Cytoscape.js – great for interactive node/edge graphs, with layouts and styling built in

D3.js – very powerful and flexible if you need custom visuals (but a bit more complex)

Mermaid – simple, text-based diagrams (flowcharts, sequences), easy to integrate

JointJS (core version) – basic diagramming is free, paid features are optional

I guess its now updated

Well. you can refactor is later.

Use pest. I believe it is covered in this course

Haha yeah, this one gets basically everyone at least once. The naming just doesn’t line up with how your brain expects it to work: Eloquent has orderBy() and orderByDesc(), SQL has ORDER BY RANDOM, so naturally you go looking for orderByRandom() and… nope, enjoy your trip to page 500 of the docs. The idea behind inRandomOrder() is that it’s DB-agnostic (MySQL uses RAND(), Postgres/SQLite use RANDOM()), and it follows that slightly weird “state” naming style in the query builder, like “put this query in a random ordering.” That explanation makes sense after you know it, but the first time you hit it, it absolutely feels like someone tried to be clever for no real payoff. An alias would’ve saved a lot of collective annoyance. Not the worst thing in Laravel, but definitely one of those classic “once burned, never forgotten” quirks. 😄

Generally: not enabled by default. Occasionally: yes, for debugging specific issues.

Telescope is extremely useful, but it’s also heavy and sensitive.

1. Snappy (Laravel Snappy) — based on wkhtmltopdf ✔ Renders PDFs from HTML/CSS using a real browser engine (WebKit) ✔ Better CSS support than DOMPDF (especially layouts, floats, positioning) ✔ Good for complex designs 📦 Package: barryvdh/laravel-snappy

Bro, please read this is from Taylor Otwell the founder of Laravel.

https://laravel.com/blog/is-there-an-official-laravel-certification https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/my-experience-with-certificationforlaravelcom-a-warning-about-the-laravel-certification-scam-2025 https://laravel-news.com/laravel-certification-program-is-no-longer-official

At the beginning of this year, we discontinued our official partnership with the "Laravel Certification Program".

There is no longer an "official" certification program for Laravel, although Laravel certification exams managed by third-parties still exist and may be created.

The certification was managed by an outside company since its inception.

I haven't been 100% satisfied with the operation of that program lately, which has led to this decision to ensure that all products / services endorsed by Laravel are of the highest quality.

So my rule of thumb:

Python → f-strings

PHP → single quotes + .

Double quotes in PHP only when interpolation is actually worth it

Consistency and readability > clever syntax.

I plan to complete the Laravel Architect learning path. Upon successful completion, in addition to building real-world projects, I hope Laracasts will consider issuing a certificate to formally recognize the skills and expertise I gain through this program. This certificate would allow me to showcase my achievements on LinkedIn and during tech interviews, which I believe would also serve as a great endorsement for Laracasts, highlighting the quality of learning provided. 🙂

Thank you for updating the path :)

@hinlocaesar-75309181 Do "Laravel From Scratch (2026 Edition)." That's the new series.

http://laravelfromscratch.com/

We refresh that series every two years. "30 Days to Learn Laravel" is the 2023 edition - just under a different name.

Which course to learn the Laravel From Scratch (2026 Edition) or 30 Days to Learn Laravel??
