Laravel 8 from Scratch?
I think it may be beneficial to create a new Laravel from scratch series specifically focusing on Laravel 8 and all the changes. I for one would benefit a lot from such a series, and I'm sure others too. Are there any plans to do so?

@pt-83 Every couple of years the series gets renewed. Since the current series was started only about a year ago, I wouldn't expect a full re-do for some time yet; probably at least a year. It has 68 thorough episodes, with the latest one being concluded in April of this year. You just need to continue on to the "What's new in Laravel 8" series here:

Dedicated series are also available to the major new features, such as Jetstream.

Thanks for the reply. I think my frustration boils down to a few things.
The previous boilerplate used @extends and @yield etc. Whilst these still exist, if you want to switch to the new way then there is some learning curve, which is NOT covered by the components videos...
Also all the tailwind <x-guest-layout> and <x-slot> tags are confusing to me. Perhaps rather a new Laravel series, maybe something detailing the above would be beneficial. I got used to the Laravel 7 way of building, now it feels I'm back to square one. I can't even get views to render without Undefined variable: slot
I did figure it out, but it would be helpful if a quick video on this was available so others don't get stuck.

addition on what @talinon said, you will find the small embedded information at the bottom of every series episode on what has already changed depending on what the series you are learning from, for example, personally i have learned from the series called 'laravel from scratch' which has 68 episodes, and uses a laravel 6 if am not mistaken, but due to the addition of those information and using the laravel documentation, i can say am quite competent on laravel 8. Just go ahead and try out the course. Its fun
