Okay so here's the thing. We already recorded this episode. This is version 2.

We're full of feelings.

We talk about microservices and testing them. #sorryForTheWait

We discuss the newly announced Laravel Certification program. There are a lot of sides to the issue. Everyone has opinions. But Laravel will survive.

Caleb's encountered a new git strategy called trunk flow! We talk about it as well as PRs, packages and all that jazz.

This week we do updates on string helpers, some other PRs, a little Ziggy talk, and we dig into the concept of "State Machines"

Caleb has been in the woods. Daniel has been living the lavish life of an open source maintainer.

Is that a cheeky Pull Request on the horizon?

Caleb helps Daniel get his refactoring wish-list in order.

Daniel FINALLY finished [Ziggy](https://github.com/tightenco/ziggy), a package for Laravel Named Routes in Javascript.

- [Ziggy: Use your Laravel named routes in JavaScript](https://github.com/tightenco/ziggy "Ziggy: Use your Laravel named routes in JavaScript") — Ziggy creates a Blade directive which you can include in your views. This will export a JavaScript object of your application's named routes, keyed by their names (aliases), as well as a global route() helper function which you can use to access your routes in your JS.

This week, we talk about different strategies for getting data from your backend (PHP) into your Javascript for use in your frontend. We also come up with an idea for a new lil library thats going to change the world. It's good times all around no doubt.

We are at Laracon 2017. We didn't sleep much. We talk about Taylor and Adam's talks. Caleb REALLY wants a Laracasts Snickers.
