By the time this newsletter gets published, we will hopefully have the new PHP 8.2 release, and if you're unfamiliar with the new features, or just want to brush up on what's in store with this release, feel free to go over our previous newsletters by clicking here. For this week's issue, we have new updates from Xdebug, PHP Storm and CakePHP. We also have plenty of topics on our podcast section with new episodes from PHP Ugly, North Meets South and The Laravel News podcast. Finally, for our Reading section we have PHP Types Tips and Tricks, A guide to choose which version of Symfony to choose for your project, and the hidden cost of Software automation.
We do 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].
