AI translates the explanation and quiz text while preserving code and answer scoring.

Mailable classes (php artisan make:mail) define emails with Blade views, and are sent via Mail::to($user)->send(new OrderShipped($order)). Notifications go further, supporting multiple channels (mail, database, SMS via Vonage, Slack) from a single notification class. Notifications can implement ShouldQueue to send asynchronously.

How to study this topic

1. Read the explanation once end to end, skipping the code.
2. Re-read the code snippets and say out loud what each line does.
3. Answer the quiz without scrolling back — that is the real check.
4. Read every explanation, even for the answers you got right.
