What is the best way to learn PHP + Laravel?

My university's course "Software Development and Construction" has been started and my professor has said that he'll hire 4 to 5 persons from our class into his company if they learn and perform well.

I've a good and deep understanding of programming fundamentals and object oriented programming as I've completed both CS50 by Harvard University and an MOOC by university of Helsinki. And I've gotten 4 GPA on both my FOP and OOP courses https://vlc.onl/ .

I want to learn PHP and its framework Laravel to the best of my abilities so that I can get full grades and secure a spot on the job.

Thanks!

It depends on your visual learning style.

I'm a visual learner, and the videos on Laracasts are perfect for me.

My wife is much more of a read & write learner, and learns best from books she can reference, and practical examples.

e.g. Learning Styles

The best method for you will depend on you! The Laravel documentation is not a bad place to start.
