PHP is ok sometimes when you have your eyes closed 🤣

I've never used PHP: should I spend a weekend diving in?

It’s always good to learn something new :) and PHP isn’t going anywhere fast... zend framework is good, or symfony - laravel is basically ‘php on rails’ and very popular in the marketplace, bref is a framework/toolkit for serverless PHP with AWS lambda - phptherightway.com and the php FIG are good places to look for coding standards, how you should write things etc (as PHP will let you do things in a lot of ways that can lead to security, performance and code readability/maintainability issues if you’re not careful!)
