Build Mobile Apps With React Native and Expo thumbnail

Build Mobile Apps With React Native and Expo

With Andre Madarang

React Native is a mobile app development framework that allows you to build and deploy native mobile apps to both iOS and Android devices. As web developers, leveraging the existing popularity of React can benefit many people who have no experience building mobile apps. Developers only have to maintain one codebase and can quickly get started using existing JavaScript and CSS knowledge. Expo is a framework on top of React Native, which provides even more tools and services that make your development experience similar to the experience of creating web applications. In this series, we’ll learn how to use tools within the React Native ecosystem to build robust and maintainable mobile apps. We’ll create a simple clone of the Twitter mobile app, along with a Laravel API backend that powers it.

So You Want to Build an Agent thumbnail

So You Want to Build an Agent

With Jeffrey Way

You're likely using an AI agent every day at this point, but do you truly understand how it works under the hood? What separates an agent from a general chat? What's a tool? How do we provide the loop for executing these tools? In this series, we'll demystify some of these concepts by building a basic agent that is capable of interacting with your file system and triggering tools.

The Ralph Wiggum Technique

With Sabatino Masala

Join me as I perform a deep-dive into the agentic looping technique known as "Ralph Wiggum." In this series, we’re not just building a script, we’re building the surrounding system that makes an agent reliable enough to collaborate with. We’ll work through permissions, sandbox rules, hooks, and safer ways to run in more autonomous modes. By the end, we’ll have something much bigger than a typical demo: a working approach for spec-driven agent development that can run locally, in the background, or on a remote machine over SSH. Let's go!

Blaze Deep-Dive thumbnail

Blaze Deep-Dive

With Caleb Porzio

Blade components are slow. Really slow. At scale, they quietly become the biggest bottleneck in your Laravel application. We discovered this while trying to make Flux as fast as possible, and the result is Blaze: a package that fundamentally rethinks how Blade components are compiled and rendered. With multiple levels of optimization, Blaze can shave hundreds of milliseconds off a page load, making Blade rendering up to 25x faster in some cases.In this series, we'll install it, benchmark it, build a toy version from scratch so you truly understand how it works, and then master every directive and edge case so you can squeeze maximum performance out of your own apps.
