If you're new to Laravel, then the best recommendation is to work through the Laravel from Scratch course here on Laracasts. Further tutorials are available on Laravel's own website.

Both will give you a guided introduction to the framework. For now, try to write code to make (and break) your application yourself - do not lean on AI - so that you understand how the code works.

Then you can level up by following the The Laravel Path available here on Laracasts also.

Good luck!

I like to look after my will and excitement which helps to stay consistent with my learning.

One way you can prolong your excitement is to work on things that are useful to you in that given moment.

For example on Episode 4 in Laravel from Scratch I learned about @props. So naturally I went in my app and started to use them.

Once you start seeing evidence in your progress/results it helps with your morale.

I remember when I started out these doc were super confusing hence probably why the question. I do follow them now and find super helpful just not convince it beginner friendly. There is certainly an art to read and understand those docs.

After all hence Laracasts exist.

Also notice how Jeffrey does refactoring in his videos, that has helped me a lot.
