Backend Engineering with PHP and Laravel

DRAFT PLACEHOLDER PRICING — not a live purchasable SKU while unpublished.

Backend Engineering with PHP and Laravel teaches you to design, build, test, and operate professional backend systems on **Laravel 13** and modern PHP (8.3+).

You will LEARN maintainable PHP and Laravel structure; BUILD authenticated APIs with Eloquent, policies, queues, and tests; and GROW the operational judgment to ship safely — migrations, workers, secrets, caching, and incident-aware runbooks.

This is not a CRUD tutorial and not a frontend course. Free Africoders discovery content may warm you up; this Premium track is the structured engineering curriculum with practice, assessment, and a portfolio-grade Marketplace Orders API capstone.
