Hi everyone,
There comes a time in a developer's life when they have to come out and mingle with others from their field. What better way to do it than to attend an event, and this week Laracon US just announced their schedule, so if you're near Nashville and in the mood to socialise, do check out their schedule. If you prefer the comfort of your own space and just want to listen to a podcast, This week we have new episodes from Laravel News on Queries and sinking downloads. Over at No Compromises, they get nerdy on the subject of different ways to test record creation. For those of you that are beginning your journey with PHP we have beginner-friendly content this week that will provide you with a solid foundation in understanding the basics of PHP. Finally in Tutorials, we have a guide on how to send bulk emails in Laravel 10 using a feature from Mailgun, as well as building a complete CRUD application also in Laravel 10. We have all that and more, so we do hope you enjoy this week's newsletter. If you're a student or developer on the move and want the latest PHP news and updates in one place, then subscribe to PHPWeekly.
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,
Adrian
