Web Development

The web development articles focus mostly on Laravel, PHP and databases — the layer where I spend most of my time on real projects. What separates "the form submits correctly" from "this application is still maintainable a year later" lives here: getting the data model right up front, writing queries that don't collapse into N+1, knowing when caching actually earns its place, making deployment repeatable rather than heroic. Most examples come either from this site's own codebase or from client work, so they are solutions that survive production rather than ones that look tidy on paper. You'll find beginner-level introductions alongside deeper pieces that solve one specific problem properly.
