This site is a way for me to get back into using modern Laravel — an MVC framework for PHP — by building something real and documenting what I find interesting along the way. The site itself is very much part of that learning process.
For the administration side of things, such as creating blog posts and managing categories, I'm using the popular Filament package.
Alongside the application work, I’m also designing and building the site’s template theme with Tailwind, hopefully releasing the theme once it’s in a state I’m happy with.
More broadly, this site is about publishing what I'm learning both at work and home, something I’ve been deliberately putting off for a very long time.
Writing things down is a way of reinforcing what you're learning and there’s truth in the idea that you don’t really understand something unless you're able to explain it clearly.
