As a beginner, it's great that you're already following the "PHP For Beginners" series on Laracasts. To benefit more from Laracasts, you can consider the following:

  1. Determine your goals: What do you want to achieve with your web development skills? Do you want to build web applications, create websites, or work on backend development? Once you have a clear idea of your goals, you can choose the appropriate series on Laracasts that aligns with your objectives.

  2. Explore different series: Laracasts offers a wide range of series on various web development topics, including PHP, Laravel, Vue.js, and more. You can explore different series and choose the ones that interest you the most.

  3. Practice coding: Watching videos alone won't make you a better developer. You need to practice coding regularly to improve your skills. Laracasts provides coding challenges and exercises that you can use to practice what you've learned.

  4. Engage with the community: Laracasts has an active community of developers who are always willing to help and share their knowledge. You can participate in the forums, ask questions, and share your experiences with other developers.

As for which series to follow, it depends on your goals and interests. If you're interested in Laravel, you can check out the "Laravel From Scratch" series. If you want to learn Vue.js, you can follow the "Vue 2: Getting Started" series.

Remember, the key to benefiting from Laracasts is to stay consistent, practice regularly, and engage with the community. Good luck!

Happy coding!

Depends on the stack you want to use, view videos that teach what you need to learn. Of course basics first.
