To get the most out of this book

I recommend having a computer nearby while reading this book so that you can explore the user interface options in GitLab as you go. While knowledge of PHP isn't a prerequisite, it is used in the example project, so passing familiarity is handy. If you've used other object-oriented programming languages before it'll mostly make sense.
