I was sad to recently read that Ryan Weaver - co-founder of SymfonyCasts and Symfony core team
|
|
member - has [lost his battle with brain cancer][0].
|
|
|
|
I've been a long-time subscriber to SymfonyCasts/KNP University, which was my primary source of
|
|
Symfony learning as well as object-orientated PHP, Drupal 8 and Twig, design patterns and Stimulus.
|
|
|
|
I was lucky to meet Ryan once at DrupalCon and he was [one of my first guests][1] on the Beyond
|
|
Blocks podcast.
|
|
|
|
After he announced his diagnosis, I was inspired by his positivity and determination, and honoured
|
|
to raise funds for his first GoFundMe during one of my 10K races.
|
|
|
|
I will continue to subscribe to SymfonyCasts and learn from its new videos, but it won't be the same
|
|
without Ryan.
|
|
|
|
There is also [a new GoFundMe][2] to raise funds for his son, Beckett's, educational fund which I'll
|
|
be donating to.
|
|
|
|
Thank you, Ryan.
|
|
|
|
You will be missed.
