Queues, with Mohamed Said

Mohamed Said, Matt Stauffer — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 08:00:00 -0500

Some times events, jobs, and queues can feel a bit overwhelming, and sometimes they can feel so simple it feels like you're doing it wrong.

Mohamed Said is not just the expert on how queues work, he's the expert on thinking how best to use them and how best not to use them. In this episode we talk about how to use queues, and how to think in a way that makes sense for queues, and we also take a quick dive into Laravel's event system.

Security, with Rizqi Djamaluddin

Matt Stauffer, Rizqi Djamaluddin — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 08:00:00 -0500

It's every application developer's nightmare: your app gets hacked and everyone's private data is out in the open, and it's your fault.

Thankfully, Laravel and the tools it brings have the best security practices baked in. But a framework can only save us from so much.

In this episode, security advocate and UX Designer (the UX part matters! Listen to find out why) talks about what Laravel gives us by default, how to write code that plays nicely with Laravel's built-in security tooling, and other helpful tools and practices that can keep you, your apps, and your clients secure.

Helpers & Collections, with Jacob Baker-Kretzmar

Matt Stauffer, Jacob Baker-Kretzmar — Tue, 02 Feb 2021 08:00:00 -0500

Laravel's Collections were popularized by Adam Wathan's book "Refactoring to Collections", but if you haven't read the book you may be left wondering exactly what they are and how we work with them. And you've likely seem some of the common global helpers—app(), auth()—but there are dozens that even the most experienced Laravel programmers don't always know about! In this episode helper & collection afficionado Jacob Baker-Kretzmar walks us through both sets of tools and some of his favorite ways to work with them.

We all interact with APIs, even if we don't write them, right? The APIs that power our mobile apps, the APIs we use in our code. But Jess Archer wants you to know there's a whole wide world of what API even means, broader than we usually use it... but then we'll also get down to the real details about the best practices for writing web-based RESTish APIs in Laravel.

One of the most powerful tools in creating Laravel apps quickly is how much you can get done in an app that just contains the skeleton scaffold Laravel comes with. The frontend presets, which in Laravel 8+ are now contained in a tool called Jetstream, allow you to scaffold your frontend build tooling and user registration, login, and management, all with a single command.

Migrations, Factories, and Seeding, with John Bonaccorsi

John Bonaccorsi, Matt Stauffer — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 08:00:07 -0400

Eloquent and the Query Builder allow us to interact with our database, but how do we get those databases in the right shape? How do we define their schema, their sample data, or how to run tests against them? In this episode Factory King John Bonaccorsi talks all about these other tools we use every day to interact with our databases.

Eloquent and the Query Builder, with Jonathan Reinink

Matt Stauffer, Jonathan Reinink — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 08:00:09 -0400

Very few Laravel applications don’t have a data store backing them, and the vast majority are backed by a relational database like MySQL. Laravel’s built-in tooling for interacting with databases, Eloquent and the Query Builder, are powerful, flexible, easy-to-use tools that will get you moving quickly but stay flexible as your app grows.

Jonathan Reinink is the author of Eloquent Performance Patterns (https://eloquent-course.reinink.ca/) and a prolific teacher about Laravel and databases.

Routing and Blade, with Caleb Porzio

Matt Stauffer, Caleb Porzio — Tue, 07 Jul 2020 08:00:04 -0400

Any web-based application routes all its requests through URL. Laravel’s routing allows you to define URLs, URL patterns, and HTTP Verbs to match you users’ incoming request to your application’s logic. And, while not all web-based applications return HTML, most do, so let’s also get familiar with Blade, Laravel’s templating language. In this episode, Caleb Porzio, creator of Laravel Livewire and Alpine.js, talks about routing and Blade.

Local Environment with Valet, Homestead, and Docker, with Chris Brown, Jose Soto, Joe Ferguson

Jose Soto, Chris Brown, Joe Ferguson, Matt Stauffer — Tue, 23 Jun 2020 08:00:24 -0400

If you're going to work in modern web development, one of the key ingredients is a local development environment that doesn't rely on anything but your local machine to run.

But, even just in the Laravel world, there are so many options to choose from!

In this episode, three guests will talk us through the pros and cons of Laravel Valet, Laravel Homestead, and Docker-based solutions like Laradock and Vessel.

Object Oriented Programming, with Alena Holligan

Matt Stauffer, Alena Holligan — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 08:00:12 -0400

Most modern web applications and frameworks are built on the principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP),. Laravel itself is object-oriented.

But many of us learn about OOP bit by bit as we're coding, not in any formal way.

In this episode we talk to Alena Holligan, veteran PHP programmer, OOP implementer, and educator about what exactly OOP is and how a deeper knowledge of OOP can help us.

Getting Good with Git, with Gemma Anible

Matt Stuaffer, Gemma Anible — Tue, 26 May 2020 08:00:06 -0400

Most modern development workflows rely on version control, and most of those use Git. It's easy to follow a quick tutorial and learn a few basic commands--and you should, before listening to this episode--but how much do you know about Git's history, how it compares to other version control systems, or what's actually happening with branches and commits and merges and rebases?

Git enthusiast and expert Gemma Anible joins us this week to teach about some of the foundational basics of Git--not "git commit", but how it's actually architected--and then some common mistakes and pro tips.
