Link – Mar 17th 2016

Jeroen Moens posted a, very well written, article on paying technical debt in a legacy codebase.

How can you get a legacy codebase under control and bring it to a new level of maturity? This post summarises my advice and lessons learned from years of working on a large legacy web application.

On a sidenote: as an Artisan I always like to sneak in a little Laravel in legacy projects. There are a lot of Illuminate components take can be used independently outside Laravel. If you want to do this too take a look at Matt Stauffer's Torch repo on GitHub.

Stay up to date with all things Laravel, PHP, and JavaScript.

You can follow me on these platforms:

On all these platforms, regularly share programming tips, and what I myself have learned in ongoing projects.

Every month I send out a newsletter containing lots of interesting stuff for the modern PHP developer.

Expect quick tips & tricks, interesting tutorials, opinions and packages. Because I work with Laravel every day there is an emphasis on that framework.

Rest assured that I will only use your email address to send you the newsletter and will not use it for any other purposes.
