Level 5
Personally, I learn more by real world examples. So more "Let's Build An App" tuts would be nice (excited to see the lesson launching on Monday). Or setting up and/or using APIs.

Videos! What can we suggest to Jeffery to make them even greater!
I am so thankful that Laravel has Laracasts and just like the name implies this site reminds me of Railcasts.
I actually like Jeffry better and I find almost something to learn in each video I have watched. However, as with any teacher they can always use feed back and not just praise.
As having been a teacher myself I can really appreciate all the work that goes into making a lesson which students most of the time have no clue that a simple 5-10 minute lesson can take hours just to prep which is why I have been rather reluctant to put Jeffery under a work load that makes the effort less than profitable.
NOTE: This thread is not intended to be a lesson idea thread which we really should have a thread for that by itself. Maybe, a forum tag for that would be a good idea.
Ideas:
- having a git repository that is tagged on by lessons that way we can pull based on lessons rather than trying to weed through an on going work in progress
- linking more often to key concepts -- 3 max. More than 3 ends up being an exhaustive attempt and makes making new lessons a PITA
- having a guest section ... however, that is a business decision that might be more of hassle than benefit

Yes, Let's build App tuts would be awesome.
Another thing: Some videos /a video about the core concepts of laravel. Maybe also "related videos" e.g. If i watch a video where Requests are used, show me a video about Requests there.
Also, but this is a general video tutorial problem i don't know how to solve: Searching for something particular is really hard. Like yesterday, i had a problem and i KNEW jeff talked about it ... but i just could not find the video because it was not a dedicated video for that problem, but it was somewhere in the middle of a video.

I too am looking forward to the let's build an app series. I'm not beginner but there's pretty much always some sort of insight you can gain from watching. I would really like to a see more advanced version that dives deeper into the architectural side of things.
L5 made a big lurch towards a more hexagonal view of things but entities have me scratching my head. To the point where I just take the view that commands are pretty much use cases, do the donkey work in them, and leave it there.

It's so awesome that Jeffrey puts so much time in all of these videos! I really can't wait for the "Build Your First App" serie, just to see what Jeffrey has in mind this time :D
