How to start

You can follow this journey on the Laracasts

https://laracasts.com/skills/laravel

I would highly recommend starting with this series:

https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-6-from-scratch

It is a free series and covers basically all you need to know to get started with Laravel.

Although Laravel current version is v7 and the series is named after v6, the concepts covered in that series have not changed a lot and most code should work on v7 with no changes.

v7 introduced some new features worth taking a look such as the HTTP client and blade components, but after going through that series you can easily learn those from the docs itself:

https://laravel.com/docs

Those content are also covered in some other Laracasts videos, specially blade components have an on going series:

But this one is not free to watch.
