Your question makes no sense; VSCode is an editor/IDE, while WAMP is a development environment comprising web server, database and PHP. Can you articulate your actual issue?

Laravel Install
Laravel install with vscode vs: wamp? ... any advice?
Level 1
Sorry - I'm a beginner so I'm likely missing something here... which is what I'm trying to understand. I read about installing Laravel in vscode, and elsewhere about installing it on WAMP server. I was intending to use visual studio with wamp, but trying to understand how Laravel fits into this... IE does Laravel replace one of these? Thanks for your time... I've searched quite a bit for more info on this and haven't yet found an answer to this question.

Look at the laravel in 30 days video course.

No, you need some version of all of these technologies.
Laravel is the framework upon which you will build your application/project. You need an IDE/editor (VSCode) to create/edit the files in your application; and you need a web server (WAMP) to run your application (i.e. accept incoming web requests, hand off to a server-side scripting process such as PHP-FPM, and ultimately return a Response).

Ok - thank you! Do you think it makes a significant difference whether I install Laravel in VSCode, or on WAMP? Could you give any advice on how to determine the best route for this?

@Michael1111 You install Laravel to a directory on your filesystem - WAMP probably has a default DocumentRoot configured from where it expects to serve, e.g. C:\wamp64\www.
Finally, you open that directory in your editor (VSCode) to work on your application.

Much gratitude to you both for your time and assistance! FYI - I just started the 30 day course.

Does anyone know how I translate for Windows cmd, the instructions he's giving at 6:15 in Episode 1?

ls and cd will work on Windows but for the installation of laravel use composer, you can find the instructions here: https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/installation#creating-a-laravel-project
If you want to use laravel new example-app you have to install the laravel installer via composer first which is also explained in the link above.
