LARAVEL essentials you need to know in 45 minutes

This is a 45 minute quick introduction to Laravel, covering routes, blade templates, controllers and models. This covers almost everything you need to know to get started with one of the most popular PHP frameworks.

A follow up video will be coming very soon - most likely a long-form video that builds upon the work started in this video.

I appreciate that you didn't add frontend part to this video. People who come from frontend back ground can save the time and only learn what they need.

This was the perfect tutorial for me. I'm not a beginner and I know frontend. I just needed a whirlwind tour of Laravel. Thanks!

I've watched quite a few beginners tuts on Laravel over the last week or so, and this is the only one that I thought explained things in a way I understood easily. Thanks very much. I think I dare have a go myself now!

This is such an excellent tutorial, doing a project using laravel and other stuff I've found focuses too much on the frontend. This simplifies things perfectly and you make it incredibly easy to follow. I know this is 2 yrs later but thank you so much for this!

Trying something totally new with this video. Never made longer videos like this but I think some of you might prefer this. Let me know what you think!

Also, the Bootstrap 4 course is still available on Scrimba. Had some trouble getting it up on YouTube but it will be here eventually!

Thanks for this Neil.

As a former php dev that hasn't really done a lot with it over the last 7 years, this was easy to follow and very helpful as a very first step in to Laravel.

Also good to have a lot of local errors (no plugin for VSC that added the use... items, fixing the correct timezone) that were quickly google-able, and I'm a big fan of the "reality of developing" items you kept in when stuff didn't work as expected.

I appreciate Laravel is "quite a large" topic, but this has got me going - many thanks once again!

This is a very nice tutorial. I have been looking for tutorials around the internet, most of them were so long and I don't have time to watch 47hrs video for a framework while I already know the language. This is a straightforward tutorial that I was looking for. Thanks a lot, Neil.

"building a product from start to scratch" got me

[busyrand]

This was fantastic, and very charming. I didn't actually code along with you, because I took this as more of a Look-And-Learn than a Code-Along. Great job sharing the underlying structure and useful functions nobody every speaks about in detail. Very assuring content.

Thank You Neil. I needed an introduction to lLaravel and you certainly did a fine job explaining the basics.

[JK_Videos]

Thanks, brother. This tutorial helped me a lot to understand what's in Laravel as a beginner.

[keokawasaki]

Great tutorial!
doesn't goes into much detail and probably misses out on some crucial stuff but totally gets you going.

[aarush_thapa]

The best video if you already have other framework's knowledge and just to the point.

[samybaxy]

Thank you, Neil.
Neat refresher on the basics.

[yixiguan]

Absolutely love this tutorial. Like you said, it covered the essentials of Laravel. Now I want to build something using it. I really appreciate you didn't include any styling and authentication in there. It saved me tons of time on something I am not looking for in this video. Great job!

[toxicwxste]

Excellent video, this was all I needed to know to get started. Very concise explanations! Thanks for skipping front-end and PHP basics!

[supercoolcat]

The texts are so tiny watching this on my phone cos I can’t sleep. Asides the text size, your explanations are spot on. Thanks 🙏🏻

12:47 I don't think you have to stop the server. Simply opening a new terminal should be fine.

[seanp]

I'm so sad you stopped after this. Finally found a tutorial that made it click for me.

Note to self: 28:24 for reference in the future.
Wish youtube allowed us to make private messages/notes on videos... sry OP.
