Hey there. Welcome to Defensive Laravel. My name is Matt and I'll be your instructor for test scores. You might already know me from Modular Laravel in other course available here at L Cast or from Recon. Maybe you don't know me at all, in which case it is very, very nice to meet you. Defensive RL is all about writing robust, predictable, expressive type, safe code, code that's easier to reason about code that's easy.

expressive type, safe code, code that's easier to reason about code that's easy to maintain in the long run code that's harder to misuse and hopefully code that's more fun to work with. Now that all sounds pretty generic, right? But we're going to focus on two things. The first one is making invalid state impossible within your code base, and the second one is catching errors before they happen at burn time. And we're gonna do this by focusing on different

before they happen at burn time. And we're gonna do this by focusing on different techniques, patterns and tools. Things like immutability, strict typing, value, objects, type, safe structures, PHP, stand rapture, and more. You're going to walk away from the scores with a toolbox of techniques and patterns that you can incrementally apply to your code bases to make them more resilient, less error pro, and easier to reason about. I really hope you have a blast with this course,

less error pro, and easier to reason about. I really hope you have a blast with this course, and you really hope you'll learn a lot. I'm very excited to go on this journey with you. See you in the next lesson. Bye.
