Already three episodes have been recorded and the fourth is coming up soon: Peter Jaap Blaakmeer of Elgentos and I seemed to be pulling it off with our podcast The Registry: At least two others are listening to what two Dutch guys have to say. And maybe this is for you too?

The end of the year is coming closer. Some say 2020 simply sucked. But it doesn't mean all is a waste. For instance, e-commerce business is thriving on the current crisis. And therefore, investing in knowledge is a smart move to prepare for 2021. We got your back with a full stack Magent 2 training program.

Almost two weeks ago, from October 13th to October 15th, Reacticon v3 took place, organized by Yireo. Three days full of frontend development talks. But not just PWA. Refreshing alternatives to the current Magento frontend passed by as well. Here is the wrap up.

Agencies have learned this from bad experience in the past. I'm not surprised but yet I am surprised. This blog is a humble overview of what kind of (in)stability 2.4.0 might bring.

Quite some time ago already - maybe about 4 months ago - we decided to postpone Reacticon v3 from June 2020 to October 2020 because of the Corona crisis.

For some time, I'm maintaining Magento 2 composer packages that apply the composer replace trick to allow for Magento 2 core modules to be removed again. In the last days, I made some dramatic changes, removing old releases and creating new, upsetting people along the way. What is wrong with me?!?
