Join us this month for a virtual presentation from Joe Ferguson!

## PHP Development on Windows Subsystem for Linux

Learn about Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and how you can build your local PHP development environment natively on Linux running inside Windows. We'll cover what WSL is and how to install a ready-to-run Ubuntu 20.04 instance that we can customize to our own preferences. We'll cover the primary differences between WSL 1 and 2 and show you what's coming in future feature updates! Finally, we'll go all-in on WSL and run native Linux GUI applications on Windows and talk about how to maximize your workflows.
