Starting with 5.4, Where to Begin Learning?

Maybe watch the old vids, then compare each one to current docs.

Seeing the history of a project will give you an appreciation and understanding of why it is the way it is now.

Laracast series many beginning vids are free.

Jeff updated Laravel 5.4 videos. I think it's good point to start. Latter you can watch old videos.

hello cklester , i hope you doing well. start learning for scratch to laravel https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-from-scratch-2017

You can still find Laravel Fundamentals 5 around here from 2014 when it first launched. Here is the link:

https://laracasts.com/series/laravel-5-fundamentals

This will allow you to get a pretty good idea of what has changed and what has been updated and added. Then maybe move onto the 5.1 and 5.2 vids and watch those too. Should give you a pretty good idea of how the framework runs on a basic and fairly in-depth intermediate level.

All of the above, but if I may be so bold my Introductory series is just kicking off on my blog - https://assortment.io/posts/introducing-laravel-part-1-installation-setup Give it a try?

Hi, @lukewh ! Your series is off to a good start! However, my message is a month old, and I have a functioning Laravel installation with BGG integration and Stripe payment processing. Woo hoo! Laravel makes it so easy. :-)

It does indeed! To be fair I didn't look at the date, sorry for the necro. Happy laravel'ing!
