Datatables, Scaling, Vue Testing and Django vs Laravel

Some thoughts and two tips how to avoid big code changes in the middle of the project.

In our QuickAdminPanel we use a package called Datatables.net quite a lot – it’s really good to show tables of data. But on top of our generator you can extend it, we will show you how.

Our new QuickAdminPanel demo-project to store files and handle subscriptions, like Dropbox or Google Drive. Also integrating Stripe payments for monthly subscriptions.

We’ve all made sandwiches using bread at some point of time in life. Frameworks in web development are like the bread, they are the base on which sandwiches, here web applications, web services and software are (spread) built.

Adding tests to a project is always beneficial for different aspects, but choosing the right strategy could be a struggle for many developers.

First things first we need some data so lets make some migrations. As this is a tutorial we don’t want to waste time on the boring stuff so this command creates the model, resource controller (cr), migration (m) and factory (f) all in one go.

Recently, I have been working on few laravel projects and every time I configure new project, I end up making a critical error by either missing/forgetting some important steps.

Scaling Laravel is a course by Chris Fidao about scaling your Laravel application code, and preparing your applications for using a scaled infrastructure. In addition to application concerns, the course covers server optimization, load balancing, and database optimizations.

Telegram is a non-profit cloud-based instant messaging service. It is similar to many other messaging applications like WhatsApp and Messenger but offers great security. Telegram apps are available for multiple operating systems. Telegram released their bot platform in 2015.

In previous article we’ve managed to serve static text as a response but it’s nothing exciting and can be done in plain html. In this part I will compare Laravel and Symfony templating engines — Blade and Twig. Firstly, let’s see how to return a view from Laravel’s controller.

There is something very powerful about automating even the little things. We sometimes think as automation as the simple maths of saving a given number of minutes/seconds by a given number of times a day but the compound effect is much greater.

We, as a developer, would like to automate many things in our project, like sending emails, newsletter, backing up database remotely (you know how much important that is, right?). In Laravel, we can do these automation using commands and by calling those commands in your cron.

Today we are happy to open source Gymie, a Laravel based gym and club management system we built some time back. It has an interesting backstory to share how it came to life. We had never planned to actually build it, rather it started as a side project.

Carbon had a little hiccup today, hence the double release. Here are the release notes for v5.6.10.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to test middleware in Laravel applications. If you are not familiar with the concept of middleware, it acts as a middle man between a request and a response. It's a type of filtering mechanism.

Recently Adam Wathan and Taylor Otwell have used Basecamp to track what they are doing every day–a tech diary. Notably, they are using the check-in feature which allows you to schedule questions to be sent to members about almost anything.

When developers talk about the infrastructural boundaries or external dependencies they often talk about databases and third-party integration. They're the first thing we'll put behind an interface so we can stub them out during our tests. This gives us some control over them.

Laravel comes with commands for boost performance. Commands are useful when you are using lots of routes and configuration files.
