Laravel is a PHP framework built to make web development cleaner and faster by following the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. Since its first release in 2011, it has grown into one of the most popular choices for PHP developers. Laravel brings powerful tools like expressive routing, simple database migrations, a built-in authentication system, and Blade templating, making it easier to build full-featured applications without getting buried in repetitive code.

In modern web applications, optimizing data retrieval is crucial to improving performance and user experience. One common practice is caching database queries to reduce redundant calls to the database. While Laravel offers built-in caching features, in some cases, you may want to implement custom repository caching manually to better control your caching mechanism. This article will walk you through implementing repository caching in Laravel 12, explaining the steps involved and how to achieve better performance in your application.

Adjusting a fan's speed using an Arduino is a great way to learn about PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and motor control. With just a potentiometer and some simple wiring, you can create a smooth, manual speed adjustment system. This setup is useful for cooling electronics, ventilation projects, or any application where adjustable airflow is needed.

As a Laravel project grows, it is common to see the same small functions repeated in multiple places such as formatting values, checking routes, or handling basic text transformations. Instead of scattering these across controllers or traits, a more structured approach is to collect them into a dedicated helper file. While Laravel does not include a default setup for this, Composer's autoload configuration makes it straightforward to register a custom helper file. This ensures those functions are always available throughout the application without manual includes.

The DS18B20 is a digital temperature sensor that comes in two versions: a small TO-92 package, and a waterproof variant often encased in a metal tube with a long cable. Both provide digital temperature readings and can be used in many indoor and outdoor projects. The DS18B20 uses a protocol called 1-Wire, which only needs one data line to communicate and can support multiple sensors on the same pin.
