Laracasts

Today, we're launching a new Laracasts series that will show you the essentials building an AI agent from scratch. We start with a basic chat response and gradually introduce new concepts, such as the agent loop, custom tools, and more. 😀 "So You Want To Build An Agent"

You can watch the full video on Laracasts. Here's the link. laracasts.com/series/so-you-…

We're moving on to Section 2 of "So You Want to Build an Agent." First up is a review of compacting. What do we do if the conversation becomes too large? We'll create a PHP attribute that - when applied to a class - triggers automatic summarizing.

JetBrains PHPverse is back – free, online, and absolutely giant! 🚀 Join us on June 9 to learn, get inspired, and connect with the community. This year’s speakers include @fabpot, @jeffrey_way, @ashleyhindle, @jon_bossenger and more. Register here 👉jb.gg/phpverse-26 #PHPverse #PHP

Heads up that Section 2 of this series releases in May. We’ll get a bit more advanced and discuss adding supporting for guidelines files, system memory, context compacting, MCP, and more.

@SebastienKoziel ❤️

Missing you too @laracasts Learned software engineering with you at a time when Jeffrey was still running it solo. That was a turning point for my career, 12 years ago. Still the best Netflix-like learning platform for developers to this day. If you’re willing to invest your time building a solid foundation, this is the place

Learn how to put the human back into the Ralph loop this May on Laracasts. ♠️

@manasijevicb My apologies. We added SSR support to Laracasts yesterday, and it seems there's a couple memory leak issues. I'm spending today getting things patched up. Should be back to normal soon.

@laracasts , site is often going down and then after a while it goes back online... What's happening?

I love love LOVE how @calebporzio breaks down complex projects into the necessities. Did it for Livewire and Alpine before and they helped me build so much trust in the tools I was using Now a Laracasts course explaining how Blaze works too?! I'm in love laracasts.com/series/blaze-d…

May.

OK! My first YouTube video in 2 years! I made 5 videos for the 5 posts in our "Pragmatic Look at AI in Software Dev" series. In each I simply read the post out loud. I have *no idea* if people will like this. LMK what you think! Dropping 1 each day. youtube.com/watch?v=bk3S6A…

You can watch the entire series right now on Laracasts. 🔥 (And we're also running a 35% off sale for all subscriptions.) laracasts.com/series/blaze-d…

Learn to build...not just prompt. Today on Laracasts, we're launching an advanced CreatorSeries from @calebporzio about how he was able to improve Blade rendering performance by up to 40x. This series is *packed* with little tips and workflows. I learned so much watching it.

@DennisHelliar Nice!

@laracasts Redeemed! Been on the lookout for the entire week - so happy to finally have claimed a lifetime membership 🙏

@DennisHelliar We did another round. Will do another later this coming week.

@laracasts Did you forget 👀 ❤️‍🩹

@strandafili @AnneKoep @jeffrey_way I *think* it should now be available in Germany and Italy.

@AnneKoep @jeffrey_way @laracasts Italy neither

Last week was all about getting the first @laracasts iPhone app live on the App Store. That's done now, so... This week, my core focus is to plan/record/launch a video series that will show you how to build an AI agent entirely from scratch. I'll post about it on Friday!

@pushpak1300 @avosalmon He really does. Also - CardboardController is adorable.

@avosalmon He needs @laracasts subscription

I hired an intern 😆

Getting closer to launch!
