Course Description
This hands-on Laravel course teaches you to build robust web applications using PHP’s most popular framework. Ideal for beginners and PHP developers, it covers everything from MVC architecture and Blade templating to authentication, service containers, event handling, and API development. This bootcamp is designed to be highly student-friendly, breaking down complex topics into digestible lessons, while still ensuring you master the advanced features needed for real-world applications.
You’ll start with Laravel setup, routing, controllers, and Blade views, then dive into form handling, validation, and Eloquent ORM for database interactions. A dedicated module will deep dive into how Laravel code is executed, understanding its request lifecycle and the role of middleware.
