You do know that these videos take a lot of time to create, let alone create the material for the videos. Jeffrey just teach you the basics of a lot of stuff. You can combine what you learned to create one of your options.

I would like to see more real life examples for different domains of activity
The videos are great, I learnead alot, but Laravel is a worderfoul framework that coud do much more. So if you can make more videos fore real life examples like :
- multiple sorting with checkboxes,dropdown menus, complex searching
- dynamic multiple dropdowns on select
- creating a datagrid sistem for admin area
- chat with multiple roles
- ecommerce examples (not just add to cart but also what happens after pay with paypal, validate order if has payed with paypal or credit card)
- optimizing platform for large databases (I suggest to use mysql in your videos not sqlite)
- video streaming
- video sharing with ffmpeg
- laravel and mongodb
- creating and integrating api for hybrid apps
- video chat sistem
Long story short udemy style videos with real world examples. I would be happy to pay extra subscription fee to learn more complex things than basic stuff( for that is lynda). I don't want to know how to make only the wheel of the car, but the whole car itself.
Thank you in advance

I know . It was just a suggestion , premium content for premium fee, because the internet is full of basic stuff. In the past I was paying for lynda crap that in real life healpet me only 30% in my work and the other 70% stackoverflow. Stackoverflow is great but I personally learn better from video content then writing content. Jeffrey could hire more teachers like Plurasight that gives sales fee from the courses that they are teaching.

The thing is, Jeffrey wants to create video content alone. He would've hired more developers a long time ago if he liked that idea.
Oh, and Laracasts has a lot of videos on bits and pieces of how to do stuff in Laravel or it's features and how they work, as well as some important PHP concepts (and a lot of other stuff). That's what makes Laracasts stand out from other video tutorial sites/services.
It's impossible to cover every feature that a client would request from you in a video.

I think the problem with more specific videos is that everyone needs different specific things. For instance at the moment I'm doing a lot of work with electron-beam/nano lithography - and much though I'd love some help from Jeffrey (and he might well enjoy it!), I'm not sure it'd be of very wide interest ;-) But using what you learn here gets you a long way to your specific end :-) P.S udemy has a bit of a bad rep here.
