Instructor-led IT courses across web, mobile, data, design and more.
As a React app grows, components that simply work are no longer enough. Teams need types that catch mistakes before the code runs, a clear way to manage state, secure login and tests that make changes safe. React 19 and today's tools make all of this much…
Laravel is a PHP framework that suits everything from small projects to large systems, whether you work alone or in a team, and it was designed from the start to work with Vue.js, either as a single page application calling an API or through Inertia using…
REST is a way of designing web services that treats data as resources reached through URLs, communicates statelessly and uses HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT and DELETE for their intended meaning, returning JSON that mobile apps, web pages and other…
Angular is a front-end framework from Google for building single-page applications (SPAs) that do not reload the page each time, with the browser talking to the server through REST APIs for a smooth user experience. Current Angular has changed a great deal…
The MEVN stack is a set of technologies for full-stack web development in a single language, JavaScript. It brings together MongoDB, a NoSQL database that stores data as documents, Express, a framework for building REST APIs on Node.js, and Vue.js, a popular…
Microservices split a large system into smaller services that can be developed, deployed and scaled independently. Each service owns its database and talks to others through APIs or messages. Teams can work in parallel and change one part at a time, but this…
Once a Django site has real users, more data and several roles using it, the work changes from making pages work to making the system fast, secure, finely permissioned and easy to maintain. Django has built-in tools for all of this, from caching, sessions,…
Today's web applications need to respond quickly, feel as smooth as a mobile app and be easy to extend as the system grows. React is one of the most widely used libraries for building user interfaces because it splits a page into reusable components, and it…
RESTful APIs are the main way mobile apps, single-page web apps and other systems talk to a back end. A good API needs careful thought about endpoint structure, JSON format, validation, error handling, security and testing. Laravel provides tools for all of…
Building an online shop yourself involves more detail than most people expect: a storefront where products are easy to find, a cart that always adds up, a checkout that never gets stock wrong, online payments, and a back office where the owner manages…
Web applications keep getting more complex. Writing everything in plain PHP often leads to duplicated code, no structure the whole team understands, and rebuilding the basics such as login, form validation and security for every project. Laravel is a widely…
PHP still powers a large share of the web, but the language has changed a great deal from PHP 8.0 to PHP 8.5, the current release, with shorter syntax, a stricter type system, enums, readonly properties, property hooks and the pipe operator. Meanwhile every…
As a system grows and several teams work on it, a single monolithic application tends to become hard to change, slow to deploy and liable to fail as a whole when one part breaks. Microservices architecture splits the system into smaller services that can be…
Spring remains the main framework for enterprise Java systems, from web applications and back-office systems to APIs. Yet many examples still rely on Spring Framework 5 and Spring Boot 2, with javax packages, RestTemplate and configuration styles that have…
Today's web sites, mobile apps and partner services all talk to each other through REST APIs, so teams that already use Django need to expose their data as APIs that are well designed, secure, documented and testable. The Django REST Framework is the standard…
Microservices split a large system into small services that can be developed, deployed and scaled independently, so teams ship faster and scale only the parts under heavy load. Node.js suits this well because it is lightweight, starts quickly and handles…
Most modern web apps run as single-page applications (SPAs) that respond instantly without reloading the page. Vue.js is a popular JavaScript framework because it is easy to start with, quick to read and scales from a small screen to a large system. Yet many…
CodeIgniter is a lightweight PHP framework with a simple structure that is easy to install and quick to learn, which makes it a good starting point for anyone new to frameworks. Splitting work along MVC lines keeps code tidy, lets several people work together…
Django is a long-established Python web framework for building database-driven web sites and business systems, because it comes with everything you need, from the ORM, admin site, forms and user system to protection against common vulnerabilities. Teams can…
Most organisations hold large amounts of sales, customer and system usage data, yet often use it only for backward-looking reports. The same data can drive predictive models, for example forecasting sales, predicting which customers are likely to cancel,…
ASP.NET Core is Microsoft's main framework for building web applications and APIs on .NET, and it runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. Today .NET 10 is the LTS release that organisations choose for the long term, yet many books and code samples still follow the…
Once you can build a website with Laravel, the next challenge is making it cope with larger, real workloads. Long-running tasks have to move into the background with queues, controllers that keep growing must be split into testable pieces, and the team needs…
Once you can build websites with Laravel, real projects soon need more than CRUD pages: more complex data relationships, reports, search, email, background work that runs through a queue, scheduled tasks, and tests that let you change code with confidence.…
Symfony is a well-structured PHP framework that underpins a large number of PHP projects. The current version is Symfony 8, which requires PHP 8.4 or later, and Symfony 7.4 is the LTS release for systems that need a long support period. Compared with Symfony…
