🚀 Event Sourcing for Laravel is now available original
I'm thrilled to announce that our premium course Event Sourcing in Laravel has just launched.
If you ever wanted to get started with event sourcing, this is the course for you. It contains a beautifully designed ebook, two hours worth of videos, and a demo Laravel app containing an event-sourced shopping cart.
Event sourcing isn't an all or nothing approach. Even if your project doesn't need the full power of event sourcing, you can still benefit from knowing and implementing best practices from the event sourcing world.
We're offering a 20% launch discount for the next two weeks to celebrate this release.
In this stream, you can see my colleague Brent and I launch the course, and answer questions from the audience.
