Hey what’s going on
Today were going over some laravel basics
I was looking up some other laravel tutorials and for some reason they are all like 4 hours long and lets be honest you don’t really want to watch a video for 4 hours.
So my goal is to keep this video under 10 minutes
By the end of this video you’ll know how to build a basic
application in laravel. You’ll understand how to make views, create models and migrations, basic routing, and inserting and editing records in the database.
With that being said The best way to learn a new framework is to build something with the framework
Which is exactly what were going to do.
Were gonna build a classic CRUD application and the most common
Simple todo list
The best way learn something is by actually building something
So were gonna build the classic todo list
Create new laravel app
edit blade to todo list
create form post request
create listItem model and migration
create endpoint to saveListItem
return view with list items
create endpoint to make item complete
Ok so Our todo list is working and it does everything we want it to do
I hope this gave you a basic understanding of building applications with laravel
If I missed anything or you want to know something we didn’t cover in this video feel free to leave a comment below
But yeah that’s basically it thanks for watching!

[@clementborisov7050]

I'm experienced with OOP php and Symfony and that was very well explained, a quick fyi to everyone: maybe for total newbies you'll have to go through the php docs and have some knowledge of OOP php so that you can understand this better. Don't take shortcuts because there are few concepts you might want to know before getting started with Laravel.

[@cricketsport4013]

Before laravel ...... what concepts of oop i need to Learn and practice..?

[@guyunknown9123]

You meant with the model, controller and routing stuff right. I had some exp with asp.net mvc so i kind of understood what was going on here it's just that the laravel has introduced a different style to write the things

[@daytodatainc]

@@cricketsport4013 A good starter PHP framework would be CodeIgniter. It makes you create your routes, models, views and set your routes manually. This will give you a greater appreciation for OOP & the MVP framework.

[@ZystamOfficial]

Thanks, I already knew a lot about php, html, mvc's etc. So having a somewhat faster tutorial was extremely pleasing.

[@mattsocha8754]

Thanks I really appreciate it! :)

[@AmericanHero-c7j]

Yeah, as a fairly experienced developer, this was a really fast explanation of how Laville accomplishes things I can do in other languages.

[@BastiaanEkeler]

Perfect timing on this, I was looking at the exact same 4+ hour videos when I found this! Thanks for the video, hope you keep making these and grow the channel!

[@mattsocha8754]

Hey thanks for the kind words :) I got more videos planned. Comments like these make it all worth it!

[@AbdulhakimHaliru]

@@mattsocha8754 Good job. it is timely. Please keep making short and apt ones like this. Queues, Authentication and JWT. Welldone. It saves a ton of time for developers(Spring/Nest/Phoenix ) who just need to come to speed on a new project and have no 4 hours to spare :)

Just landed my first developer job while finishing my degree and I needed a crash course to get back up to speed with Laravel. This was perfect and straight to the point. I appreciate you!

I wish I could upvote this more than once! What a clear and concise intro into Laravel. Really appreciate you making this.

I'm here because I did not want to watch a 4 hours video haha

[@kdta91]

I haven't touched Laravel for like 7 years and this tutorial refreshed all my memory! Big thanks! No extra blabbing but direct on point.

[@mattsocha8754]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@mattsocha8754 helped a lot! We have a simple web app project coming and decided to take on Laravel again 🙂👌

[@loool21]

Can you please explain all of this? You write all the code but beginners are looking for explained code. But before that we need to know how to get databases set up, how to set up the environment etc

[@shahmask]

Great!, All the sub 1hr tutorials spent so much time on front end design and so little time explaining the laravel functions they were using and how they were interacting with each other. This was amazing. Thank you!!

[@crankyinmv]

Really nice tutorial. Very clean. Very little time spent on page layout, no third party downloads, just the basics to get a Laravel app started.

[@hassan_codes]

This is gold. Now all I need is the documentation and stackoverflow. Thank you

[@arthurion]

That's it. I like it too.

[@dagogouranta5583]

this was beautiful , i'm a newbie to laravel and I was struggling to put it all together, i would understand things here and there . This tutorial really gave me a clear understanding of the bigger picture and now I feel more confident. Thanks Matt !

[@mattsocha8754]

That’s great to hear! I’m glad I was able to help! Keep it up :)

[@claudiohernandelgado3039]

Thanks Matt... pretty cool to start quickly, specially for those like me who works a lot with native php but never got used to frameworks.

[@santoja]

Thank you for the video, I've being working with PHP for many year, but I never had the change to work with Laravel, your video is great and helped me to start some test projects and learn a lot!

This is the best Laravel tutorial on the internet

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it! It means a lot :)

[@AmericanHero-c7j]

I have to say as a JavaScript developer, this almost feels like cheating.

[@homeoffice3524]

So 2 years later it's me 😂 Still can't agree more about your comment. This is brilliant

[@SevAbante]

Finally a tutorial with little to no bullshit additional plugins which does nothing to do with the tutorial itself but just adds confusion. Just clear concise and straight forward.

[@Zack-tx7oz]

Matt, you won me over instantly when you said "So I was kinda YouTubing some laravel basics, and for some reason some of these tutorials are like 4 hours long, and so let's be honest, nobody wants to watch a 4 hr video on KZbin".. Thank you man, your tutorial is just what's needed!

[@mattsocha8754]

Haha thanks! This is great to hear!

Great efforts. I had trouble migrating your extra db fields in 5:45... I had to use: php artisan migrate:reset and then run php artisan migrate

Thank you, Matt! I've been watching several videos and I learned a lot from this video than the 6 hours I wasted watching other videos.

[@mattsocha8754]

Thanks! I’m glad you found my video helpful :)

[@DarrenEggleston]

this short video answered the main problem I have with other longer tutorials. That is the built in dev server. I have Apache installed on both Windows and Linux machines for development of my other projects. Every tutorial starts with the built in dev server and spends 20-30 minutes just getting the environment set up. I dislike having dev environments different than production, I don't want to spend a lot of time learning a new dev server. The short length of the video allowed me to get to the "meat" of Laravel quickly. Thank you!

[@egali34]

ive worked with codeigniter 3 and trying to learn laravel to get in line with current industry, this is so straight forward and easy to understand for someone that is familiar with mvc, its a little different from ci3 in that sometimes routes are not used very often and the form submit goes directly to the controller url, at least in my case but maybe other people practice using routes more. other than that its just the syntax and automated functions such as creating stuff with artisan, at least from what i've learned from this video alone

[@ambrovanwyk6522]

Great stuff! I like how you cut to the chase and only focus on the common stumbling blocks. Less yap-yap and more ding-dong. Subbed to pressure yoy into making more. Greetings from the 3rd world.

[@jlambert12013]

Thank god, someone finally got to the point. Thank you for leaving out 45 minutes worth of jokes, puns, an watching the terminal load. Please make more tutorials!

[@mattsocha8754]

Haha yeah I know exactly what you mean. Thanks for the comment! More videos are planned :)

[@AmericanHero-c7j]

This definitely only works for experienced coders, but there should be way more content like this, for jumping from language to language and framework to framework.

[@enriquecorpus5130]

This is the tutorial that we need. This will work for both beginners and experienced developers who wants to quickly learn the framework. Less bs and pure knowledge.

[@moofymoo]

[@ChocapicSz]

Very cool, straight to the point, no bullshitting video!

[@kirstymarks1473]

Interesting, I decided to take it a little step further by switching between marking it complete or not during the save process by process of guessing (it actually worked to my astonishment), as well as a small amount of styling (strike through) for when it was complete. It would be interesting to see how i can take this further for when I wish to completely delete it from the DB. But ill save the above last part for future viewing. Great tutorial for a complete laravel newbie

Just started using Laragon, and so far, MARVELOUS. Have been doing webdev for 25+ yrs, WP/Elementor/localhosting on Windows (currently Win11 Pro). Due to ongoing issues with XAMPP, the switch to Laragon is a great improvement. I am moving a couple of sites under development, using Duplicator WordPress plugin. (Have used it before without issues.) When I go to install a site under Laragon, the installer.php does not fire-up. Instead it opens in my editor (Notepad++) with this at the top of the file: "If you're seeing this text when browsing to the installer, it means your web server is not set up properly. -- Please contact your host and ask them to enable "PHP" processing on your account." Since Laragon doesn't have much support, I'm digging around to solve this issue. (It appears you have some experience with it.) I'm not finding where in Laragon to enable the php fn in the webserver (Laragon). Can you be of any assistance??? Thank you in advance.
