Screencasts for the modern.developer;

Real-life programming isn't always glamorous. You're not always launching fancy new interactive features backed by weeks of marketing and hype. In fact, that's rarely the case. Instead, much of the time, we work on boring fixes and general maintenance of packages and tools that, frankly, not many people use. This is the reality. In that spirit, for season one of our new "Pull Up a Seat" series, come along as I work on extending the API for my laracasts/cypress package. We'll cover everything from the initial tinkering, all the way up to tagging a new release.

This series is all about the little projects you build once you're off the clock. One topic per section, we'll toy with the fringes of PHP to, for example, blink our lights when a PHPUnit test fails. Why bother? Because it's fun! Come along and join me.

In this series, I'll show you how to build a single-database, multi-tenant application in Laravel. Together, we'll construct our application in such a way as to ensure that data from one tenant never leaks into the results for another tenant.

In this workshop, we'll focus exclusively on the open-closed principle (the O in SOLID). Using real-life code, line by line, we'll refactor a confusing class into something far more manageable and extendable. Once finished, we'll have gained the luxury of introducing new functionality, not by modifying existing code, but by instead writing a new class.
