It is worth checking out PHP for when you are building backend. I did not use Laravel because I had some issues with it (lack of flexibility in some cases) so I ended up creating my stuff from scratch. I am glad I did. It is well documented, modular, maintainable, not bloated, etc. I can give you the resources I have heavily used.

You're very kind. Thanks for the recommendation. If for some reason I have to branch out, I will check php again.

Hey, I have not recommended anything yet (besides PHP). :D

I like "PHP & MySQL: Novice to Ninja" quite a lot. I have used it more so than the other books, so I definitely recommend it. You can find the code archive (code from the book) here: https://github.com/spbooks/phpmysql7.

FWIW I recommend these books (in no particular order):

  ├── Modern PHP Security (2020).pdf
  ├── PHP 8 - OOP.pdf
  ├── PHP 8 - Quick Scripting Reference (2021).pdf
  ├── PHP 8 Programming Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices (2021).pdf
  ├── PHP MySQL - Novice to Ninja.pdf
  ├── PHP and MySQL for Advanced Learning.pdf
  ├── PHP in Action (2007).pdf
  ├── Programming PHP (2020).pdf
  └── The Art of Modern PHP 8.pdf
