Laravel Worldwide Meetup - Life Beyond dd(); / Can You See My Screen?

For the February 2024 edition of the Laravel Worldwide Meetup we are joined by Joel Clermont and Caneco. Joel will be giving his talk entitled "Life Beyond dd();", while Caneco presents "Can You See My Screen?". Welcome to the February episode of the Laravel Worldwide Meetup! This month we have two guests, Joel Clermont and Caneco sharing the stage. Joel shows us how to get step debugging working with Xdebug in a few different environments and explains why it’s a tool you’ll want to keep in your toolbelt.
