We’ve all been there. We want to jump into learning a framework but we aren’t sure exactly where to start. Wouldn’t it be nice have the opportunity to attend a small workshop with an experienced instructor to guide us?
Now that dream is a reality. Jason Gilmore, author of Easy Laravel 5, is holding a one day Laravel 5 workshop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Saturday, February 28, 2015.
The workshop will be held from 10am to 6pm and include a catered lunch, a free copy of Jason’s book, and access to all the code used in the training.
This special event has extremely limited seating and all remaining spots will be sold on a first come first serve basis. If you are interested in getting a hands on look at Laravel 5 then this is the perfect opportunity.
The price of the workshop is normally $279, but as a special offer use the coupon code “laravelnews” to save $20 off the ticket price. (The link already has the discount already applied).
