Content Index
Welcome to a new update. I want to tell you about all the content I have uploaded in the last three weeks. I remind you that the community books are all available now, except for the "Online Store" one, which was the last course I made.
As for the courses based on these books, I have already uploaded almost all of them to YouTube. Currently, I still need to publish the PHP one and upload the Livewire and Inertia ones; my goal is to launch them before the release of Laravel 13 to take advantage of the new versions.
Blog Updates and Learning Paths
I have updated practically all the blog content, especially the Android and Blender sections. If you want to learn these technologies, you can follow my learning path in the "Academy" section or in the blog categories.
Android with Kotlin: I am updating the "pillar article" for this category. There you will find modern development using Jetpack Compose:
Book Format: For those who prefer a more comfortable format, I have grouped the Android content into a 289-page book. It is a very complete guide that goes beyond the first steps and is available for the price of a coffee:
Additionally, I have redesigned the website to make it look much more modern, improving the course listings and adjusting visual details like the search buttons. I hope you like the new style!

PHP and Frameworks
I have finished publishing the PHP course. The purpose is to teach you the basics of the language and explain why, nowadays, it is not recommended to program only with "pure" PHP (beyond a contact page), but rather it is necessary to jump to a framework. In the course, we cover classes and other essential concepts to make that professional leap.

Android and Django
Android: I am publishing a daily video of the migration. Currently, we are covering the use of scrolling, class types (data class, enum), companion objects, and handling modern components like floating buttons and dialogs.
