I compare the most common approaches for accessing data in a web applications - ORMs, query builders, and raw SQL. Special focus on Eloquent in Laravel with an example.
For sure! I got tired of creators shilling for sponsors / courses / etc. and started the channel to just get (my view) of the unbiased truth out there. I hope it's helpful!
@@GringoDotDev I have started learning about web development from past 3 months. I watched your other video about why nodejs should not be used. That was an eye opener for me. I have gone through dozens of videos and courses and no one has talked about it in the way you said. I started with nodejs and expressjs as framework, and believe me from past 1 month I am just setting up the environment, framework and libraries. Sometimes it is a compatibility issue, version issues, libraries get deprecated. The problem is most of the front end developers are creating the courses and tutorials, they know javascript and typescript and they push for it in the backend as well.
@@streetboyback you're not alone! I agree that junior frontend devs moving to backend is driving a *lot* of the conversation and churn around node.js. Which is fine, I just really hope they keep an open mind to other ecosystems as they mature. I also think there's a really corrosive influence from channel / creator sponsorships, especially Vercel. Keep with it though! As bad as the current job market and learning materials are, I think it's the perfect time to continue upgrading your skills so you're ready for the next boom. I'll do my best to guide you along the way. Thanks for watching!
