Be part of JetBrains PHPverse 2026 on June 9 – a free online event bringing PHP devs worldwide together.
I have dabbled in code like completing the css/html on freecode camp. I have touched javascript but really don't remember much.
I love Laravel as it supplies so much out of the box, but when watching videos like building an app for instance there is a lot of things going on I don't necessarily understand, which I think is limiting my coding to very basic concepts. To give you an example, when I see something like this; $this->get($post)->where()->auth() return, etc.. I really don't understand what exactly is happening here.
My question is what resource should I be looking at to really grasp these concepts? Should I begin with PHP then move to Laravel at that point? What are good resources to look at?
I stated laravel learn the basics and began with laravel 6 start from scratch series, is that a good place to start?
Thanks for your help

Of course you need to spend a lot time time with reading articles about php, laravel etc. And you need to write a lot of code.
Also you can find some tutorial on udemy
just spend a lot of your time practising! dont give up!!!
Good job on finishing CSS/HTML and learning JavaScript :)
$this->get($post)->where()->auth()
this things that you mentioned are of advance PHP programming approach. You should now start learning,
And don't forget to go back learning Laravel, I bet you would then understand $this->get($post) and etc.
Don't give up bro... we've all been in your shoes... we still are from time to time, we are still getting confused and frustrated more often than not... but eventually, everything makes sense at some point... keep up with the good work... You're almost there!
