Remembering Ryan Weaver
I was sad to recently read that Ryan Weaver - co-founder of SymfonyCasts and Symfony core team member - has lost his battle with brain cancer.
I've been a long-time subscriber to SymfonyCasts/KNP University, which was my primary source of Symfony learning as well as object-orientated PHP, Drupal 8 and Twig, design patterns and Stimulus.
I was lucky to meet Ryan once at DrupalCon and he was one of my first guests on the Beyond Blocks podcast.
After he announced his diagnosis, I was inspired by his positivity and determination, and honoured to raise funds for his first GoFundMe during one of my 10K races.
I will continue to subscribe to SymfonyCasts and learn from its new videos, but it won't be the same without Ryan.
There is also a new GoFundMe to raise funds for his son, Beckett's, educational fund which I'll be donating to.
Thank you, Ryan.
You will be missed.
