Hello, Swytch Framework
Hello everyone! Several years ago, I embarked on a journey to build an app in PHP 8.

What Programmers Are Doing Wrong
Looking over usage stats of web developers and those who use the internet. It seems that OSX usage for writing software has been on the rise while end user usage of OSX has been on the decline, or staying stable, over the last few years. With almost 50% of all software developers using OSX and […]
