Hi everyone,
If you're looking for after Symfony content, you're in luck. In this week's newsletter we have some articles on Symfony along with news on a new update on 7.1. We have a tutorial on how to extend your Symfony console app with events and attributes, along with a guide on how to use the new Symfony Maker command to work with GitHub webhooks. We also have an article on parameter replacement in Symfony. In podcasts we have new episodes from North Meets South and they chat about what they're into. Taylor Otwell joins the Mostly Technical team to discuss the Laravel vs JS Twitter wars, and on the Laravel podcast Taylor is with Matt to cover topics suggested by their listeners. Finally in our Reading section we have lesser known yet useful Composer commands, as well as an article on Architecture testing in Laravel with pest. We have all that and more, so we do hope you enjoy this week's newsletter.
