After a short time off from our weekly podcast series, the Blackstone Media team wanted to do a catch up podcast to discuss some of the things going on lately. In this episode, we are introducing some changes and improvements in the Blackstone process and talk about how it has morhped the overall project experience for our clients in so many fantastic ways.

The podcast also covers our most recent Laravel PHP custom work and implementation of automated QA testing using Codeception. We also discuss Laracon.us and welcome it into our beautiful city of Louisville. Our Web Architect -  Chris Flynn was fortunate enough to do a short Q&A style interview with Laravel News, tipping off the Laravel Developer community to some great local secrets and spots to visit while attending the Laracon Developer Conference here in Louisville, Ky. The conference is on August  11-12, 2015 and the Blackstone team is pumped to have a great group of developers visit the area.

Here is the interview on Laravel News.

Additionally, we wanted to remind anyone interested that Blackstone Media is hiring and looking for great Front-End UI/UX Developers and BlackOps Web Developers to bring on to the Blackstone Media Production team. Details can be found in the above links.

Other topics covered in this podcast are creating and and moving into our new Discovery Process and Marketing Conversion teams. Both of which will have entire episodes dedicated to those topics, so stay tuned. With all this and much more great content and news directly from the team at Blackstone, we hope you enjoy and we would love to hear feedback from our listeners.
