As Laravel web developers, we often need to build Artisan commands for our applications. But interacting with the console can sometimes feel a little cumbersome. Laravel Prompts is a package that aims to improve this experience by providing a simple approach to user-friendly forms in the console. In this article, we'll take a look at Laravel Prompts and some of its features that you can use. We'll then build a simple GitHub CLI client using Prompts to demonstrate how to use it in your applications.

Do attractive things work better? Some say they do, and for good reason. According to a widely cited Stanford research study, 94% of first impressions are design related. Visually appealing designs have the remarkable ability to influence user perception and make it easier for people to find solutions to the problems they encounter. This is a testament to the power of design in shaping the user experience.

There is a scene in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation where Tom Cruise is hanging onto the outside of a jet as it has taken off. And while, yes, he’s going with it, he’s not really on board or in control. Some data executives feel like that. It’s not enough to establish goals — or, the destination in this metaphor. The data strategy must provide a flight plan for making sure you get there — on time, on budget and, of course, safely on board.

In today’s digital world, APIs have become key to connect apps and services, both internally and externally. However, when integrating with external entities like partners and service providers, API security is a major concern for businesses. And from a user’s perspective, traditional authentication approaches in mobile apps or digital channels often deliver a less-than-ideal digital experience.

API observability is essential for enhancing performance, speeding up issue resolution, and tightening security. An API observability tool is crucial for understanding and managing the complex web of API interactions within modern enterprise applications. With the benefits of API observability, you can dive deep into API behavior, ensuring reliability and better user experiences.

REST APIs, or Representational State Transfer APIs, provide a standardized approach for applications to communicate and exchange data efficiently. However, building and managing these APIs can be time-consuming and involve repetitive tasks. This is where REST API tools help. These are software solutions designed to simplify and streamline the entire process for developers, making it more efficient to build, test, and manage REST APIs.

The email marketing industry is now more powerful than ever. A recent study showed that for every $1 spent on email marketing, marketers make $42—a 4,200% ROI! But for developers, creating a winning email strategy goes beyond catchy subject lines and creative design. It’s about deploying effective Email APIs to automate workflows, personalize outreach, and ultimately, drive exceptional results.

As demand for machine learning (ML) grows, rigorous testing and quality assurance are crucial. ML models need quality training data and robust algorithms. Without thorough testing, inaccurate outcomes can occur, especially in sectors like healthcare, finance, and transportation. A 2023 ScienceDirect report found data leakage in 294 academic publications across 17 disciplines, highlighting the need to address this issue in ML-based science.

Test case is the backbone of any testing project. The art of software testing is to write the right test case. Firstly it’s not about how you write it, but rather what scenarios you are writing for. After that, we need to closely tie our test cases with test design and test execution. Let’s explore how to write test cases in the most strategic fashion.

If you compare the world 10 years ago with today's era, you can easily see the difference. From the difference, we don’t mean how the world looks, rather we mean how it functions now and used to function then. What do you think has changed in how the world functions now compared to back then? Is it purely due to digitalization? Or is it just a mere change? Keeping these questions aside, let us tell you that recent data suggests that people spend around 3 hours and 15 minutes on their phones daily.
