Lean Admin is a Laravel package for building custom admin panels. It's based on the TALLstack (Livewire & Alpine) and its main focus is customizability. Start by defining resources with fields and then customize anything you want. Replace CRUD actions, modify field behavior, or tweak Blade views, and much more. Lean is launching soon, and you can join the the waiting list here to get a discount.

I am excited to share that my team and I have just launched v2.0 of our Laravel Package Training video course.

Here's a the introductory video for the course:

In this course we'll cover:

• Building a framework agnostic PHP package. We'll cover basic structure, testing, GitHub Actions, Packagist, and more
• Building a Laravel package from scratch. We'll share our proven, modern workflow that we used to create our own 250+ packages
• We'll take a look at some real life examples by source diving a couple of our own popular packages

Since recording v1 was released two years ago, I've learned a lot of things on both the package creation process and recording videos. For the v2 update I've re-recorded and improved our entire course.

• Packages are now built using our latest insights. We'll use a specialized Package Service Provider as the beating heart of a Laravel package
• We now use the latest versions of everything: PHP 8, Laravel 8
• Testing via Pest, but we'll also explain how you can use PHPUnit
• All videos are now in razor-sharp 4K resolution, 60 fps, and have much better sound quality

To get a taste of what's there, here's a little sample video in which you'll learn how a Package Service Provider works.

I do hope you'll enjoy this course, and I can't wait to see all the cool packages you'll be able to build with this knowledge.

Stay up to date with all things Laravel, PHP, and JavaScript.

Follow me on Twitter. I regularly tweet out programming tips, and what I myself have learned in ongoing projects.

Every two weeks I send out a newsletter containing lots of interesting stuff for the modern PHP developer.

Expect quick tips & tricks, interesting tutorials, opinions and packages. Because I work with Laravel every day there is an emphasis on that framework.

Rest assured that I will only use your email address to send you the newsletter and will not use it for any other purposes.
