# DevChalk

> Backend tutorials where each series builds one real app, from an empty folder to production.

Written by Krishan Kumar. Each series builds one application from an empty folder, so parts build on each other: read them in order. Every page has a Markdown copy at the same URL with .md added. [llms-full.txt](https://devchalk.com/llms-full.txt) has every written part in one file.

## Guides

- [How to Read DevChalk](https://devchalk.com/articles/how-to-read.md): What each part of a page does: the code blocks, matching colours, boxes, figures and tools, and the Markdown copies

## Goravel series

TaskFlow is an API for a team's tasks, with accounts, roles, file uploads, background jobs and email. We write it in Goravel, a Go framework modelled on Laravel, and finish with it running on a server.
