - today I have Jeff Madsen who is really active on Twitter and on his Laravel newsletter, which we will talk about in a minute. He's also written a couple of books and has a lot of tips - both on coding and on freelancing. And on life in general. Let's talk to Jeff!
We have another interview with an active PHP community member! Bruno Škvorc is a PHP developer and an editor at the popular SitePoint. I decided to ask him about his career, coding and writing about code. Also we talk about freelancing success and predictions for PHP market future. Let's dive in!
Quick tip for you guys today. Maybe you already know that, but for some of you this might be useful. Did you know that make:migration command has optional parameters --create and --table?
Today we’re talking with Freek Van der Herten - a developer and a partner at Spatie - company from Belgium which is hugely active in Laravel community: they’ve created around 80 packages which are available for free (now it’s postcardware) on Github. I was always interested in the business side of it - how do they make time for such a huge amount of open-source work?
In this chapter of my e-book let’s take on the "holy war" between frameworks. I’m not kidding here - developers actually fight (verbally only, I hope) with each other about what framework to use.
There is a new interesting project on the market - a map of developers. Started as a Laramap by Florian Wartner, now it became a broader project, presenting to you PHPMap.co!
Yes, you've read it right - thoughts and feelings, not review or recap. This article will be filled with emotions, cause that was my first Laracon and for me it was a lot of new thing, meeting people etc.
(Guest post by Oliver Hermanni) Some days ago Povilas wrote a post why it's bad to code PHP on Windows. He got quite a lot of comments there and on Twitter - and to be honest, not all of them where nice. Unfortunately this is a regular problem - Apple users tend to overreact when it's about Windows. I'm not sure, if most of them ever worked with Windows or why it's still cool to hate it.
The name PyroCMS is not new on the market - it was actually created as a CodeIgniter-based system and became quite popular. And recently the shift was made - the whole system was re-created into Laravel framework. So what do we have with a new PyroCMS 3?
New video on my Youtube channel Laravel Business - today I want to talk about what to talk about (ironical, right) with the client before the beginning of the project. Usually those conversations save huuuuge amount of time (and potential failures) in process of the project.
