Nasrul Hazim seeks reviewers for php and laravel ebook series

Author Nasrul Hazim announced on dev.to that he will accept external reviewers for his php and laravel ebook series, with applications closing on 26 July 2026 [Dev.to]. The call invites any developer to pick one of the eight books and submit a detailed review before the final edition ships in late August. Reviewers must flag four categories: outdated syntax, broken code, abandoned packages, and unclear explanations [Dev.to]. Hazim promises a permanent acknowledgment in the new edition and early access to the entire series. The timeline is strict: applications close 26 July, reviewers are selected by 2 August, the review window runs 3–24 August, and the revised edition releases in late August. Hazim estimates each review will require four to eight hours of focused reading [Dev.to].

The current draft contains outdated examples, such as Laravel 8 routing syntax, which is no longer valid due to Laravel 10's introduction of scoped route binding [Dev.to]. A reviewer can catch such issues before readers encounter broken code. For instance, a Pest test is missing the use function Pest\Laravel\get; import, which would cause a fatal error on modern setups [Dev.to]. Additionally, one recommended Composer package has seen no commits in three years, posing a risk for production projects that rely on unmaintained code [Dev.to].

By converting vague prose feedback into a structured spreadsheet, Hazim turns reviewer input into actionable tickets, reducing the unknown issues that typically surface after publication [Dev.to].
