Development Workflow

• Put fingers on key board and code
• learn how to setup laravel correctly in production
• Main laravel goes above htdocs
• good idea to setup like that in development also, correct

If using ftp see these guides

https://laravel-news.com/subfolder-install (laravel news)

http://novate.co.uk/deploy-laravel-5-on-shared-hosting-from-heart-internet/

if using git, forge, etc watch the forge video series.

If you get stuck, at least try, and ask here showing code you have tried.

• Don't get over laravelmatized, remember it's a php framework.
• Understand the orm converts to normal pdo / query at runtime.
• So realize not every situation is suited for orm.
• Please still apply common sense.

I like drawing out what forms will look like with yes peccil and paper to make sure customer is happy with field placement.

Remember when asking here, you get many hobby answers, you may get a different type answer if question was asked to a Fedex programmer, or a Walmart / Sams logistics supply chain programmer.

Remember that.

Hi, I'm not too expert in Laravel, but my process is the following:

1. Download Laravel
2. Follow the instructions in github laravel page, in order to setup correctly
3. Install Homestead for having a pure linux console in order to perform different command line tasks.
4. Setup a git repository
5. Install a git GUI client, I like SourceTree
6. If you are looking for a backend CRUD framework, Laravel Backpack is a good and solid choice
7. Follow Laracast and other sites with tutorials and material

I hope this helps!
