Jul 24, 2019 - PHP MVC, Git, Sass, CSS Grid, Manjaro...
Recently I've been busy learning the principles of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern in PHP and utilising these on some personal and work projects.
One work example is DeligoHub - an Intranet currently serving 40 users. Read more in the Projects section.
Personal examples are complete re-developments of this portfolio site and soemo.co.uk. This will currently keep me busy for a long while especially as in Web development it can be difficult to take a break from learning and get on with actually applying what you have learnt on projects.
I have also got to grips with the basics of Git (all my main projects going forward now get added to private repositories on GitLab), Composer, SASS and CSS Grid Layout.
Resources I have found helpful and will continue to follow are:
- Codecourse
- Traversy Media
- Dave Hollingworth
- Laracasts
- CSS-Tricks
Also I now used Manjaro XFCE Edition as my operating system at work as well as home, which has certainly been a positive change from Windows 7 and 10.
For my IDE I still use PhpStorm, which certainly helps productivity.
