    Informações adicionais:

    Ao longo do semestre, os estudantes beneficiam de acompanhamento contínuo nas aulas práticas, com orientação individual e feedback regular sobre o progresso dos trabalhos. São disponibilizados exemplos de código, boas práticas de documentação e recursos complementares através do Moodle e do GitHub.

    Recomenda-se a consulta da documentação oficial do Laravel (https://laravel.com/docs) e do MySQL Reference Manual (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/en/), bem como a leitura de materiais complementares sobre segurança em aplicações Web (OWASP Top 10).

    Os relatórios técnicos devem seguir uma estrutura clara, incluindo objetivos, arquitetura da solução, implementação, resultados e conclusões.
