The last month of the year was like the calm before the storm. We’ve been putting the finishing touches on the redesign of our website and the Partner Program launch. Also, we simply enjoyed the Christmas break.

2) Mikołaj Król from BitBag gave a talk “BDD in Symfony” at PHPers Trójmiasto #13 (a meetup in Gdańsk, Poland). Of course, it refers to Sylius and our usage of the best testing tools like Behat or phpspec. Here you can see the slides.
3) We were mentioned in the eBook “eCommerce trends from 2017 to 2018” by the biggest polish eCommerce agency, Divante. Thanks!
