The Laravel Podcast

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.

If you're going to work with Laravel -- or any tech stack -- you need to find the best way to learn it, and then you need to find the best way to stay up to date over time.

Eric Barnes has been a member of the Laravel community since the earliest days; he worked at UserScape with Taylor when Taylor was building out Laravel 2, 3, and 4; and he runs Laravel-News.com, the largest and most comprehensive aggregator (and one of the larger creators) of Laravel-related content.

Laravel offers two systems for accessing the filesystem: the File facade and the Storage facade. The Storage facade wraps a package called "Flysystem", and in this episode Flysystem creator Frank de Jonge talks about how Laravel's storage and file systems work and talks about some best practices for working with them.

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.

You may not know it, but the service container — also known as the container, the IOC container, the DI container, or just "the application" — is that the core of every Laravel application. It's the glue that holds it all together! In this episode, author of Laravel Core Adventures Christoph Rumpel helps us dig deeply into what the container is and why it's good for you to know about it.
