Tutorials and Talks
Using WordPress as an API for Laravel (1): Setting up WordPress as API
In this post we discuss how to use WordPress as a headless CMS and combine it with the flexibility of Laravel to build custom websites and web apps.
User Roles and Access Control (ACL) in Laravel
It’s been over a year since I covered how to protect adminpanel routes in Laravel using Gates. Some people kept reminding me about my promise to cover ACL and user roles, and I kept putting off fulfilling that promise. Finally I run into that on one of my projects, and that’s the sign I was waiting for to continue giving back to the community I learned so much from.

What is Magento PWA? How Can It Improve My Online Store?
Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web application developed as a result of combining the best of native apps and mobile web pages. These applications can progressively load and run in a mobile browser and can deliver an app-like experience.
Hand-Written Service Containers
Dependency injection is very important. Dependency injection containers are too. The trouble is with the tools, that let us define services in a meta-language, and rely on conventions to work well. This extra layer requires "ambient information" and easily lets us make mistakes that we wouldn't make if we'd just write out the code for instantiating our services.
414 URI Too Long
The URI or path of a HTTP request doesn’t have any hard limits in terms of how long it’s allowed to be. However, Browsers and search engines have limits, and on the server side it’s a good idea to limit the length of the URI to combat certain denial-of-service attacks or bugs. |
