Top 8 Recommended Laravel Self-Study Materials! [November 2024]

Learn the incredibly popular and in demand Laravel framework. There are countless Laravel courses in the world; here's what makes this one unique:

• No assumptions that you already understand the PHP language.

• No assumptions that you already understand the "Model View Controller" pattern.

• No assumptions that you already understand how to setup a dev environment on your computer.

• No assumptions that you already understand how to deploy a website.

• No assumptions that you already understand the Linux command-line.

Laravel is an amazing framework, but because it is so feature-complete I've noticed that a lot of guides and tutorials get overly ambitious and introduce 10 or 20 new concepts in a single lesson which is frustrating when you're a beginner and you're trying to actually understand why you're doing what you're doing. I've also noticed a lot of tutorials assume you've already used lots of other web application frameworks before Laravel, and so they don't actually explain any of the organizational or conceptual pieces of the puzzle.

This course is different because I assume that Laravel is the first web application framework you've ever attempted to learn, and so we move at a pace where you can actually absorb the big-picture concepts that exist in all frameworks; not just Laravel.

Here's what we'll learn in the course:

• The PHP language itself

• Getting our computer ready for Laravel

• User registration, log in, log out

• Profile Photo Upload (server-side resize & storage)

• The Blade Template Engine

• Composer the PHP Dependency Manager

• Form Validation

• Gates, Policies, Permissions (e.g. You can only edit your own posts and not other people's posts)

• Relationships; letting one user follow another user

• How to use Models to query for the exact data you want (e.g. homepage feed of posts from the users you follow)

• How to send automated emails from your app

• Add API URLS that allow users to login and create & delete posts from outside the context of a web browser

• Use Docker to practice deploying to a Linux server

• Configure a real public Ubuntu VPS to host our Laravel app with a real domain

• Setup our VPS as a Git server that you can push to for effortless future updates to your live site

I encourage you to watch the freely available first lesson titled "Welcome To The Course" to get a better feel for the course.

This course may be brand new, but this isn’t my first time teaching. I’ve led training sessions for Fortune 500 companies and I’ve already helped over 200,000 people on Udemy and received the following feedback:

"Brad definitely has some of the best techniques to embed the lesson into your mind… hands down these are the best tutorials I have had the opportunity to view."

"Presentation is concise without being tedious… you honestly feel that you have a thorough understanding of the subject."

"…[Brad] explained the process. Not memorize this or that, he explained the process. If you're looking to take a course to understand the foundations of creating websites, look no further."

Become highly valuable and relevant to the companies that are hiring Laravel developers; in one convenient place alongside one instructor. If you're ready to begin coding your own applications from the ground up - I'll see you on the inside!

Getting Started with Laravel for Beginners

This guide is crafted with beginners in mind, ensuring that you build a solid foundation in Laravel before moving on to more advanced concepts. We’ll start with the basics—understanding the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture, setting up routes, and working with migrations. These essential concepts will serve as your building blocks as you progress.

1. MVC Architecture
The MVC architecture is at the heart of Laravel, and understanding it is crucial for any web developer. We'll break down each component, showing you how models represent your data, views handle your presentation, and controllers process user inputs and interactions. This structure not only makes your code more organized but also more maintainable.

2. Routing
Routing in Laravel is simple yet powerful. You’ll learn how to define routes, manage controllers, and even create route groups for better organization. This section will help you understand how to direct user requests to the appropriate part of your application.

3. Migrations
Database migrations are a game-changer in Laravel. They allow you to version control your database, making it easy to collaborate with others and roll back changes if needed. You'll get hands-on experience creating and managing migrations, ensuring your database evolves alongside your application.

Moving to Advanced Laravel Topics

Once you have a grasp on the fundamentals, it’s time to dive deeper into Laravel’s advanced features. This is where you’ll truly see the power of Laravel and how it can transform your web development workflow.

1. Eloquent ORM
Eloquent ORM is Laravel’s built-in tool for working with databases. It simplifies database operations, allowing you to interact with your database using an intuitive, object-oriented syntax. We’ll cover everything from basic CRUD operations to more complex queries and relationships, giving you the tools to manage your application’s data with ease.

2. Blade Templating
Laravel’s Blade templating engine makes it easy to create dynamic, reusable views. You'll learn how to leverage Blade’s powerful features, such as template inheritance and components, to build scalable and maintainable user interfaces. By the end of this section, you'll be able to create clean and efficient front-end code that integrates seamlessly with your backend.

3. Authentication
Security is a top priority in any web application, and Laravel provides a comprehensive authentication system out of the box. We’ll walk you through setting up user registration, login, password resets, and even more advanced features like two-factor authentication. With Laravel, securing your application is straightforward and hassle-free.

4. Package Development
One of the most exciting aspects of Laravel is its vibrant ecosystem of packages. You’ll discover how to find, install, and use third-party packages to extend your application’s functionality. Plus, we’ll guide you through the process of creating your own packages, allowing you to share your work with the community or reuse it across multiple projects.
