Well, it has been quite the year for Magento (Adobe Commerce), PHP and really just developer tools in general! Hyva was introduced, which is going to dramatically change the way Magento websites look and how creatively they can be presented to the world. PHP 8 will soon be integrated with Magento 2.4.3, and Page Builder for Magento ushered in the kind of efficient editability that we’ve been wanting for a very long time! 2021 has truly been a year full of useful upgrades and big changes, and it’s clear that the next chapter in the world of eCommerce web development is going to be a thrilling one. Are you ready for it?

Is GitHub too big for some of your needs as a developer? The answer is yes. Where will you go if you aren't going to GitHub? The answer is the SwiftOtter Slack channel. It's growing like wildfire and we don't want you to miss out. While it's growing fast, it's small enough for each and every member to make a difference in other people's lives and get high-quality help when they need it. Collaboration works best if it's not too complicated, so maybe going to GitHub should be your second option instead of your first option. Go to SwiftOtter.com/Slack to join for free!
