I’m a PHP developer just for hobby.
I wish to experiment a more updated way to develop.
I see most of people choose laravel or vue, but as far as I understood are not intended for PHP developers. Or I’m wrong?
As this is a laravel forum, I'm quite sure that most will recommend laravel. Laravel is awesome and pretty beginner friendly. There are even free video courses on this site to get you started. Search for "laravel 8 from scratch". And yes laravel is php
Vue is a frontend framework so you can mix it with laravel if you want. Laravel (and symfony) are backend frameworks that can render html pages as well
Webpack is a compiler used to compile Javascript into a format that a browser understands. Laravel used to have a wrapper for webpack called mix, but it recently switched to vite. But you don't need either unless you want to compile Javascript

Laravel is LITERALLY a PHP FRAMEWORK, so how come you understand otherwise? it is perfect for beginners, everyone here will say so, as this is the main forum for Laravel, hence the name Laracasts.
Sorry to everyone! I’am a newbie on these topics and looking at the first video contents I wrongly understood it was intended for other languages.
After following your lessons it is more clear the aim of this framework. The main benefit I get it’s the reuse of applications already available and a common clean way to develop applications. Maybe I’m wrong but I see it as bootstrap but on server side, of course much more advanced. For sure it depends by my low level as developer 😊
I will finish your lessons to have the whole picture and then comment again if I still have doubts.
