24 in-depth lessons across 8 learning paths, written from real client work, with new lessons added every few days. Each one has runnable examples or free tools to try, and a short quiz at the end.
Follow a path from the first lesson to the last, or jump straight to the topic you need today.
Custom themes, plugins, content models and troubleshooting for WordPress.
Laravel, CodeIgniter and CakePHP for custom web applications and APIs.
Running WordPress as a headless CMS behind fast Next.js frontends.
React, JavaScript and accessible UI in WordPress and beyond.
REST APIs, integrations and background jobs with Node.js and Express.
Core Web Vitals, caching and front-end speed for real websites.
Crawlability, metadata, structured data, redirects and migrations.
WooCommerce and Shopify development that survives updates.
Everything, newest first. Filter by topic or search.
Move slow work out of your Node.js API: BullMQ queues and workers on Redis, retries with backoff, concurrency and rate limits, repeatable jobs instead of cron, failed-job handling, graceful shutdown and monitoring.
How to build React components that work for keyboard and screen-reader users: labelled forms with useful errors, dialogs with the native dialog element, disclosure menus, focus management after updates, live regions and how to test it all.
Why Laravel pages get slow as data grows and how to fix it: finding N+1 queries, eager loading, selecting only the columns you need, the right indexes, chunking large jobs and caching expensive queries.
How modern Shopify themes are put together: JSON templates, sections with schema, blocks and presets, metafields and app blocks, with a reusable section and the Shopify CLI workflow.
Editors expect the Preview button to work. In a headless setup it doesn't, until you build it: an authenticated preview route, Next.js Draft Mode, fetching drafts and revisions with an Application Password, and pointing WordPress's preview link at the frontend.
The caching layers that make PHP sites fast, explained in order: browser caching with HTTP headers, CDN and full-page caching, OPcache, persistent object caching with Redis, transients, and how to invalidate each one without serving stale or private content.
A migration plan that protects rankings: inventory URLs, move files and database safely, run a serialization-safe search-replace, map 301 redirects, and tell Google about the move.
How to receive webhooks from Stripe, Shopify, WooCommerce and others reliably in Node.js: verifying HMAC signatures against the raw body, answering quickly, deduplicating retried events, processing in the background and debugging failures.
The TypeScript you actually need in React and Next.js projects: typing props and children, state and refs, events, reusable components with generics, and turning untrusted API data into safe types with runtime validation.
An honest comparison of three PHP frameworks I work with: how Laravel, CodeIgniter 4 and CakePHP 5 differ in structure, database access, ecosystem, performance and hosting, and which one fits which kind of project.
Where WooCommerce stores lose speed and how to get it back: measuring first, controlling cart fragments, enabling HPOS, caching around carts and checkouts, trimming plugins and scripts, fast product images, database clean-up and a quicker checkout.
