The course combines carefully produced video lectures and real source code examples to show how the ideas translate into working code. The code is written in PHP by a polyglot developer, and developers familiar with C#, Java, and other similar programming languages will feel at home.

Join us on the next PHPRoundtable as we decode the superheroes behind the scenes in the tech world! No, they don't wear capes (usually), but they're the bridge-builders, the peace-makers, and the tech whisperers. Dive into the enigmatic world of Developer Relations, find out who they are, what magic they weave, and how they keep both sides of the code fence talking. It's 'Relations'... but not the kind you're thinking.

Please consider supporting OSMI and its mission to help those facing mental illness in the tech community. Donate to Open Sourcing Mental IllnessOSMI began in 2013, with Ed Finkler speaking at tech conferences about his personal experiences as a web developer and open-source advocate with a mental health disorder. The response was overwhelming, and thus OSMI was born. OSMI board members and volunteers bring their time and expertise to bear on this important issue by organizing efforts to change the experiences of those with mental health disorders in the tech workplace. This includes speaking at conferences and companies, conducting research, and creating documentation to assist companies in making supportive environments for those impacted by mental health disorders.The PanelEric Van Johnson - https://phparch.social/@ericBen Ramsey - https://phpc.social/@ramseySara Golemon - https://phpc.social/@pollitaJoe Ferguson - https://phpc.social/@joepfergusonTom Rideout - https://twitter.com/RealRideoutBeth Tucker Long  - https://twitter.com/e3BethTEd Finkler - https://phpc.social/@funkatronOther LinksOSMI on Twitter - https://twitter.com/OSMIhelpOSMI on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/osmihelpOSMI on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBF9RcJ2o56UYO3kBqdKlHgOSMI on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company-beta/13196772/e-mail OSMI - [email protected] you can find and follow PHPRoundtableYoutube - https://youtube.com/phproundtableTwitter - https://twitter.com/phproundtableMastodon - https://phparch.social/@phproundtable
