Web Development Podcasts for Beginners in 2018

Commuting to work from east of Baltimore to Washington DC leaves a lot of time in the car. While driving to work one day early in my web development career, I wondered if there is such a thing as a web development podcast. How would you pull off live coding on a “radio” podcast. Well, you don’t. Well, sometimes they do, but the moral of the story is that I was shocked to find that not only are there web development podcasts, there are a lot of them and really good ones to boot. These podcasts have become staples to my learning and I recommend them to everyone who is just starting out. While there are plenty to listen to, I recommend starting with these. You’ll have plenty of time later to load up deep dives into the V8 JavaScript engine later.

Technology Podcasts

These podcasts are focused more on the technologies used in web development and their use cases.

1. Increments and Decrements
Instead of this:

$article = Article::find($article_id);
$article->read_count++;
$article->save();
You can do this:

$article = Article::find($article_id);
$article->increment('read_count');

Oftentimes you would have a public area, an admin (dashboard) area, and sometimes an API - all inside a single Laravel project. A really good idea would be to separate the files for each area so that your project structure is more clean and there are no unexpected mix-ups. Let's do just that.
The Routes
Having all the routes in the routes/web.php file can get messy and confusing. Let's start with organizing routes for different areas of your web app into separate files. This can be done in the app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php file - open it. By the way, I'm working in a fresh Laravel 5.6 project here.

Anyway, if you scroll down a bit you will see the map() method which gets called when a user refreshes a page. It simply calls 2 further methods, which in turn create 2 route groups - one for the API and one for the web (so the web and the API routes are actually separated by default).
