If you're going to work in modern web development, one of the key ingredients is a local development environment that doesn't rely on anything but your local machine to run.But, even just in the Laravel world, there are so many options to choose from!In this episode, three guests will talk us through the pros and cons of Laravel Valet, Laravel Homestead, and Docker-based solutions like Laradock and Vessel.Chris’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrByteZCJoses’ Twitter: https://twitter.com/josecanhelpJoe’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/JoePFergusonValet: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/valetHomestead: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/homesteadDocker: https://www.docker.com/Laradock: https://laradock.io/Vessel: https://vessel.shippingdocker.com/Jose on Twenty Percent Time: https://twentypercenttime.simplecast.com/episodes/jose-soto-docker-for-local-development-P7pz7_EJJose on Laracasts: https://laracasts.com/series/guest-spotlight/episodes/2Jose's Docker Site: https://daytodaydocker.com/Valet Diagnoses Command: https://github.com/laravel/valet/issues/936HyperV: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/about/VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/VMWare: https://www.vmware.com/ -----Editing sponsored by Tighten; transcript sponsored by Larajobs.

Most modern web applications and frameworks are built on the principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP),. Laravel itself is object-oriented.But many of us learn about OOP bit by bit as we're coding, not in any formal way.In this episode we talk to Alena Holligan, veteran PHP programmer, OOP implementer, and educator about what exactly OOP is and how a deeper knowledge of OOP can help us.Lorna Jane Mitchell: https://lornajane.net/Craig Dennis - Java: https://teamtreehouse.com/craigsdennisLumen Learning: https://lumenlearning.com/Some treehouse courses from Alena: https://teamtreehouse.com/alenaholliganLate static bindings, w/r/t self and static: https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.late-static-bindings.phpHeadcanon: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=headcanonSketchings on GitHub: https://github.com/sketchingsAlena Holligan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/alenaholligan -----Editing sponsored by Tighten; transcript sponsored by Larajobs.

Most modern development workflows rely on version control, and most of those use Git. It's easy to follow a quick tutorial and learn a few basic commands--and you should, before listening to this episode--but how much do you know about Git's history, how it compares to other version control systems, or what's actually happening with branches and commits and merges and rebases?Git enthusiast and expert Gemma Anible joins us this week to teach about some of the foundational basics of Git--not "git commit", but how it's actually architected--and then some common mistakes and pro tips.Gemma on twitter: https://twitter.com/ellothethGemma on Mastodon: https://mastodon.technology/@ellothethGemma’s web site: https://ramblinations.com/Gemma on YouTube: Navigate your git repository: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeABW6OU1GgWonderProxy: https://wonderproxy.com/CVS: https://nongnu.org/cvs/Subversion: https://subversion.apache.org/Washington, DC legal code: https://github.com/DCCouncil/dc-law-xmlSolo TV show: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solo_(TV_series)Felicity Kendal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felicity_KendalEffervescent: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/effervescentThe Ars Technica article where I read about it: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/11/how-i-changed-the-law-with-a-github-pull-request/TortoiseSVN (https://tortoisesvn.net/) and TortoiseGit (https://tortoisegit.org/), both for WindowsGit fast forwards: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/git-fast-forwards-and-branch-management-329977726.htmlImage halfway down this blog, “The Git History Is A Graph!“: https://jqassistant.org/shadows-of-the-past-analysis-of-git-repositories/For what would be in the Git reflog on Github: https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/events/Git: https://git-scm.com/Pro Git boo: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2Learn Git Branching: https://learngitbranching.js.org/Matt’s Git Cherry Pick article: https://mattstauffer.com/blog/how-to-merge-only-specific-commits-from-a-pull-request/Timothy Zahn’s Star Wars trilogy: https://www.goodreads.com/series/42348-star-wars-the-thrawn-trilogyMara Jade Skywalker - https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Mara_Jade_SkywalkerEnder’s Game - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ender's_Game -----Editing sponsored by Tighten; transcript sponsored by Larajobs.

As PHP and Laravel programmers, we use Composer every day. But we often don't know its history, nuances, or the plans for the future.In this episode Matt talks with Jordi Bogianno, co-creator and co-maintainer of Composer, about the powerful tool's history, common use cases, and overall purpose. But we also dive into some nuances, some common mistakes, how it differs from NPM, and the future of the tool.TeamUp: https://www.teamup.com/Jordi's Twitter: twitter.com/seldaekComposer docs: https://getcomposer.org/doc/Private Packagist: https://packagist.com/Jordi's Composer Deep Dev talk at Laracon EU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3UfxubW_PUComposer Best Packages talk by Nils: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpvihKaQyLsJordi's OSS wish list: http://seld.be/wishlistBalvenie scotch: https://www.thebalvenie.com/-----Editing sponsored by Tighten; transcript sponsored by Larajobs.
