Hey hey,
This week I released another new course on Laravel Daily, the topic is Next.js!
Some people say no one would watch courses in 2026, but I deliberately make courses SHORTER (max 1 hour), and in this case, the goal is for Laravel devs to diversify tech-skills, and Next.js is a perfect candidate for that.
Also, if you're not following my Filament Daily channel, I announced this week is 40% OFF Filament Examples membership and my FilaCheck Pro package, with coupon code FILAMCP - until May 3rd.
Now, let's get to this week in Laravel!
