# Use the official Jekyll image

du -cks * | sort -rn | head -11
alias ducks='while read -r line;do du -sh "$line";done < <(ls -1A) | sort -rh | head -n11'

Laravel's resource classes allow you to expressively and easily transform your models and model collections into JSON. Let’s learn how to generate api resources.Consider you have a user table in your database and you want to generate api resources for your User model.Run following command on your terminal window while being on laravel project root directory:

STEP 1: Generating Resources

PRACTICE! Just like learning any musical instrument, it takes a lot of practice! Practice after work. Practice on weekends. The key is being onsistent.
What to practice?
- Basic algorithms (for, if else, switch, while, etc..)
It's not just about algorithms, you have to know:
- How to setup a webserver or your local environment depending on your techstack
