Hi everyone,
I a professional in php and working now years with it. Created some really complicated applications. But doing it all without a framework is really uncomfortable ( you all know the spaghetti-code problem in core php programming) . So I decided to continue my php live with a good framework.
For now I didn't see someone who suggest something other than lavarel.
I just want to know I they're right and if yes, how is the quickest way to learn it and where can I find the material for that for free??
Thank you
If you get value from watching those you should consider becoming a paying member - Jeffrey has produced a lot of really valuable material here and it's good to pay him back for his work :-)
@sharifghaderi You’re on a Laravel-focused website. Of course people are going to advocate it!
There’s no “quick” way to learn anything. You know yourself better than any one else. How do you best learn? Play to your strengths. If you’re a visual learner, watch some screen-casts. If you prefer reading, pick up a book (I wrote one).
You can read as many books as you like, and watch as many videos, but you don't actually start learning until you roll up your sleeves and start coding. As mentioned above, watch the fundamentals videos, think of a project to do (perhaps a re-write of something you've done in spaghetti code) and start coding
Thanks guys
But nobody responded on the framework itself.
I know that I'm in a laravel forum but I just wanted to know if there is something similar or even better than laravel.
But thank you all for the fast responses.
@sharifghaderi the other frameworks to consider are probably Symfony which is (possibly) more flexible but more complex, Yii which I've never used, Zend again - possibly more powerful, but again more complex. Possibly also Aura and Phalcon which is geared towards performance.
And then there about a hundred others if you have the time ;-) I've used a few - but none have led to as readable, pleasant code as Laravel.
Step 1, get more sleep. You can't learn anything sleep deprived.
Step 2, start coding with Laravel. I personally just dove in and referenced the documentation every few minutes. I made a site to help me balance my check book, really helped me learn the fundamentals.
Really, you never stop learning. Every day I discover something new about the framework or a better way to approach something.
