Re: laravel/bootstrap project! -- new experience

Hey Bruce,

I can see you really are keen to get a Laravel app up and running. That’s
great! 😁

I really think this will be your best resource for figuring out Laravel -
https://laracasts.com/path

You’re not going to find much help here as this is a general PHP mail list
which deals mostly with issues that users find with PHP specific things
they are trying.

When it comes to understanding a framework written in PHP (Laravel) you
will need to try forums more directly related to it - like those on the
Laracasts website:

That said - even then, you probably won’t get many responses to general
queries such as those you have sent to this group.

All of what you have asked in this PHP mailing list can be answered by
watching and following along (coding) with the videos in the “path” (A
group of related video series in Laracasts nomenclature) in the link above.

Some of them may be paid - but there is more than enough free material on
the site to become very efficient in Laravel - I know as I have done just
that without paying. (Although if you can afford it I think it’s absolutely
worth it).

People probably won’t have the time to offer general advice or teach basic
Laravel concepts, especially when it is readily available.

If while going through said material you come across specifics that you
then need help with you can ask in the Laracasts forums. Just make sure
that you can show what you have tried so that those helping have some
context and at least know that you’ve put in some effort to figure it out
for yourself.

All the best with the Laravel.
