Welcome. Hope you learn alot.
To get started I can highly recommend the "laravel 8 from scratch" series. If you haven't used php before I can also recommend the "php practitioner" series to get the basics of the language

Dear all,
I hope this post finds you all well.
I am a recent high school graduate used to purchasing small-size Udemy courses, and I am overwhelmed with the sheer loads of courses and contents offered by Laracast. I tried to visit some of the topics and series, but I have no clue where I should start and, most importantly, which courses lead to the next. If possible, I would like to hear how I can plan my lessons and follow a practical roadmap to becoming a competent software engineer.
For your information, I have proficiency in React enough to build a static portfolio website, but that is about it. My goal is to best prepare for the upcoming co-op next year at the university I am attending and land my first software job.
To my understanding, there are multiple series meant for different purposes. If you have some advice on how I should plan my courses and what I could expect from them, it will motivate me to purchase a long-term subscription. If you got any thoughts, I would love to hear them.
Thank you in advance for your input, and I hope to hear from you soon!
Best regards, Young Jun Joo
