New Courses, E-commerce and Symfony vs Laravel

My new project with Laravel courses and lessons. For now modest start with one course, but we'll see how it goes, potentially a competitor to Laracasts maybe :)

Final episode in the series - after some polishing, I'm uploading the project on GitHub and launching another new one! (see above)

The next version of Laravel, which is a LTS release, will be released during and shortly after Laracon EU 2017. Laravel News has published some great articles of changes and new features in the framework. These are some of my personal favourites:

Laravel 5.5 Tutorial With Example From Scratch is today’s main topic. Laravel has recently launched its new version called Laravel 5.5, and it is also come up with a bunch of new Features. Today, we are not discussing new features of Laravel 5.5 but rather than focusing on the coding in Laravel 5.

New string helpers are finding their way into Laravel leading up to the big 5.5 release, which is planned to drop during Laracon EU 2017. Here are some of the recent highlights in the String helper class, which has been getting some love lately.

After some issues that got opened on GitHub I decided to write a blogpost on the Laravel FFmpeg package we created. We use this package ourselves in three different production environments.

Disclaimer: I developed extensively in Laravel 5.1+ and Symfony 2.3+. Laravel is focused on simplicity and delivering value, even if you are not an advanced developer. As such it provides the following:

GitHub rolled out embedded code snippets this month which should make it easier to share existing code without having to re-create it in a comment. For a while, GitHub has had the ability to highlight lines with a URL hash.

Over the last year at work we have been working on a new project and have built our application on Laravel 5.*. I got to lead the project, so as the leader I wanted to set a good standard for how the application should be built.

Laravel 5.4 introduced a new feature called “real-time facades”, which provide the convenience of facades, defined real-time instead of in classes. Taylor tweeted about it, but I wanted to explain what they are and how they work. Already know how facades work? Skip to what’s new.

Laravel is a great framework; it’s easy to use and extend, and makes liberal use of Interfaces so that you can write your own implementations and provide them to the IoC Container. Unfortunately, the downside to this is navigability.

If you want to preview you mails in browser to see how they would ideally look in the recipient’s inbox you can set that up in a few lines of code in your routes file. The solution is a Frankenstein mashup of tips from two different sources.

I have seen this asked many times on the Laravel forums as well as other discussion boards. Even found myself searching and looking for a way to change the default directory structure to use it on a VPS with WHM/Cpanel.

At Spatie we recently launched a new site: guidelines.spatie.be. It contains articles on how we go about setting things up at Spatie and a collection of styleguides. The source code of the site is available on GitHub. In this blogpost I’d like to share why and how we created our guidelines site.

Recently I have been working on something very amazing for API development, everyone has been using REST to access API, but now things are changing, in the front-end heavy world where things are consistently growing and new features added every week a fixed REST API is not very good option anymore,

Disclaimer: This is my first medium post and I’m from germany so english is not my first language. In my daily work I need a Setup with Apache and different PHP versions for different projects.

I’m guessing since you’re here, you’re already using Laravel and I’m guessing also that you used it enough time to reach this level, where you start tweaking how it works and improving it.

Typically small http applications does only have to manage HTTP communication on top of a tiny MVC-Framework. A client performs a request, which is handled by a controller. The controller invoke the model and assigens the result data to a view.

In the next Laravel version 5.5 a new interface called Responseable gets introduced. It is a simple interface that defines one method called toResponse that returns an instance of Illuminate\Http\Response. This new feature is looking really nice.

When working on live systems, often there is a need of executing a periodic task on the server like for sending emails, database cleanup and generating reports. To automate these tasks I use Laravel cron jobs scheduling. Cron is the task scheduler mechanism of *nix operating systems.

I love E-commerce. And I love Laravel. I also love Symfony and Phalcon, but decided to move to Laravel as the primary framework. Being an E-commerce developer means our job is to build and maintain quite several webshops, parelelly.
