apps from scratch
Learn how to build a scalable, well-tested, real-world application in a concise, step-by-step series of screencasts.
Most tutorials use examples like summing or multiplying numbers, which isn't really useful in a real-world situation and might make you think testing is much harder than it actually is.
On this course, I'll teach you how to test a Laravel application from scratch, with detailed screencasts and a Git repository for you to check the progress at anytime.
The example we'll be using is an uptime checker, where a user can subscribe and add sites to be monitored, configure webhooks, notifications, archive websites, and more.
The lessons are as short as they can get — I'm not interested in making them longer so I can say my course has "x" hours. Please take a look at the link below to see what's currently available.

Hey! My name is Mateus Guimarães and I've been writing code for a few years now.
I've worked with several different types of clients, including companies in the telecommunications, marketing and SMS businesses.
I've also had my own company — a ticketing platform — which gave me a lot of experience writing robust, well-tested apps.
In my free time, I like to blog and I also have a YouTube channel with programming screencasts and general life/work videos.
You can also find me on Twitter, GitHub, LinkedIn and Instagram.
