Some times events, jobs, and queues can feel a bit overwhelming, and sometimes they can feel so simple it feels like you're doing it wrong.

Mohamed Said is not just the expert on how queues work, he's the expert on thinking how best to use them and how best not to use them. In this episode we talk about how to use queues, and how to think in a way that makes sense for queues, and we also take a quick dive into Laravel's event system.

It's every application developer's nightmare: your app gets hacked and everyone's private data is out in the open, and it's your fault.

Thankfully, Laravel and the tools it brings have the best security practices baked in. But a framework can only save us from so much.

In this episode, security advocate and UX Designer (the UX part matters! Listen to find out why) talks about what Laravel gives us by default, how to write code that plays nicely with Laravel's built-in security tooling, and other helpful tools and practices that can keep you, your apps, and your clients secure.

Laravel's Collections were popularized by Adam Wathan's book "Refactoring to Collections", but if you haven't read the book you may be left wondering exactly what they are and how we work with them. And you've likely seem some of the common global helpers—app(), auth()—but there are dozens that even the most experienced Laravel programmers don't always know about! In this episode helper & collection afficionado Jacob Baker-Kretzmar walks us through both sets of tools and some of his favorite ways to work with them.
