Hi everyone,
This week we have some firsts for the year starting off with the first PHP Annotated for January. There's also the first PHPArchitect podcast for the year so do check them out. There are new releases from laravel and the last release candidate from PHPStorm. In tutorials we have guides for Laravel container, PHP codesniffer, and optimising queries with the WhereRelation method on video. Finally in our Reading section we have two articles on helping secure your website using Finite State machines, regex md5 checksum and PHP.
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].
