PHP is the future

Awesome video man!

Now do one about Symfony ❤

Strict typing in PHP is not just about the beauty of appearance; it's about practicality, reliability, and avoiding errors. Just like following a clear plan when building something, strict typing ensures that you use the right data types for the best results in your code. It's not just for looks; it's a practical approach that makes your code easier to understand and maintain.

Who worked with Symfony and Laravel and can make an honest comparison?

Is this a variation of 'PHP is the best language' XD

Welcome to Laravel world. I am surprise that you guys are loving laravel step by step

i made a college project in laravel in 2017

make a video on symfony

i like it. i wanna master on laravel but i don't how

In one of your other videos, you mention that you never see people making snide remarks or having arguments about PHP. I've seen that side of the internet, and there seems to be quite a vocal minority group that doesn't realize how flexible and powerful PHP in 2023 can be. They all seem to parrot talking points that were prevalent in PHP 5.6 about it's stability, it's speed, it's lack of feature x or *wishlist item a*. PHP 8+ has fixed so many of these complaints and has really put PHP back on the map as a viable language. Laravel is a huge part of that, and I've avoided it for so long because I firmly believed that being a "from-scratch" purist was the way to be.

I've since shed such nonsense and have been spending the past couple of weeks toying with Laravel and all it has to offer, and I feel like I still haven't even scratched the surface.

once a time I was hate php and its laravel.... but now I just love laravel over django & nodejs

How does the function docs look like that?! Is it an extension?

You need to use docker if you don't have a Mac? Booo 👎👎

Try to use adonis js a node based framework…..i will be familiar for laravel developer

Alright...
I'm sold! I've been watching you recently and enjoy your informative videos.
Thanks for sharing this,
james

I use for a project inertiajs with cakephp and is so good

No reason to use PHP

Can you also debunk the myth that Laravel is not scalable.

Taylor should sponsor your videos. They are just so neat! 🤗

Laravel is great. The ecosystem is awesome and it takes away a lot of work. For professional projects I prefer Symfony. I also think Symfony has the best documentation of any framework out there

Appreciate all your hard work making these videos for the PHP community! Laravel is actually what got me into PHP to begin with. It would be great, though, if you could make a video that addresses some of the criticisms of Laravel. For example: Laravel has been criticized for overuse of singletons, overuse of traits, the facade pattern not actually being a facade, lack of good SOLID practices, and the fact that the Active Record pattern can get you into a lot of trouble as the application grows.

Would be great to hear your thoughts on these!

Can you make a video about symfony ? Maybe compare it with laravel

Why do you have two adblocks?

Saw you on prime's channel and it was really well done. Subbed to try and get back into PHP after living in wordpress hell 6+ years ago.

Extremely insightful! Thank you for the great video :)

hey i'm interested in getting to know Laravel ... i'm a Drupal developer and actually would like to start working with Laravel

I've grown severely dependent on Prettier after I moved into the JS world. I just love how straight forward it is, how opinionated it is, and how easy it is to get it to work both in VS Code and as part of a build pipeline.

Does Laravel/PHP have a similar "de-facto formatting standard" that "just works", without a lot of hassle?
What do you use personally, if anything, to keep your code beautifully formatted, without having to think about it a whole lot?

Every developer I know who has used Laravel loved it but wanted it in another language. It is the best framework for web applications that I have seen.

I used Laravel for years. The documentation is truly excellent -- I have only once found a piece of documentation that was not correct, and that bug was fixed within a week of opening the issue (Lumen route groups back when Lumen was still new). I have tried since then to document my own code as thoroughly as Otwell did.

The video I've been waiting for for a long time. Great job boy. I love your way of putting things. I'm not a native english speaker and your way of exposing is truly of quality.

Laravel is horrible, there are so many god damn "products" associated with it, it's a jumbled mess and not worth the time to even bother trying to figure out.

The future is client side, not server side. If you don''t know this by now then you're beyond help's reach.

Been working with laravel for 8 years, and sometime I forget how cool it is for new project or new comers to the stack, it just makes sens and is pain free most of the time

Coming from a Javascript and node background, i wish i would've started with php and laravel. I've been using laravel lately and i love it, sometimes i feel like im cheating.

laravel is pretty fucking amazing

This video made me change my opinion about PHP
Keep it up!

If I'm mostly working with wordpress small-medium websites, do I actually need to learn Laravel? For what? It looks super complicated for me from the distance.

do you have advanced resources on events ,queues,jobs ....

After 5+ years of developing with Laravel, I think the only thing it's missing is a good obfuscator for source code. I've tried Zend/Bolt, but it's not quite there. I hope Laravel or the community will create a first-party solution for push to obfuscate and deploy for Laravel code .

php is so sucky it uses javascript in its build system 😂😂😂😂

Look, you do you you write whatever you want and i do me and write whatever i want

i dont understand why most php enginners says that classes with static functions is the devil when Laravel filled of it is a holy book ... its confusing and pisses me off :\

I've always preferred homemade custom code and have been wary of depending on frameworks because we never know what will happen next. However, the way you put it makes it quite exciting, actually. :) Maybe I need to update my PHP coding to 2023 standards.

Been writing PHP code since 2004 or so, but last I used Laravel in depth was 2014. It really hasn’t changed all that much since then. That’s actually good to see since it means that not only is it very stable, but it hasn’t needed to change much either.

Thanks for explaining simply u answered all of my stupid questions throughout this video

Hi Aaron, I really love your way of teaching!, do you by chance have any courses like udemy that covers SQL in depth, would really love to buy it!

I saw one of your videos that cover the SELECT count(*) stuff in SQL and I don't even have to take notes and I understood it and remembered it perfectly. You are a perfect teacher! Cheers mate, keep doing what you're doing 😃

Thank you Aaron for this Laravel overview. I watched another of your videos on PHP and enjoyed that one too.

very amazing and pretty vedio

Just wow, being in the WordPress space myself, I feel jealous of Laravel people watching this. 😃

Holy crap. This video just connected SO MANY DOTS dots for me. I've been working on a Laravel project (a Statamic website) for about a year but I haven't had to do much tinkering with Laravel itself. I've slowly been exposed to all the inner workings but I didn't really understand how it all came together. Thank you for this video!!

I don't know why people hate Symfony over Laravel while they are literally the same and offers same features. Symfony requires more config and more lines of code but Symfony can scale better and unopinionated you can configure it as you please.
