should i focus procedural php or continue learning until i finishes all the oop concepts?

I've been learning php through to programming with gio, i am on the namespace section and i am kinda struggling to understand the concept, but i do manage to understand it using copilot to explain the code functionality. i ask in discord about nullsafe in oop and someone said that i should directly build in order to learn and not to watch tutorials because you are not learning base on what he says. oop is large, should i focus learning all the concepts and follow what gio is coding in the video or should i abandon the tutorial and start building after learning the basics of php? right now, i still don't know about sql and building simple login website using php but i have sufficient knowledge about html and css. i am kinda lost. any advice is appreciated, thank you.

How do I choose between Livewire and Vue.js for my project? Your criteria and feedback

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a project for an application that is intended to serve the customers of a in the context of requests for financing for the customer of a bank, and I hesitate between two technologies for the front-end part: fr in the cad Livewire and Vue.js. I'm trying to better understand which criteria I should take into account when making my choice.

To give you some context:

My project needs to handle real-time interactions, integrate with Laravel.

I'm used to Laravel and Livewire.

The technical constraints are limited hosting, no complex APIs, etc...

My main question: what criteria or aspects should I consider when choosing between Livewire and Vue.js in this case? For example, ease of learning, performance, scalability, integration with Laravel, or something else? If you've used either technology, I'd love to hear your feedback!

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Recommendations for Backend Hosting

I'm needing to provision a single mysql db, and to host some php code that will handle api calls from my front end - the API accepting 10-50 lines of text on an api transaction. Possibly 25 users simultaneously at any one time, but that may be a hopeful number even.

Between Railway and Linode (now called Akamai ), what might be the best option.
\- Looking for economy. The $5/mo plan on Railway, or the $12 plan on linode is what I'm looking at.
\- But, was wondering if anyone with experience in either hoster - if you found your useage all of a sudden is pushing the limits of the plan you choose, which hoster of the two makes it easy to just boost up to the next plan without having to re-deploy if that's possible.

Note: I was considering Linode because I heard they have built in protection against DDOS'ing, and have heard stories about big unexpected bills you can get.

Symfony Messenger in Node.js? Yes, it's possible!

The Symfony Messenger component is a powerful tool for building message-driven architectures, enabling seamless communication between services and transport layers. If you're a full-stack developer or work across multiple stacks, you might appreciate having similar patterns available in other ecosystems.

I wanted to share a library for NestJS that follows a similar philosophy to Symfony Messenger — and even draws inspiration from systems like NServiceBus in the .NET world. It brings structured, maintainable messaging to the Node.js ecosystem using decorators, handlers, middleware, and transport abstraction.

NPM package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@nestjstools/messaging
Example repo: https://github.com/nestjstools/messaging-rabbitmq-example

If you're working in a polyglot setup or just curious about messaging in Node.js, give it a try and let me know what you think!

An easier way to document your Laravel endpoints using Swagger

Hi everyone!
Today I want to share a library I’ve been working on that makes documenting your Laravel API endpoints much easier.

During your E2E tests, this library captures the requests made to your endpoints and automatically generates the corresponding Swagger (OpenAPI) documentation.

For example, if you have a test like this:

function test_shouldCreateUser() {
    $this
        ->perryHttp()
        ->withHeaders(['api_key' => 'some_api_key'])
        ->withBody([
            'name' => 'John Doe',
            'age' => 25,
            'email' => 'john@doe.com',
            'password' => 'password',
        ])
        ->post('/user')
        ->assertJson(['success' => true])
        ->assertStatus(Response::HTTP_CREATED);
}

The library will capture the request, response, headers, and other relevant details, then generate a Swagger-compatible YAML file documenting the endpoint automatically.

The generated file can be used with Swagger UI, Redoc, Postman, or any tool that supports OpenAPI specs.

## How to install

Install it via Composer:

composer require n4m-ward/laravel-perry

Then run the library using:

./vendor/bin/perry

Policy Attributes

Policies are a slightly obscure but critical part of Laravel security. They're the best solution to the common route-model-binding vulnerability where an attacker can just hit /post/123 even through they are only the author of /post/456. We've been working quietly on a proof concept to make CRUD resource controllers "locked by default" and to allow more explicating Model to Policy mapping using php attributes. https://github.com/icehouse-ventures/laravel-policy-attributes Taylor just merged a new Model-Policy mapping attribute called UsePolicy so it seemed a good time to get some feedback on upgrading the Controller side of things. Any feedback?

How do you set your rate limiters?

I had considered blocking ip addresses for more than 60 requests per minute for 24 hours and displaying a 429. But then I thought, no one sends 60+ requests per minute, 30 might be enough ... but then I thought, what about some search engine bots - maybe they need more requests.

It would probably also make sense to block ip addresses for example at more than 1000 requests per hour and 5000 requests per day (or so).

And, for example, try to reduce login attempts to 10 per hour.

Of course, it also depends on the application and the usual traffic.

So, how do you go about this? What does your setup look like and how do you find out if it is optimal?
