I am Ahmad Mayahi, a software engineer who has spent the better part of his career building web applications with PHP and Laravel.
I do not come from a computer science background. I learned to code by building things, breaking them, and reading other people's code until the patterns clicked. That experience shaped how I write and teach — I have no patience for unnecessary theory, and I assume you do not either.
Over the years, I have worked on projects ranging from small MVPs to large-scale applications serving thousands of users. The lessons in this book come from that experience — from the mistakes I made, the refactors I wish I had done earlier, and the patterns that actually held up over time.
