How To Route in Laravel It’s a difficult thing when it comes to thinking how to approach the learning process. I’m not a big fan of learning a specific concept, like Controllers, right away. I believe that you learn the best by moving slowly through the concepts. I’ll try to present these concepts in a strategic order. Hopefully it works for you. The purpose of this article is to see how we would normally get to a specific view. The only view that we have currently is the welcome view. If we wanted to modify what the user sees right now, what

A Visual Guide to Directory Structures Where do you put your files? How does Laravel know? These are a few questions that I normally get from individuals just starting out with Laravel, or really any other framework. Laravel creates a folder structure for you and it expects certain files to appear in specific places. If they’re not there, Laravel will not know what to do. It expects your controllers to be in the Http folder, it expects your models to be in the Models folder, etc. If you’re not familiar with those concepts yet, don’t worry, we’ll cover each of them

What is a Chief Digital Officer? Unveiling the Chief Digital Officer’s Role in Bridging IT and Marketing for Future-Ready Business Success Find Out More It’s 2024 and we’re talking about the Chief Digital Officer role. This is a role that hasn’t been heard by many but it’s pivotal in the new digital landscape. The role of the Chief Digital Officer (CDO) has emerged as a pivotal force driving innovation and strategic transformation. A CDO, by definition, is a senior executive responsible for adopting and integrating digital technologies across an organization. Their role, however, extends far beyond mere technological implementation. As

Get Ready to Docker Closing down the PHP project today felt a little sad. It’s a series that I’ve been working on for quite some time now and finally felt like I’ve exhausted the subject. I’ll probably continue with some more advanced topics since I don’t want it to end. As I write that, I feel a little better about it now. Let’s continue with my absolute favorite framework, Laravel. We briefly looked at the installation process in the previous article, and to be honest, it’s about as simple as it gets. There are a few different ways to install

Empower Your Web Development Journey Laravel is a PHP framework that gives you the tools you need to create sophisticated web applications, but it also allows you to focus on the application logic. It’s built with modern language features and supports multiple databases out of the box. What is Laravel? Laravel is a PHP framework built on the principle of convention over configuration. It’s a fully open-source, community-driven project that focuses on simplicity and elegance in building web applications. Laravel was created by Taylor Otwell in 2010 and has become one of the most popular PHP frameworks today. Laravel is built on top of the Symfony component

It’s Kind of Spontaneous. First, we cannot force garbage collection to run (System.gc()). Sometimes it will but it’s unpredictable. In Java, garbage collection runs automatically in the background, managed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The exact timing of its execution isn’t deterministic and depends on various factors, including: Heap Memory Usage: Garbage collection typically occurs when the JVM detects that the heap memory is running low and needs to free up space. JVM Implementation: Different JVM implementations (like HotSpot, OpenJ9, etc.) have their own algorithms and heuristics for deciding when to run the garbage collector. Garbage Collection Algorithm: The

Download Images with Java Whenever your company gets new software, you’re bound to work overtime as a programmer. The staff figured out that you can load images into the POS software and the sales staff can see the image for each part. Hooray…for them. “This shouldn’t be a problem for you, right Dino? We absolutely need this to work. This would improve sales drastically!” …Right. So I contact the company and ask them if there’s any way to import the images in bulk. They tell me that there is. Apparently you can upload an entire folder into the system. As

Visually Explained Algorithms The Merge Sort algorithm sorts an array of items in ascending order. Merge Sort is a divide-and-conquer type of algorithm. The algorithm takes n elements and recursively keeps dividing them until it reaches a state where there is only one element that it needs to focus on. Once that state is reached, it starts to combine the elements and each time it combines them, it sorts them along the way. Let’s dive into an example. We’ll start off with an array containing 8 elements. The Merge Sort algorithm starts recursively dividing the array into n/2 sub-arrays. After the first division,

Visually Explained Algorithms The insertion sort starts with the value at index 1 and compares it to the value at index 0. If the value at index 1 is less than the value at index 0, the values are swapped. The index is incremented, and the procedure is repeated. The best way to see this is with an example. We’ll start off with the following array. The algorithm starts at index position 1. The first comparison is executed. The insertion sort algorithm starts at index 1 and compares it to the index before, which in this case is index 0.

Visually Explained Algorithms Like most sorting algorithms, the Quick Sort algorithm sorts an array of items in ascending order. There are numerous approaches to Quick Sort. This article will focus on one method. T his approach selects the left-most element of the array as the pivot.  It then compares it against the last element in the array. If the pivot is less than the element it’s being compared to, that element becomes the pivot and the left side is incremented. If the pivot is greater than the element it’s being compared to, the index value of that element is incremented. This occurs until
