Started @TheEngBookClub because reading books alone is easy.
Discussing them with other engineers is where the growth happens.

More than 10 years ago, I created #PHPSevilla, a local community of PHP Developers, and I have decided to share some of my private notes on my blog.
This was written a few years ago, and the community is not active anymore, but this is what I learned.

Time to write in my blog! I am writing a few lines about how PHP Sevilla was created and organized more than 10 years ago and the motivations. I had something written in my personal diary, so I will publish it as an article on my blog.
