Alright, I've been using Laracasts for a few weeks now and would like to take the opportunity here to briefly describe my experience and offer constructive criticism to improve the site even further.
A few weeks ago I started with the "Getting Started with Laravel" course and right after the first few hours I was just thrilled. It's incredible how compact and yet comprehensive Jeffrey managed to bring me closer to Laravel, so that I understood the framework without any problems and could now implement any software with it. I would like to thank and praise him for the lessons and the effort he put in.
But what I noticed after the first course is that there is an incredible amount of choice and you don't really know where to start next. I would really like to see a function in Laracasts called "Paths", for example, where clearly defined courses sorted by sequence are offered, especially for newcomers to programming, so that they can find their way around better.
I hope I could explain the whole thing well and thanks for reading my feedback! :)
For me the best path is via the 'from scratch' series and then followed by any of the testing / TDD series.
I'm not sure where the option is now, but I'm sure there was a way to filter courses by level, which would allow you to choose eg intermediate + laravel courses. That might have been on the old search page though - @jeffreyway any suggestions?
Just ran into this thread. Laracasts are great for listening to feedback and ideas!
