In this episode, I’m super excited to announce that Pluralsight have given me the go-ahead to create a new course: Zend Expressive Essentials!

If you didn’t buy the book, here’s a sneak peak at what’s on offer: * An Introduction to Zend Expressive (core concepts and theory). * Creation of an application by hand. * Creation of an application using the command-line tooling support. * Integration of third-party libraries and packages. * Creation of powerful middleware pipelines.
