I hope everyone is having a great summer and able to take some time off! After a few meh summers, we've been enjoying some 90+ degree days in Cleveland, Ohio, and it's wonderful. I always see summer as a bit of a break from the normal coding routine, a chance to get outside of our heads and clear my mind -- a bit like starting a new year. Anyone relate? This Segment is about a new feature available in PHP 8.3. But first, a word from our sponsor: Sponsored by Portless Skip the ship, unlock...

Wow, it's already Spring! I'm always amazed at how fast at how fast the second quarter of the year gets here. At the end of each year, I typically do a lot of thinking and planning as to what I really want to do in the next year.

I'll be sending out a few emails this week to teach some concepts about RabbitMQ & Magento. If you'd rather not receive them, simply remove yourself from these emails. What do you do when a plugin doesn't work? Think you can always use a Magento plugin to modify a public function? Think again. Even though functions with a public visibility can be easily plugged into, there are situations where they just wonβt do what you want them to do. In the Magento Message Queues with RabbitMQ course,...

I'll be sending out a few emails this week to teach some concepts about RabbitMQ & Magento. If you'd rather not receive them, simply remove yourself from these emails. I spent over 20 hours on the first lesson of my RabbitMQ course π But I thought it was necessary, because I assume you are a Magento dev, but may not know anything about message queues. Iβve seen my fair share of complex terminology in my days, but nothing quite like this. Messages, queues, producers, consumers, β¦ok, Iβm...
