Hi everyone,
This week, we posted a quote from Andrew Hunt on our social media and he said, "An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.", to which, I fully agree. The best thing about living in this day and age is how accessible knowledge is to everyone with a click of a button. Now whether that knowledge is good or bad, is another story. But, one thing I appreciate about the PHP community is how most people are so open about sharing knowledge and information to others. A big thank you to those who have submitted their articles for this week's newsletter. Special thanks also go out to our sponsors this week. It would really help us out if you could take the time to click on their links.
The final subject of our appreciation is for you, our dear readers. Many thanks for your ongoing support and we hope you enjoy this week's issue.
Do follow us on our social media channels on Twitter and Facebook. If you want to be featured feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
You can connect with me on LinkedIn:

All the best,
Adrian
