- My thoughts after migrating some projects to Zend Expressive 2
-
The day Zend Expressive 2 was released I was super excited. I have been using it a lot for both professional and personal projects, so I'm quite used to it.

Performance is an important subject when a project grows.

- Improving Zend\ServiceManager workflow with annotations
-
Everyone who regularly visits my blog knows that I'm an absolute fan of the Zend\ServiceManager component.
It is always my choice to deal with dependency injection in any kind of project, more now that v3 has been released, which is faster and has a better public API.
