What msilabs does

Useful code, shared freely.

Two things, done in my own time: packages that save developers an integration headache, and lessons that help newcomers get started.

Open-source packages

Packages for Laravel (PHP) and JavaScript, published on Packagist and npm.

Beginner-friendly lessons

A Laravel series with animated explainers, made for people writing their first lines of backend code.

Free, and honest

Everything is free and MIT-licensed. The packages are community-made and not affiliated with bKash.

Packages

bKash payments, for the stack you use.

Framework

Alo, a small static site framework.

Write plain HTML, CSS and JS in .alo files and get components, layouts, loops and conditions at build time. The result is a fully static site, with no config file, no imports and no runtime in the browser.

Laravel for Beginners

A beginner-friendly series with animated explainers, so the ideas behind the framework make sense before the syntax does. New lessons are announced on the msilabs LinkedIn page.
