Hi everyone,
This week we have some great news for Laravel and PHP enthusiasts in the UK because Laravel Live is coming to London in June for a two day conference and there will be lots of opportunities to engage and learn with the community in person. We also have CakeFest opening their slots for speakers in their upcoming conference. In our podcast section, if you missed the live feed, you can check out the latest PHPRoundtable episode on the topic of Education on Development. We also have new episodes from Laravel news and the No compromise podcast on things to consider before adding packages on your next project. Finally in our Reading section we have a post on Iterator to save memory and best practices for WordPress theme development. We have all that and more in this week's newsletter, where we curate the best news and information on and about the PHP community.
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].

All the best,
