Hi everyone,
Some people are resistant to change while others welcome transition with open arms. Whether you're the former or the latter, we'd like to welcome you to another week of news, updates and topics on all things PHP. One of the articles this week in the Reading section is about not needing the repository pattern in Laravel, whether you agree with the author, or not you might find the article insightful. We also have a look under the hood of Laravel which discusses Facades, as well a comprehensive guide to the Art of Validation in Laravel. On Podcasts we have new episodes from Maintainable and the topic this week are aspects of good code. Questioning assumptions is the topic of choice for the guys over at Developer Tea. Finally in the Articles section we have an article on what's coming to Laravel 11 which is scheduled to be released on the first quarter of this year. We also have news on a number of Laravel events coming up this year including Laracon EU on our News section. 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.
