Building Laracasts
While many courses at Laracasts focus on the workflow of building something entirely from scratch, this one is a bit different. Come along as I work on the Laracasts codebase, itself. Each episode is unique. One might cover a new Vue component we need for the UI. Another episode may require that we TDD a new feature entirely. So pull up a chair and let's get to work.

Series Chapters
Run Time 16:20It's a bit overdue, but I need to add chapter headings to each series here at Laracasts. Come along as I use TDD to drive out this small change to the codebase. We might say a video belongs to a series, but also to a chapter within that series. Together, let's figure out how.

Rapid Laravel Package Development
Run Time 9:33In the previous episode, we tinkered around with the idea of widgets for our views. Let's now, mostly for learning purposes, extract this code into a reusable Composer package that anyone can pull in. When I need to create a new project, I always pull in Laravel Packager to expedite the setup process.

Testing and Deploying Laravel Packages
Run Time 17:40If you can't prove - through automated tests - that your package works correctly, how do you expect users to trust you? In this episode, we'll write a series of tests to confirm that our widget functionality works as expected. Once complete, we'll deploy the code to GitHub. At that point, the only remaining step is to submit to Packagist.org.
