Description

In an era where artificial intelligence is revolutionizing how software is written, this manual offers a concrete and advanced guide for Laravel developers looking to make a qualitative leap. More than just a technical book, it is a path designed for those who wish to become conscious Senior developers, capable not only of writing code but of guiding complex solutions with competence and a holistic vision. Artificial intelligence, far from being a threat, is treated here as a powerful and collaborative tool that amplifies, but does not replace, human intelligence.

To make learning even more effective, the manual is accompanied by a complete Laravel project developed step-by-step throughout the chapters. This real-world example will allow you to immediately put into practice what you learn, experiment with the proposed solutions, and see how a professional, scalable, and well-structured application is built. Along with the project, you can also download files with all the commands used and a collection of the most useful ChatGPT prompts as extra material designed to help you work faster and more organized, minimizing errors and maximizing productivity.

Each chapter is built to combine theory and field experience: from analyzing the project context to choosing the development environment, from optimal Nginx and PHP configuration to writing effective prompts for ChatGPT. The founding principles of software engineering and how they evolve with the arrival of new technologies are analyzed. Great attention is paid to the importance of the analysis phase, parity between development and production environments, and the conscious use of tools like Docker, Homestead, or native Linux environments.

This is a manual for those who truly want to develop professionally, quickly, and scalably, focusing on their ability to reason, ask the right questions, and choose tools wisely. The reader will find code, prompts, best practices, and above all, strategic reflections, and a method for tackling Laravel development with a broader, more mature, and practice-oriented perspective.
