1. PHP Conference 2023 Calendar of October of User Group Meetings and Conferences

So we are going to start precisely by this article that lists events that will happen around the world for PHP developers.

There are conferences and user group meetings. You will find in this article the countries, the cities, the name of the events, the organizers, and the dates, so you can plan ahead if you are going to attend, where you can buy tickets, and you can even find out what will be the side happenings that will happen in those events.

You will be able to learn from other developers and also share knowledge. Maybe you can even find more work opportunities, so you can make more money from your activity as a PHP developer.

So do not waste more time. Just go to these event pages of their sites, so you can book tickets just in time to attend those events.

2. How to Customize a PHP Composer Install Using Hook Functions To Execute Actions After a Package Installation or an Update

Next we are going to comment briefly about another interesting article about customization of the PHP composer installation or update process.

This is about a package that allows you to customize the hooks that PHP composer calls after the installation and the update process. It is not a very trivial topic but this package makes it simple for you.

4. How to Turn a WordPress Site into A Podcast Site Using a Wordpress Podcast Theme

Finally, we're going to just comment briefly about another article about a package that can help you to turn your WordPress site into a podcast site.

If you record a podcast for instance, like this that you are watching, you can use a theme that is provided by a contributor of the PHP classes site. And you will be able to learn how to quickly install this theme and start a podcast.

This  podcast that you are watching was developed for the PHP Classes site. It was not trivial because it was a long time effort and we did it from scratch. We do not recommend you to do this if you are in a rush and want to start a podcast in your WordPress site very quickly. We do not use WordPress. 

WordPress is a great idea because it has a lot of components and themes that you can use to install new features in your WordPress site, like a podcast, very quickly.
