Exploring the future of web development with WebAssembly and PHP
There is no doubt that PHP is the foundation of the modern web. However, as the web grows and evolves, so do the technologies supporting it. WebAssembly is platform agnostic and introduces the ability for PHP to operate in different environments, among other things. [WordPress Developer Blog]
Understanding Laravel Transactions
Using transactions to ensure data integrity and consistency is always a good practice. Like many frameworks, Laravel has specific methods for handling transactions manually or you can opt to let the framework take care of the work automatically. See examples and learn more in this article. [Medium]

WooCommerce Debuts Woo Express: Managed Hosting for E-commerce
You can now leverage the same infrastructure as WordPress.com for your WooCommerce store with Woo Express. Woo Express is a managed hosting solution coming with many pre-installed extensions and themes (similar to the feel of the WordPress.com flavor - I'm thinking). Woo Express seems more like a getup and going quickly the type of solution and may not be for everyone. [Newstrail]
If you're working with SQL, then at some point you're going to use a JOIN
. There really isn't any way (that I know of) to avoid JOIN
s. Especially, in a normalized database structure. However, there are different types of JOIN
s, each returning a different data set depending on the JOIN
used. Learn more about JOIN
s in this article. [Percona]
