What is the best way to learn laravel?
I'm trying to learn laravel, and I'm watching laracasts and trying to find sites that go through building example websites. Is there anything else I can chew on? I'm eager to learn, but I'm just finding difficulty getting the right resources.

There's so much content available between Laracasts, YouTube, blog posts, etc. It's easy to fall into the trap of just watching videos and not actually writing code (I certainly did this when I first started Laravel). I think that's the most important thing, just sit down and actually start writing code. Even if you're just following along with a tutorial, you're writing code and learning how things work.
I'm a fan of building simple things like blog sites or todo lists. A lot of people say that that's boring but when you're still new and trying to learn things, they make for excellent starter projects in my opinion. If you're following a tutorial, do it once following along and then do it again without following along (until you get stuck). Then do it again.
There's a new Laravel 8 from scratch series, maybe try following along with that to get started.
Good luck!
