You might have heard of PHP Srbija (PHP Serbia). It’s a voluntary, non-governmental, and non-profit association of PHP experts and enthusiasts. Their goal is to popularize the PHP programming language and share knowledge and experiences among PHP developers in Serbia.
Today, the association claims to be the largest programmers’ group in the Balkans. They have strong connections with other PHP communities both regionally and globally. Our PHP team stays updated with the latest tech trends, which led them to attend PHP Serbia 2021. The team spent three wonderful days sharing knowledge, learning new things, and meeting many like-minded professionals.
