Hi everyone,
This week we have a new Xdebug update from Derick Rethans, as well as a new beta release from CakePHP. In our articles section we have an updated guide to Laravel package development, an article on doing stricter checks in PHP, and improving Laravel app's performance with Jobs and Queues. In tutorials, if you're a beginner, the guide on how to read CSV files using PHP might interests you. We also have a couple of step by step guides - one for Browsershot and creating a payment gateway for Laravel. Finally in our Reading section, Code with Burt has a new series out and for its premier episode he has Freek Van der Herten as his guest. That's merely a snippet of what he have on offer this week. We do hope you enjoy all the content we've gathered for you in 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].
