Battle Ready Laravel is now available!

If you've been following my blog or social media for the past few months, you'll know that I've been working on a new ebook called "Battle Ready Laravel".

I've spent a huge amount of time and effort into writing it and trying to put as many tips and tricks down into writing as possible.

The book is split up into 4 sections and is over 200 pages long!

The 4 sections covered are:

  • Auditing
  • Testing
  • Fixing
  • Improving

What's Covered in the Book?

As a freelance web developer, I'm really lucky and I get the chance to work on a lot of exciting projects. The majority of the time, the projects that I work on are existing projects and I'm brought on board to help add extra functionality, remove technical debt, add test suites, and generally improve the maintainability of the system.

In Battle Ready Laravel, I've written down the exact same steps that I use when improving Laravel projects. It contains actionable advice and steps that you can use straight away in your own projects.

We'll start by learning how to use automated tools and manual methods to audit the codebase and find weaknesses and areas to improve.

You'll then learn how to write tests that increase our confidence in our code and reliability for our end users.

You'll learn how to reduce (and hopefully remove!) technical debt and fix bugs. I'll also show the most common mistakes and errors that I see in Laravel apps and show you can avoid them yourself.

By the end of the book, you should feel like a more confident developer and have a better insight into how to manage your Laravel apps to keep them efficient, testable, and maintainable!

Discount Codes

Let's be honest, we all love discount codes!
