Hi everyone,
Hope you're all doing well. The release of PHP 8.2 is just around the corner, and if you need to know all the new features we have an article from Freek.dev and if you prefer to watch it on video Brent Roose has you covered in the latest episode of PHP Annotated on YouTube. The 6th release candidate for PHP 8.2 is also out, as well as new releases from PHPStan. In podcasts, we have new episodes from No compromises and North Meets South, and a discussion about the hard week that has hit the tech world over at The Stack Overflow. Finally, in the reading section we have an interesting article about how development history keeps on repeating itself. It's worth the read if you have the time.
We hope you enjoy this week's newsletter. If you have an article, tutorial or podcast that you would like to be featured in our newsletter, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Do follow us on our social media channels on Twitter and Facebook. You can connect with me on LinkedIn:
