Episode description
Change log
- The latest YT short teaches the nullsafe operator in PHP 8
- The PHP login course has been fully coded. This Tuesday on the YouTube Live stream we added the final touches including CSS. I need to write up the lesson plan and record the videos. I’m planning to release the course next year.
- I will be planning the next course live on YouTube in the coming weeks
- There is an idea that I’m toying with to drop the development of the subscriptions for the new hotowocodewell.net site in favour of having one off course purchases. The subscriptions would be added afterwards.
- I am going to be recoding December’s YouTube shorts in the coming days. So if you have any suggestions then do let me know at howtocodewell.fm/contact
