This is an intro to the Laravel framework, from a very practical point of view - instead of going through Laravel features topic by topic, we will just create our first small project of viewing and managing the blog, learning those Laravel features along the way.

Take aways:

In this workshop, I intentionally skip some of the deeper theories and focus on the practical skills - delivering the actual working project.
I will use PHPStorms Junie PHP AI agent to help along the way, using AI rules/guidelines from Laravel Boost.

Ideal audience & Prerequisites:

To start with this course, I assume you already work with PHP, also have HTML and CSS basics.
You will have some familiarity with the command line.
Install PHP and required libraries to your development machine using Laravel Herd.

Presenter:

Lee Walker is a Principal Engineer with Code Journeymen, a seasoned software developer over many technologies, including Laravel & Drupal.
