Introducing a subject on Laravel at University Syllabus- Getting started with Laravel from Scratch

Well I would suggest to let them watch the following free series: https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-5-fundamentals

Thanks @bobbybouwmann ,

But I am asking incase they are unaware of PHP itself than. This course is fundamental for webdesign using laravel. From where should they learn PHP the best way.

1. Laravel is not used for web design. It is used for Web Development.
2. Web Design and Web Development are 2 different branches.
3. Web Design is mostly done with Front End Technologies and Frameworks or Photoshop, Skech etc.
4. Laravel is a framework for developing Web Applications, it's not for anything web design related.

I'd suggest for a course on Basic PHP, OOP PHP and only after those 2 courses move to a framework. Also, if it's possible, add a javascript course.

They should learn basic php and object orientated programming before learning Laravel.

@Ruffles, @bobbybouwmann and @zachleigh . Could you share me a list of best video tutorials you can recommend which students could view to get knowledge about Basic PHP and OOP PHP after which they can easily jump on to Laracasts for learning Laravel.

Jeffrey's PHP Fundamentals (Tuts+ Code) and Object Oriented Bootcamp (Laracasts) should be a good start.

Oh and it's not just about watching tutorials, they have to practice, build a few apps the old school way to understand things better and only then move to Laravel.

I agree with Ruffles. Just watching some videos is not going to be enough. Videos are good, but practice is far more valuable.

@GTUOSTC I agree with @Ruffles .

Php does not have a steep learning curve, but without having spent some real time with PHP, Laravel is going to be rough. It'll feel mechanical.

It's basically teaching someone to run but they've never walked.

• Html/JS/CSS
• Principles Of Web-Development
• PHP -> oop PHP
• Laravel
