Part One: Creating a Custom Pagination View in Laravel
Learn how to create a custom paginator view in Laravel 4 that allows users to enter a specific page number in a text box and jump to that page. The tutorial walks you through implementing the view step-by-step, including adding clickable links and the text box. The end result is a simple pagination view with a text box that lets users easily navigate through large data sets without an infinite-scroll-like solution.

Getting Kint to Work With Laravel 4.1
Kint is a PHP tool designed to make debugging PHP easier and more organized. It takes output from PHP's var_dump() and debug_backtrace() functions and formats it nicely. While not part of Laravel itself, Kint can be used in conjunction with Laravel's dd function for a powerful debugging combination. Some users have had issues getting Kint to work with Laravel, but one solution is to modify the order of dependencies in the composer.json file. Alternatively, you can manually adjust the autoload_files.php file to ensure that Kint is loaded before Laravel.
Laravel 4: Be Careful With Your After Filters
Learn how to use the after filter in Laravel 4 to perform tasks after your routes and controllers have run. This filter can be used for various purposes, such as logging or checking specific conditions. By using the after filter, you can manipulate the response content before it is sent to the client.
