Laracasts

We published a number of great Laracasts courses this last month. Have a look. 👀

If you feel extreme AI anxiety related to your programming job security, I’ve found it helpful to remind myself that, even with the help of agents, it’s an *immense* amount of work to build, tweak, test, and deploy a new app.

Really happy with how this turned out! 🙏 Go ahead and check it out, it won't disappoint 😉

Watch it only on Laracasts. 👍 laracasts.com/series/the-ral…

Our latest series, "The Ralph Wiggum Technique" is now ready to watch in full! This isn't just a review of the basic Ralph loop; it goes deep into the workflow, gotchas, and techniques. Definitely worth a watch if you work with AI and agents all day.

If you’re using the Laracasts iPhone app, you can now browse and participate in the forum. 💪

Our "So You Want to Build an Agent" Laracasts series continues today with a brand new episode about agent memory. As it turns out, this, also, can be represented as... a tool!

@jkmbooth Still ongoing! Next episode goes up later today.

@laracasts Watched this over the weekend, a great series!

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.

Bookmark the series here, and we'll notify you the moment it's ready to watch next Monday. laracasts.com/series/the-ral…

A new Laracasts series launches on May 18th! "The Ralph Wiggum Technique" This series goes far deeper than a simple review of the Ralph loop. You'll learn about PRDs, permissions, sandbox rules, hooks, bringing the human into the loop, and more!

Today on Laracasts, we learn how to make your custom agent load a guidelines file (like AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md).

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.

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?
