Project Overview 0:00This new series will be a direct follow up to Laravel 5.7 from scratch, so in that series you learned the basic building blocks of the framework, but now we're going to take all of those pieces and actually build something with it. Here's what we're making. A very, very minimal base camp clone, and we're going to call it bird board. So you'll see here we can create an account and then build any number of projects, as well as view a timeline of all of the updates across those projects.projects, as well as view a timeline of all of the updates across those projects. Next, if we click on any project, again, we have some basic tasks that we can fill out, we can set two dates, we can apply general notes, we can invite others to the project, and again we can view updates only for this project alone. So as you can imagine, this will give us great room to flex our muscles at this stage of the game. Installing Laravel 1:05stage of the game. So let's finish up this video by installing a new Laravel project and initial izing Git. Now, I'm not sure if we covered it in Laravel 5.7 from scratch, but I personally use a tool called Laravel Valet. If you're a Mac user, Valet is a really great development environment, it makes it really simple to create a new app and instantly view it in the browser without havingit really simple to create a new app and instantly view it in the browser without having to do any configuration, without having to install something like vagrant, it's a very rapid way to get up and running. Now, I already have this, but if you'd like to pull it in, you can simply follow these basic steps and it should be fairly simple. You've already done this step, we've already done this step, so you only needbasic steps and it should be fairly simple. You've already done this step, we've already done this step, so you only need to globally require Laravel Valet, update your bin directory, and then run valet install. If you do that, you should have the valet command at your disposal. And if not, and if you're still confused, search Laravel Valet, Laercasse, and I walk through it with you. Okay. Anyways, I'm going to create a new project and you'll see in Zeppelin, this isOkay. Anyways, I'm going to create a new project and you'll see in Zeppelin, this is called bird board. Okay, fine. And while that's doing its thing, by the way, if you're not using valet, or if you're on Windows, that's okay, you can still do PHP artisan serve, you can set up W AMP, whatever you prefer. Initializing Git 2:14AMP, whatever you prefer. Valet just happens to be a nice convenience, but it's by no means necessary. Okay, let's see the in there. And now, because I have valet installed, I can go to birdboard.test in the browser. And there we go. We have a fresh install of Laravel, ready to go. Let's go ahead and initialize git. Add everything to the staging area and commit with the message of installLet's go ahead and initialize git. Add everything to the staging area and commit with the message of install framework. Okay, in the next video, we'll get cooking.
