Why take this course?
Laravel is an established web frameworks and is one of the most popular PHP framework that is open source. Laravel 5 is a substantial upgrade with a lot of new features and at the same time retaining the features that made Laravel wildly successful. It comes with plenty of architectural as well as design-based changes. So, if you are a developer who are new to Laravel and want to learn the most popular features it offers, then go for this Learning Path.
Packt’s Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.
The highlights of this Learning Path are:
- Build a powerful but simple app with Larvel, quickly
- Add essential real-world features such as authentication, single sign on, and search
- Extend your Laravel application with advanced features and high performance techniques
You will start off with building an online forum from scratch using Laravel. You will also learn to use routes, connect a database, add comments, and build an authentication system for your forum.
Next, you will extend your basic traditional authentication and learn how to add social sign-on capabilities with the Laravel Socialite package. You’ll add search features easily with the help of Laravel Scout. Next, you will learn to create and customize your PHP app and tweak and redesign your existing apps for better performance.
Finally, you will learn to utilize Laravel's modular structure, process Javascript and SASS with Laravel Mix, send notifications in Laravel, upload files in Laravel and work with API’s in Laravel.
After you complete this Learning Path, you will be ready to build sophisticated web applications with Laravel.

Well out of date (as of 07-May-2020) with no notes on updates. Extremely bad, almost non-existent, replies to questions. This course has virtually been abandoned.

So far, its good - however, I am using Windows 10 and the video is not clear on how to install npm for Windows.

Ah, just started. They forgot to provide the install videos, luckily a buyer provided instructions in the Q&A.
Another question hasn't been answered in months because the seller of the course, is trying to contact the instructor!!! Yep, they seller doesn't even know how to help.
I will edit my review later on should it get any better, but considering no one will be able to answer any questions on the course, you should all be warned.
UPDATE --
While questions still can't be answered, I have jus come back to this course after learning on other tutorials elsewhere and I must say this course is really well explained and very thorough.

Explica los conceptos de manera fácil y los scripts son sencillos de recordar, deja claro los conceptos antes de empezar a escribir código. Me gusta mucho la forma y el ritmo del curso.

best laravel course i did so far, very recommendable, only author response is lacking, but that's a minor detail here.

The videos are short and pack a great load of knowledge, that format is also great for future reference when you get stuck.
In my opinion a good diction, with the right pace is crucial as I have a very short attention span and I cannot focus without these aspects. That being said, this instructor nails it, he keeps it short and to the point. The only down point for me is there are just a couple of exercises throughout the course, and I think it would do well to practice what you have just learned as you go.
Great stuff, keep it up.

I have been trying many tutorials for Laravel and this is the first one that actually explains everything clearly from start to finish! I would have enjoyed more instruction on installing composer and Laravel for the first time, but overall very good!

I have submitted to almost all courses regarding Laravel and VUE. This one is the best. First of all, there is no one second in lecture that Alex wasted. It is so well organized, out of ordinary explained, with simple and nice flow and pace. Alex is introducing topics, and answered many questions that i had by taking other courses on Laravel. He explained even hard topics very easily that most of instructor skipped, like we are not ready for it. Course is covering many subjects, from simple topics to advanced very easy way. It is only course out of many that i was sucked in, because it was keeping me interested all the time. I like the way Alex introduced 'hard' topics so easy that you will understand. He doesnt explain just on the fly, he takes his time to explain mechanics how it works, then during codding he repeat that, but now you understand exactly what he is working. Everything is prepared, i mean examples. He code from beginning but not annoying things that for example does ( Sometimes Edwin when codding and explaining waste time how to name some variable or some output text for a long time, here everything is prepared, by the way i recommend Edwin also, but this course is much more higher level in my opinion)
PROS:
- Alex is very very knowledgeable
- Alex knows how to pass knowledge very easily with memorable
examples
- You will learn Laravel even advanced stuff
- You will get confidence and learn in depth
- Lectures are appropriate length with no wasting time
- Very comprehensive course
- Best course on Laravel ( i have submitted to many Laravel courses)
- Dont you dare, skipping this course you will thank me if you
listening to me
CON'S: There is no any.
Personal note: I want to thank you for unselfishly sharing your knowledge with great examples. I will take any courses that you have
and support your amazing work.

I'm actually really impressed with this course. It's easily the best Laravel course on Udemy. By that I mean it's professional, well organized, comprehensive and up to date. The material really helped me form a solid understanding of the concepts and architecture behind Laravel. Yes, the official documentation and videos are excellent, but this course filled in the gaps. (For optimal results, I recommend reading the official docs and then using this course as a companion guide.)
There are a few cautionary things worth mentioning:
1) The instructor assumes you have Composer and Laravel already installed and ready to go. If you don't, then you'll need to figure this out on your own before proceeding. You'll also need to have a development environment with MySQL ready to go.
Note: As an alternative, you can use SQLite. Just make an empty database.sqlite file in the /database directory of your project. Then in .env set the db driver to sqlite and delete the other database-related keys.
2) Laravel 5.6 now ships with Bootstrap 4 but the instructor is using Bootstrap 3. Bootstrap 4 is not entirely backwards compatible, so you'll either need to ignore his Bootstrap code, revert to using 3, or make the appropriate corrections to use 4. Honestly, I didn't find this to be a big deal and just edited the blade templates as I saw fit using the new 4 classes.
3) The instructor is not active in the Q&A, nor is he updating the course material. What you see is what you get. This is actually a Packt Publishing course that Packt is offering on Udemy. My guess is the instructor isn't aware his course is being sold here. However, I've nearly completed the entire course and so far I haven't run into any issues that weren't my own fault (i.e. my own typos). So I have to hand it to the instructor for making a really smooth set of tutorials. However, because the course probably won't get updated and the instructor doesn't seem to be available for Q&A, you'd be advised to take the course sooner than later while the material is still relevant.
Would I take another course from this instructor? Yes, absolutely, without question! He really knows his way around Laravel and follows best practices (i.e. PSR/Laravel/Symfony coding standards).

The course contains 3 sections. The section I wanted most, section 3, does not include codes to compare with and the links in the video no longer exist anymore. If you ask for help, some days later you will get 'Thank you for your query. We will look into this and get back to you with a solution shortly.' and nothing more.
The sections 1 and 2 are very well explained for beginners.

this is the best laravel course on udemy. The course is project based. You learn step by step how different features of the framework interact to create a web application. The instructor is extremely well enunciated and all of his points are laid out in very easy to understand lessons. He uses graphical aids when necessary. Highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to fully understand
