Hi. I know Lumen and Laravel are very similar, but I'd still like there to be some Laracasts about Lumen, and it doesn't seem there are any.
I already followed the Laracasts on api-development, which uses Laravel, not Lumen. Those are very good, but now I'm converting everything over to Lumen, and wish that there was a Laracast about Lumen.
What's the best resource I can use as a Laravel native looking to convert over to Lumen for the first time?
There is only 1 Laracast about Lumen, and it was done by Taylor Otwell, not Jeffrey Way.

I wish that an entire series would be done about Lumen. It's definitely an awesome framework, and is becoming more and more popular. A lot of people would benefit from it.
Lumen is Laravel and as such if you can understand laravels basics and php you can use lumen efficiently. A basic series showing a few of the major differences though might be helpful for a lot of people, like routes have differences etc.
But as an intended micro service lumen really isn't a framework like Laravel but almost more like a plugin or a api backend. I use lumen for expensive artisan commands run on a schedule and as a queue. Tayler made it to replace swift in Envoyer to ping servers for up status checks.
